Are these details incorrect?

1. Boating, Virgin Gorda

While hotels organize day sails, most folks prefer to rent small sail or power boats for a trip around North Sound on their own.
2. Learn to Sail, Virgin Gorda

The Bitter End Yacht Club in Virgin Gorda has a 3-day program that gets you ready to handle bare boats.
3. Windsurfing, Virgin Gorda

Zip across the protected waters of Virgin Gorda’s North Sound on a windsurfer rented from Bitter End Yacht Club (seeLearn to Sail, Virgin Gorda).
4. Fishing, Anegada

Go bonefishing in Anegada’s fringing reef with Garfield’s Guides.
5. Flamingo Watching, Anegada

The island’s salt ponds are the only places in the USVI and BVI where pink flamingos roost. Look, but do not disturb.
6. Hiking

For great views from the top of Virgin Gorda’s Gorda Peak, take the 15-minute hike off North Sound Road. Many outer islands have trails leading to their peaks.
7. Kayaking

Most hotels in Virgin Gorda and the outer islands provide free kayaks. If not, rent one at Virgin Gorda’s Leverick Bay Water-sports (seeBoating, Virgin Gorda).
8. Scuba

Hotels arrange scuba trips for their guests if they don’t provide this activity at their watersports center. Otherwise, sign up for a trip with Dive BVI at Leverick Bay or Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor.
9. Snorkeling

With pristine waters and deserted beaches, this region provides some of the world’s best snorkeling. At Flash of Beauty in Loblolly Bay, Anegada, dive down to explore caves.
10. Swimming

You’ll be continually tempted to dunk in the crystal clear sea that surrounds Virgin Gorda and the outer islands. Savannah Bay and the Baths (seeThe Baths, Virgin Gorda) in Virgin Gorda especially provide fantastic swimming.
