The Caves at Norman Island, BVI
Three sea caves meet the water at Treasure Point on Norman Island, making this a memorable snorkeling stop in the British Virgin Islands. Float near the entrances and watch how the light changes over the rocks and fish below.
What is the snorkeling like?
The caves are part of a coastal reef stop reached by boat. You can enjoy the formations from the surface without treating the visit as a deep cave exploration. Take your time around the entrances and follow your guide; there is no need to push into dark or enclosed spaces.
Fish gather around the rocky shoreline, but visibility, swell and sightings vary. Tell your captain about beginners or children so the stop can be assessed for their confidence and the day’s conditions.
Make it part of a Norman Island day
The Caves can pair with a separate stop at The Indians or lunch around The Bight. Allow time to enjoy each place. USVI departures must be booked as BVI trips, with border clearance arranged.
What to bring
- Swimwear, towel and sun protection.
- A well-fitting mask and flotation aid, or confirm these are supplied.
- A waterproof pouch and drinking water.
- Passports and required documents if travelling from the USVI.
Keep fins clear of coral and leave marine life undisturbed.
