The Indians

Four jagged rocks breaking the surface off Norman Island, with coral walls and schools of tropical fish. One of the BVI's most popular snorkeling spots.

The Indians are four pointed rock pillars that rise above the water on the north side of Norman Island. They are said to be named for their resemblance to Native American headdresses. The water around the rocks is 3 to 15 meters deep, covered in coral, sea fans and sponges. Parrotfish, blue tangs and sea turtles are common, and the site suits both snorkeling and diving. The national park has mooring buoys, and boats are not allowed to anchor. The Indians are usually visited on the same day trip as the Norman Island caves, about 30 minutes by speedboat from Road Town.
