Getting around

Unless you are exploring the islands on a private boat — or water taxi —, a popular way of island-hopping is to use the extensive network of ferry services, with offerings from multiple operators. Reservations within the BVI are not necessary but are required when travelling to and from the U.S. Virgin Islands. Road Town Ferry Terminal is a few hundred metres south of Tortola Cruise Ship Pier.
