The Saba Rock Resort has announced an exciting new opportunity for thrill-seekers visiting the British Virgin Islands.

In addition to a four-night stay in a double-occupancy suite, the special features a private helicopter ride from the Virgin Gorda resort to the island of Anegada, where guests will enjoy an eight-mile downwind kite ride along the stunning coast — all the the while taking in the scenery and the natural wonders of the island.

The expedition is fit for experts and novices alike, as guests will be accompanied by renowned kiteboarding instructors.

At the end of their kiteboarding journey, adventurers will relax at a local beach bar before boarding their private helicopter back to Saba Rock in Virgin Gorda’s North Sound, where they will find a host of activities — windsurfing, snorkeling, paddle-boarding, and more — to fill the remainder of their trip.

The group package, ideal for adventurous couples, an unforgettable guys’ getaway, or anyone looking for a unique way to explore a corner of the Caribbean, is priced at $9,850 plus tax.
