Can you better describe what you mean by "activity"? There isn't a Soggy Dollar or a Foxy's type establishment that I've run across. If you are looking for a party and dancing every night, the SVIs are not for you. If you want to see a lot of pristine beaches and don't mind being somewhat self sufficient, it may be just what you are looking for. There are very good places to eat and drink with generally lower prices than is found in the BVI or USVI for that matter. Water for filling your tanks is probably the biggest issue. Slower pace, far fewer people, much less development, many beautiful beaches to choose from and a pretty good chance of catching fish, are how I would describe the SVIs. The helmsman has to pay attention to where they are going, especially around Culebra since there are many opportunities to hit the reefs. It's not hard to navigate but more challenging than BVI waters.
