Practical notes for Necker Island & Virgin Gorda
- Best time to visit
- December to April (dry season), avoiding the June-to-November Atlantic hurricane season for the calmest sailing and beach conditions.
- Getting around
- Guests typically arrive via a scheduled flight to Necker's private airstrip on Beef Island (Tortola) followed by a boat transfer, or by yacht directly to the island; once there, the compact 74-acre island is easily explored on foot or by golf cart, with Virgin Gorda a short boat ride away.
