Soar through the sky on this thrilling island adventure over the rainforest canopy. Similar to a “zip line”, the Original Virgin Canopy Tour includes 7 platforms built in between and above branches. But instead of having to cut down trees, strong ropes hold branches out of the way of the lines on this eco-friendly tour. Guests are hooked to a double line that takes them through a soaring path in the sky — with views that defy description; on a clear day you can see as far away as St Croix! Following a brief orientation and safety talk, you will arrive at the take-off point.

Break up your beach-centric vacation with a hike up to the highest point in the British and US Virgin Islands.

BVI’s first national park, Sage Mountain was established in 1964 thanks to Laurence Rockefeller, who purchased 86 acres from farmers and donated the land to the government. Large boulders and lush rainforest on the north side are in stark contrast to the old pastures on the south.
