Tortola British Virgin Islands have long been considered a sailing fantasyland because of their tame currents and hundreds of protected, tranquil bays. Consisting of more than 40 spectacular islands, visitors to this area of the globe are provided with ample opportunity to be awed by Mother Nature’s beauty.

The U.S. Virgin Islands offer something for everyone. Besides the gorgeous beaches, calypso and reggae rhythms, numerous outdoor activities and 5-star food, the fact that coming from the mainland States, no passport is required make the islands an inviting tropical destination for many Americans.

The only Island that has Swimming with the Dolphins is USVI St Thomas. So if you are in British, you will need to come to the USVI St Thomas and will need a passport to travel.

Take a Lovely Ferry Ride

Many visitors to the islands have a desire to travel between Charlotte Amalie or Red Hook to St Johns or BVI Tortola, and this is very possible and enjoyable by taking a ferry. Ferry services within the larger islands of the BVI & USVI are efficient, frequent, and fast – which is the perfect way to go island hopping!

There are quite a few ferry companies (you may find a list here) and deciding which company to go with all boils down to what your personal schedule and plans are. Some ferries only run on certain days of the week so be sure to contact the ferry company you’re interested in to see if service will be available on the day(s) you need it.

Another thing to check for is whether the ferry makes a direct route or makes any stops, as you’ll need to factor in additional time if no direct route is available. Reservations are generally not required by ferry companies, but again, you’ll want to check and make sure.
