Tours to the British Virgin Islands from Almaty — a journey to one of the most exclusive corners of the Caribbean, where more than 60 islands with untouched beaches, coral reefs, and turquoise lagoons create an ideal world for yachting and secluded relaxation. The British Virgin Islands are the embodiment of every tropical paradise dream.
Why choose the British Virgin Islands
- The world's yachting capital — an archipelago of 60 islands with sheltered bays, steady trade winds, and short crossings between islands is considered the planet's best place for sailing holidays and catamaran cruises.
- Untouched nature — the absence of mass tourism has preserved the islands' pristine beauty: snow-white beaches, mangrove thickets, tropical forests, and coral reefs in perfect condition.
- Exceptional diving — the sunken RMS Rhone, coral gardens, underwater caves, and turtles — the BVI underwater world ranks among the world's top 10 dive destinations.
- Exclusivity and privacy — intimate boutique hotels, private island resorts, and villas with personal service offer a level of seclusion unavailable at mass-market resorts.
- Island-life culture — the relaxed pace of life, the freshest seafood, beachside rum bars, and the friendliness of locals create a one-of-a-kind Caribbean atmosphere.
Popular islands
Tortola
The largest island in the archipelago and the gateway to the BVI — home to the international airport, the capital Road Town, and the main marinas for yacht charters. Tortola is a mountainous island with lush tropical greenery, picturesque bays, and the beaches of Cane Garden Bay and Smuggler's Cove. Ferries and boats depart from Road Town to all the islands of the archipelago.
Virgin Gorda
The third-largest island in the BVI, famous for the natural wonder of The Baths — a labyrinth of giant granite boulders on the beach forming grottoes and natural pools with turquoise water. The Baths is among the most photographed spots in the Caribbean. The northern part of the island is an upscale resort area with luxurious villas and yacht clubs.
Jost Van Dyke
A small island with a population of only about 300, which has become a legend of Caribbean nightlife thanks to the beach bars Foxy's and Soggy Dollar, where the Painkiller cocktail was reputedly invented. The magnificent White Bay with its white sand and calm sea is a must-stop on every BVI yacht cruise.
Anegada
The only coral island in the archipelago, surrounded by Horseshoe Reef — the world's third-largest barrier reef. Flat and sparsely populated, Anegada offers 11 km of empty Loblolly Bay beach, a colony of Caribbean flamingos, and the freshest grilled lobster served at beach restaurants. A paradise for those seeking complete seclusion.
When to go
The best time to visit the British Virgin Islands from Almaty is December through April, when the air temperature is +25...+29 °C, humidity is minimal, and the trade winds provide ideal yachting conditions. Water temperature is +26...+28 °C year-round. The rainy season runs from August to October, when tropical storms are possible; in the other summer months, the weather is quite comfortable and prices are noticeably lower.
