When you arrive in Road Town, Tortola to get aboard the ferry to Virgin Gorda, we are located at the Waterfront drive in Road Town. The ferry dock is located within walking distance of Tortola Pier Park.
If you arrive by cruise ship, the cruise pier is about a 5 - 7 minute walk away from the ferry terminal. Speedy's ferry ticket counter is very easy to find once you are at the ferry terminal, counter No. 2.
There is NO NEED FOR RESERVATIONS, you just need to arrive at our office at the ferry terminal 15 minutes before departure time, so that you can pay for the ferry and get checked in to board the ferry.
Our colorful Speedy’s taxi buses will be waiting for you at the ferry terminal in Virgin Gorda, St. Thomas Bay, to pick you up and drive you to The Baths. They will be waiting for you to drive you back to the ferry terminal at the scheduled hour. Our ferry will be waiting for you to take you back to your cruise ship!
Once there, you have to pay $3 cash to enter The Baths. This fee is to help with the maintenance of the National Parks of the BVI.
Without a doubt, the most famous attraction in Virgin Gorda is The Baths, which is a collection of enormous boulders where you can crawl, swim, and climb. Virgin Gorda’s geological features come from volcanic activity. A volcanic crater forms The Valley, where Spanish Town sits, and the island’s iconic caverns have lava to thank, too. When molten volcanic rock cooled off the coast, it formed the gigantic granite boulders now known as The Baths. You can climb the boulders using rails and ropes to reach the remote Devil’s Bay on the other side or just use the trail from The Top of the Baths.

TIPS FOR VISITING THE BATHS
Do not carry heavy bags and items, it will make your excursion very unpleasant.
If you are traveling with small children, be alert at all times. There are narrow and slippery places and areas where the currents can be strong depending on the days.
The Baths are an absolute adult playground. Prepare to climb, duck, and army crawl your way through to find some stunning areas that will have you absolutely believing that this was a pirate’s haven.
Must wear appropriate footwear for walking and climbing, as well as avoid having their hands occupied. You will need them!
Pack light. Exploring The Baths can be quite challenging, with lots of ladders and rocky passages. You should wear a waterproof bag with cash and your card on it, your phone, a camera, and your snorkeling gear in hand. Do not carry big beach bags, purses, or beach chairs, only a small amount of important items, please!
We do not recommend this excursion to people physically challenged. The excursion can visit CocoMaya restaurant or stay at Spring Bay and enjoy the beautiful views, and have some lunch and drinks.
At The Baths you will be able to enjoy beautiful snorkeling when the flag is green, have some drinks and food at Poor’s Man Bar, and buy gorgeous t-shirts, sarongs, hats, and more beautiful beach crafts!
There are lockers by Poor Mans Bar at the beach, bring coins.
