Tortola Island

The bvi’s capital isle.

As the archipelago’s largest island, the Capital isle of Tortola is the most likely starting point for your British Virgin Islands adventure. 

Ancient ruins of historic settlements past coexist side-by-side with oceanside luxury resorts and modern townships here. Some of the most stunning white-sand beaches in the world line the shores of Tortola, inviting romantic strolls and cool dips in the shade of gently swaying palms. Elsewhere, the landscape is characterized by lush mountains, hidden harbours, and sweeping plains. 

If you’re looking for more exciting escapades (such as water sports, fishing, or boating), then Tortola is more than up to accommodating you there, as well. Anchorages at Brandywine Bay, Soper’s Hole and Trellis Bay afford excellent origin points for sailing, while surfing Cane Garden Bay, or game fishing the North and South Drops are also popular. History buffs will also find much to explore here. Pay a visit to the 1780 Lower Estate Sugar Works Museum, Fort Burt, Mount Healthy Windmill, Callwood's Rum Distillery, J.R. O'Neal Botanic Gardens, Old Government House Museum and VI Folk Museum to learn about Tortola’s rich past.

When staying on Tortola, travelers have a range of options — from luxury resorts, to private villas, and even a scenic campground. Regardless of how you choose to spend your time here, you’ll find both the landscape and the locals to be warm, friendly, and hospitable.

British Virgin Islands Beach Tour, Private Half Day Tour

3 out of 5 Best Beaches to Relax and Enjoy

Majority of the beaches in the BVI have beautiful, white washed sand, blue green waters and friendly locals and great food. There are a few however that stands out the most and I know just where they are.

A personal tour with me as your tour guide will allow you to explore unhindered and spectacular sunbathing spots and local cuisine on the most beautiful beaches in the world.

There are a couple of local dishes that I can recommend as we visit the local restaurants like the fish & funji which is our national dish you want to get the mayonnaise sauce with Onions brings you back like the ratatouille. My favorite local drink is the rum punch it's refreshing for a hot steamy day on the beach but be careful they can hurt. But all in all ask me for great local cocktails and food and I will not disappoint.

TORTOLA BVI. – TOUR – Island Bus Tour / Excursion film by Jean Heard

Jean takes the Bus Tour / Excursion for Doris Visits.   –  Tortola has an award-winning Pier Park, and a second pontoon.

The famous Island Bus Tour or excursion remains the same, with many fun stops. You will pass the dolphin pen but won’t stop with enough time to swim with them, that is a separate tour (end of page). Mountain top lookouts have bars as well as photo opportunities, and good restrooms. There is a very old rum distillery stop and some time on the beach. Bomba’s shack the most interesting, but we just drove past slowly. Good job really, it looks like the place you never come out of sober.

Tortola Cruise Terminal

A lot has changed since the Arawak first inhabited about 100BC and it has been a centre of shipping throughout, and right through the era of the slave trade. The museum is worth finding. We show it in on our walking introduction to Tortola. It is quite moving and is mentioned in the Solo Cruiser book American Portrait. The new cruise terminal has recently expanded and it looks like there are further plans. The one well-appointed major concrete jetty sits two ships and it looks like a second is planned. Often terminals have free wifi, but here some of the cafes have seen this as an opportunity to drive trade and it comes with a purchase or you can purchase wifi. With tourist volume increasing the facilities will follow. These islands are set for an expansion in tourism that they have not seen since the bubble started. There is a newspaper they issue on arrival, it has some good basic information.

Your driver will tell you a lot about the island as you go round . The British Virgin Islands are to the east of Puerto Rico. Tortola is a very popular stop, so you might want to work it out before you go. About 15 of the 50 or so British Virgin Islands are inhabited. Tortola will accept local currency, US dollars but not pounds sterling. However, it is a banking centre for many companies of the rich and famous who keep money abroad. Banking as an industry does not offer tourist opportunities, so as it is a small island built on banking there are not that many things to see or do. Beach sun and sea and a circular bus tour. We show you all the options. First, the island tour. Also, see our film about the Tortola Botanical gardens .

About Us  

Doris Visits is just a little hobby, and a way of helping people research ports and ships. It is our way of giving back as we are on the ships between 6 and 12 times a year as Guest Lecturers. The site is also supported by other guest lecturers.

Why Doris?  It was a character Jean played in a TV show and we started the port guides as a little spin-off. It took over. I mean, rode into town and said this is it.

Who is Jean ?  Jean is a West End and Broadway actress who now has her own one woman show called Royal Mistresses, which she performs at guilds and on ships. Hence, she cruises – a bit. She now presents TV and is known by many cruisers for her Doris Visits port guides.

Who is Stuart?   Featured in a clip in the 2024 Oscars – in the tribute to movie stuntmen – he was the Queen Alien in Aliens. Now, he points the iPhone at Jean when they go and explore ashore. He finished in movies as a director, and now writes cruise thrillers.

The grandchildren who sometimes travel and from their son Luke Aikman. He was the young Colin Firth in Fever Pitch and appeared in Freight. He is now a producer and business entrepreneur. Their daughter helped with the plot of the first four novels and is now writing with comedian Joe Wilkinson.  Laura Aikman is known for being the girlfriend in the Christmas Gavin and Stacey, and Dyan Cannon in Archie. Some grew up with her Saturday show, Mysti.
