Getting Around in Tortola, BVI


The roads in Tortola are steep and twisting—not for the faint of heart. The island is fairly small, so driving distances aren’t long. Plan your Road Town travel around rush hours and cruise-ship embarkations: You can easily become ensnared in Road Town traffic during arrival and departure times (around 8_00 am and 4:00 pm), when scores of taxi drivers pick up or drop off cruise-ship passengers around the pier at Wickhams Cay 1.

Tips for booking third-party excursions:

Booking third-party excursions can be a great way to save money and enjoy a more authentic experience, but there are a few things you need to consider when booking:

  • Look for a "Back-to-Ship Guarantee".
  • Read the cancellation policy carefully and make sure you will be refunded if the ship does not make it to that port for some reason.
  • Make sure you understand where to meet & when, and how to get there.
  • Double-check to make sure the tour times work with your time in port.

We recommend booking through specific suppliers we work with regularly, as all of their options are

purposefully made to fit within the timeframe of your cruise ships schedule, that specific day in port.

Please let your LV Travel Co Designer know if you are interested in seeing these options, and they will send

over their specific link.
