Customer Reviews

I fell asleep in less than 15 minutes...
I bought this DVD along with Bora Bora, A Day in Paradise. If you are looking for something relaxing this is it. I was on the verge of emotional catastrophe before I bought these two DVDs, from too much TV, too much music, too much distressing noise and going for too long without a vacation (a budget issue). Sometime ago I went in search of some relaxation help. I found some budget DVDs by David Fortney. I own at least 6 of them, Majestic National Parks, Quiet Moods (very relaxing if you mute the music), Earth Flight, Desert Flight, Reflections (my favorite) and Visions of Light. These are great if you just want something awesome to look at, but honestly some of them put me on edge when I'd watch them in the evening. There is a lot of timelapsed photography, fast moving clouds, etc. Virgin Islands is totally different, there are just steady restful shots of some of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. Virgin Gorda is my favorite as the ocean gently laps at the shore and the water is so crystal clear that you just want to sit down and let it wash over you. The scenes are simple and relaxing and there is no music, narration or any other intrusive noises to disturb your experience. There are subtitles at the bottom of the scene when it changes but it is only there for a few seconds. I understand that these have been removed on newer versions of other Virtual Vacations.

Bora, Bora is the same, just quiet waves and waterfalls and the faint sounds of birds. The scenery in Bora Bora is beautiful as well and oh yes there is a faint thunder storm but it isn't disturbing. There are no subtitles to disturb your relaxation experience and the only complaint I have is that it isn't long enough. With these you can fall asleep without any problem. My sister is a Dental Assistant and her employer uses these in her practice. Her patients love them. If you can't relax after 15 minutes of one of these, then you are defintitely a type A personality. Voevodsky says he is thinking about doing one called Nature Walks. I hope he does. If you would be interested contact him at Powerfloe.com.

I've played these DVDs nearly everyday since I purchased them. I'm now finding that I need some different scenery so I don't habituate. I've searched around but haven't found any that don't include music or some narration. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I need them. Thanks.

Advantages of The Virgin Islands Beaches
I found this dvd as well as Bahamas Beaches a wonderful way to rest and relax. They made me feel like I was sitting on the waters edge. My husband who is an alzheimer patient found it very soothing and calming. It has become a special time in the day for him to just relax. I urge anyone to purchase these two DVD's - sit back and relax - and put yourself right there. If you can't get to these two places - this is the next best thing. Thank you so much to WAVES Virtual Vacations - you have been a great help to myself and my husband. Keep up the good work.

Best kept secret
I LOOOOVE this video. The quality of the images and the sound is simply amazing. I really feel like I am in the Virgin Islands when I watch it! I use it while I am walking on my treadmill and pretend I am walking on the beach. It makes my boring treadmill walk seem like paradise. I feel like I have stumbled onto a secret that the general public has not yet caught up to. These videos are truly "virtual vacations." So far, Virgin Island Beaches is my favorite! You won't be sorry!
