Has anyone been to Tortola?

Question

How did you find it?

Do you recommend any excursions?

Answer 1

we have been to Tortola for a day trip a number of times and this year are going en route to Virgin Gorda and staying in Tortola for 5 days.  You can take a ferry to the Virgin Gorda baths or to Anegada for the day.  Dont miss Brewers Bay snorkeling.

Answer 2

I found it by staying on the cruise ship and it took me there....

Seriously, I was in Tortola last November on the Queen Mary 2. Of the 5 islands that we went to, I was least impressed by Tortola. We did a general island tour to see the highlights.

If you are a diver, there is supposed to be great diving off of Tortola. Many people also try to visit Virgin Gorda and "The Baths". However, you may not have enough time to do that if you are on a cruise ship. There are also some nice beaches where you can just go and relax.

Answer 3

Sounds like you're going on a cruise.  If so, try going to CruiseCritic.com, click on "Boards", then "Ports of Call", then your ports.  You'll find lots of advice from experienced cruisers.
