New guy needs help with a 5 day itinerary - 06/02/2017 06:05 PM
My wife and I are finally headed down for our very first trip on 6/16, and I’d really appreciate any suggestions you guys might have for a 5 day itinerary. I’ve spent some time trying to learn as much as I can from previous threads, but I hope you’ll forgive any first-time mistakes or goofs from a well-meaning new member!
We’re chartering a Jeanneau 53 out of Road Town, which includes the services of the boat’s captain/owner, and there are 3 couples in our party (no kids <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />). None of us has ever visited before, and I was thinking of the following:
It's our first time, so we'd be OK with some touristy stuff, but most of us would prefer a more authentic experience AWAY from the beaten path. Suggestions for restaurants are also welcome...we like to eat!
Any help you could send my way would be greatly appreciated!

None of us has ever visited before, and I was thinking of the following:
- FRI (6/16): ARRIVE, then stay on Tortola
- SAT (6/17): Tortola > Norman Island (The Indians / The Caves)
- SUN (6/18): Norman Island > Snorkeling at the Rhone > Virgin Gorda (Leverick Bay)
- MON (6/19): Explore (The Baths (if we can time it to miss the tour boats), along with whatever else you guys suggest!)
- TUES (6/20): Virgin Gorda > Jost Van Dyke (White Bay)
- WED (6/21): Back to Tortola
