British Virgin Islands Getting There & Away

Getting There & Away

By plane Most international flights into the BVIs involve changing planes in San Juan, Puerto Rico since the Road Town airport is not set up for large planes. Other flights may arrive from Florida or other Caribbean Islands. Flights from the UK often go to the US Virgin Islands and then require a fast boat transfer. By boat Boats move freely between the BVI and the US Virgin Islands. A few cruise ships visit the major ports, but small vessels are more common. The ferry to Anegada from Tortola and Virgin Gorda leaves in the morning the return trip leaves in the late afternoon.
