The British Virgin Islands have a reputation among seasoned travellers as the creme de la creme of the Caribbean.

Tortola and most of the BVI are mountainous islands, and though luxuriant-green when seen from afar, the climate and vegetation are much drier than many Caribbean isles, which has a beneficial side effect. Because of the lack of run-off, the clarity of the sea is more dependably higher than many other places in the Caribbean.

For that reason, the BVI’s are a popular destination for divers and snorkellers. Because of the protective effect of the islands surrounding Tortola, seas tend to be calm here most of the time, making the region a welcoming destination for those prone to motion sickness and who want to participate in small boat-based excursions.

The steady winds and calm seas also make Tortola and the BVI one of the world’s premier yachting regions, and any sailing excursions, whether ship-offered or independently booked, should be at the top of every visitor’s list…

    I have to agree with dl: bad syntax, choice of adjectives and a generally jumbled article. The BVI Tourist Board paid for this writer – need anything more be said!!

    Good article but I don’t like her sentence structure. I don’t wan’t to say grammar. If you read the whole article you would see what I’m talking about.
