BVIs (British Virgin Islands) – a very popular destination or day trip from St. John. However, at this time, restrictions are still tight and costs make the trip somewhat prohibitive by Charter Boat. Apparently, there will be an update on October 23, 2023. In the meantime, here is a map of some popular destinations at the BVIs.
