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.
