Island hop by tender to enjoy rustic beauty and see the Caribbean as it was decades ago. Relax on beautiful beaches, enjoy great restaurants and dive vibrant waters.
Anegada

It also boasts the Caribbean’s largest barrier coral reef, the 18-mile long Horseshoe Reef, with glorious snorkelling right off the beach. After a morning exploring the world beneath the waves, break for a lunch of the island's speciality, fresh lobster, on Loblolly Beach.
