We are working with a tight budget, and are trying to find the most cost-effective way to get to Virgin Gorda in late September or early October.
We have Southwest miles that will get us to San Juan. It seems that to then fly directly to Virgin Gorda will cost us around $800.
Anyone have any ideas on how we can get to Virgin Gorda from San Juan without spending more that $500 or so in travel for the 2 of us? We'll ferry if it's even a possibly that time of year. It seems so complicated, but I'm hoping there is a way to swing it. Thanks all!

It doesn't look like Speedy's runs it's direct to Virgin Gorda ferry in Sept or Oct, so we'd have to go another route. And maybe it's too early to search for flight bargains on Spirit, since any flight that would work for our timeframe was over $250. Has anyone used Seaborne? Looks like they go San Juan to Beef Island... Thanks for the options! It's looking pretty complicated.

Try Seaborne to Tortola then take the ferry to Virgin gorda - adds time but seems like you want to do it the least expensive way.

I would call Speedy's to verify your information about the VIG-STT ferry. They only run Tues/Thurs/Sat VIG_STT. Could be if you are not arriving/departing on those days you are not seeing the schedule. I do not recall them ever reducing that run off season but it could be that one of them is dropped Sept/Oct.
