Pelican Island & The Indians Description

About 0.5mi/0.8km north of Norman Island, Peter Island attracts many interested in snorkelling and diving. The main attraction is The Indians, four jagged tooth-like pinnacles of rock protruding from the sea that have created a series of canyons and grottoes featuring both hard and soft corals.

When the seas are calm snorkelling is best on the eastern side of The Indians, while the western side features 50ft/15.2m drops with elkhorn and brain coral. The BVI National Parks Trust has placed moorings here.

Hobbies & Activities category: Boating, sailing, water craft activities; Scuba or snorkel opportunity; Region with significant interests

Tips

To use the moorings you must have a permit from the British Virgin Islands National Parks Trust.
Reached by dive boat, charterboat or private yacht.
