Tortola Travel Guide

 Dabs Says:  After getting off the Speedy safari taxi, you pay the small entrance fee (I think it was $3-4 per person) and then walk down the pathway to get to Spring Bay. As you are reading about the Baths, people will talk about the difficulty of the walk but it's not to this part that... 

 Dabs Says:  When I looked at Cruise Critic it appeared that the #1 suggestion for a day in Tortola was leaving Tortola and taking a ferry over to see the Baths on Virgin Gorda, one of the neighboring islands in the British Virgin Islands. It is the most popular tourist destination in... 

 Dabs Says:  Now this is the part of your visit that everyone talks about, the Devil's Bay Trail between Spring Bay and Devil's Bay. It's hard to know when you are chatting with cruisers as to whether something is challenging or merely challenging for someone who's not in good shape. The... 

 Dabs Says:  After walking through the rocks, you end up at Devil's Bay, the water here is calmer than Spring Bay and perfect for floating around. There are no amenities here, no snack bar, no lockers, no toilets. I didn't snorkel here but my husband did, he said that he saw some fish... 

 grandmaR Says:  Then at the end of our charter of a sailboat in December, we took a taxi tour around the perimeter of the island. Our charter captains called a cab for us. They couldn't get the man they usually used, so they flagged this taxi down and negotiated a rate for an island tour. I... 

 joondis Says:  Nice place, has its own dinghy dock. Great place to watch the sunset EXCEPT all the ferries come in and go out right next to it and its really noisy. Also the tv above the bar is permanently tuned to sport. Then you have the barman cussing with all his loud taxi driver...

 agapotravel Says:  We took the ferry from Red Hook, St. Thomas to West End, Tortola with Native Son, Inc. The cost was $30/person one way, and it took about 40 minutes to get there.Once we got to Tortola, we rented a car. Whew...what an adventure! 

 agapotravel Says:  Maybe it was just our experience, and this isn't typical, but we found the drivers in Tortola to be much more aggressive than on the other islands. The roads were in bad condition, and our rental car left a lot to be desired. As was the case on the other islands, the roads... 

 grandmaR Says:  When we did the circumnavigation of Tortola, I did see surfers on some of the beaches on the backside of the island. It might have been Cane Garden Bay or Apple Bay. The waves weren't too big - not as big as on Barbados in the Soup Bowl, but I did see them there.Surf Spots ...
