Things To Do

On Land

Hiking

Moskito Island covers 125 acres with up to a 280 foot elevation. There are a number of trails throughout the island which will take you around the coast or over the ridge above the Recreation Area. Our team can take guests on a guided tour and share interesting facts about Moskito, or simply point you in the right direction to brave it alone! Closed shoes are recommended as there are a number of cacti around the trails, and don’t forget your camera and a bottle of water!

Mountain Biking

We have mountain bikes for guests to use and a series of trails to suggest, both on Moskito Island and off. For even more of a challenge try the coral beds on Anegada Island or the steep rolling hills on Virgin Tortola. If you’re travelling off island a charge will apply for this activity.

Fitness

If your intention is to work out and get stronger, the Moskito Island gym is the place to start. We have organic yoga mats, fitness balls, a TRX system and all the usual fitness machines including a treadmill, elliptical (cross-trainer), rowing machine and upright bike.

Tennis

We have two floodlit Astroturf tennis courts located by the Beach House. Both courts have beginner and advanced rackets available along with ball baskets in the Tennis Pavilion. We can organise individual or groups lessons, tournaments, or just someone to hit a few balls with. If you’d like to ‘rage against the machine’, we also have an automated ball machine available.

Team sports

If your group wants to show off their competitive side we can organise team games including basketball, 5-a-side football, beach volleyball, water volley, beach cricket, a mini golf course and even croquet on the lawn.

Treasure Hunts and Beach Olympics

These group activities are a great way to get everyone involved and can be adapted to suit all ages, particularly if there are children in your party, or adults who refuse to grow up.

On Water

Sailing

We have a fleet of Hobie Cats located on the main beach and our team can offer beginner to advanced sailing instruction. Alternatively, if guests want to lie back and simply enjoy the exhilaration of being on the water, we can take them for a cruise around the area.

Kite surfing/kite boarding

Kite surfing, also known as kite boarding, is a high adrenaline extreme sport. We can organise for an instructor to teach the rudiments of the sport in a controlled, safe environment. The first stage is simply mastering to fly a kite on the beach, and then you can move into the water for some serious fun. We can also arrange advanced tuition for anyone already riding. This is definitely one of the most exhilarating sports in the world and is open to almost all ages and sizes.

Stand-Up-Paddle boarding (SUP)

The latest water sport to take the world by storm is paddle boarding! SUP allows riders of all ages to get on the water in any climate or location. Start on your knees to master the paddling technique and within minutes you'll be able to stand up like a surfer on flat water exercising your core and improving balance. Once you’ve mastered your skills on the flat water it’s fun to try it in the surf!
