Exploring Norman Island
June 5, 2025Norman Island is a must-see destination in the beautiful British Virgin Islands, known for its incredible snorkeling and rich history. If you’re a fan of underwater adventure and pirate lore, this spot is hard to beat. It’s even said to be the inspiration behind the book Treasure Island.
One of the top snorkeling spots is the Indians, a cluster of four rocky outcroppings rising from the sea. These rocks are home to some of the healthiest coral reefs in the region, filled with vibrant fish and colorful coral. Nate and his team provide high-quality snorkel gear, making the experience smooth, comfortable, and beginner friendly.
Another favorite stop is the Treasure Caves, a group of three sea caves surrounded by calm, clear blue water. It’s a great place to explore and perfect for the whole family. Back in 1865, the Creque family from St. Thomas discovered a chest of Spanish gold doubloons in one of these caves. They later opened the first jewelry store in what is now known as Creque Alley.
Both the Indians and the Treasure Caves offer amazing snorkeling and we look forward to showing you the beauty beneath the surface.
When it’s time for lunch, you have two great options. For something fun and lively, enjoy a meal on the floating pirate ship Willy T. With a fresh catch of the day, burgers, chicken tenders, and tropical cocktails, there’s something for everyone.
If you prefer lunch on land, we can pull up to the beach at Pirate’s Bight. This beach bar and restaurant offers a full menu, a gift shop, and the chance to relax or take a swim while your meal is being prepared.
You can even visit both spots in one trip if you’re up for it.
