Tortola, British Virgin Islands
08:00 AM - 06:00 PM, local time
The Capital of Paradise
Nestled in the sea of tiny islands that make up the British Virgin Islands, Tortola, the archipelago’s largest and capital island, stands out for all the right reasons. An idyllic blend of ancient ruins, iridescent lagoons, lush mountains and white-sand beaches, this Caribbean utopia is perfect for sailors from all walks of life. A mecca for outdoors enthusiasts, Tortola offers adventure at every turn. Zip-line through the treetops where you’ll be able to see the stunning views all the way to St. Croix, scuba dive the coral-ladened waters that surround the coast and explore the natural rainforests on four-wheelers or by foot. Tour the island unlike any other cruise experience you’ve had before – with the Tortola women in tourism, where you’ll not only see and learn about the local sights and culture, but learn about what it takes to be a successful woman in business on the island. Jump into the warm waters of one of Tortola’s countless lagoons or simply soak up the sun on a white-sand beach with a coconut full of locally-sourced rum.
With so many options of what to do, what to see and where to eat the biggest stressor you’ll experience in Tortola is how much time to dedicate to each incredible experience – (unless of course you’re scared of heights and opt to zipline).
