Silversea Luxury Cruises A SPANISH TOWN

Discover Virgin Gorda's unique natural terrain during this scenic visit to 'The Baths' at Spring Bay.

After tendering ashore at quaint Spanish Town, board your open-air safari bus for the 15-minute non-narrated transfer through this small village to the Baths parking area.

The Baths

Located just a short distance outside Spanish Town, the arid landscape offers a first glimpse of the characteristic boulders strewn across a hilly area. Begin your descent at the top of the Baths along a narrow, winding path leading between huge rocks down to the beach. Here an extraordinary sight awaits you. The relatively small beach is hemmed in by a jumble of giant boulders. In between you can explore and swim in shady pools and grottoes, some of them requiring you to squeeze through the narrowest of openings. Your escort will show you how to navigate this maze of boulders and to find openings into dimly lit grottos and pools. Enjoy swimming in the crystal-clear water or just laze away the time at the beach taking in this natural phenomenon. This transfer allows 3 hours to enjoy the unique features of The Baths.

After hiking back up the steep pathway to the road, enjoy a complimentary refreshment or browse in the well-stocked souvenir shop before boarding your safari bus for the transfer back to Spanish Town marina where the ship's tender awaits.
