Description

Peter Island is a private island in the British Virgins Islands. This loop starts at the waterfall right by the guest canteen where you can buy sundries and what not. Get ready to climb because the route starts with a legit climb up from the beach to the ridge line. From there the route is pretty straightforward. Stay right as you make your way around the island. There is one junction that seems dubious but it was marked but again it was the right hand side that was correct. As you approach the windmills you are about to enter the turn around loop/lollipop…I suggest doing loop counter clockwise as seems easier/faster. Then you head back the way you came. You have a steep climb back up to ridge and then a screaming descent to the finish at the waterfall(it is man made so not natural) and boom. You are done. Good luck. Start early is my suggestion as it was getting hot by the time I finished. Supposedly the resort has great massage. I didn’t get one this time but an option for afterwards
