Tortola Excursions - page 4

We thoroughly recommend this excursion. We spent a great couple of hours with Alex paddling through the mangroves and learning about the ecosystem there. It really was straightforward and most of the area we kayaked in was very shallow. Alex really understands the environment and we learnt a lot - we saw a couple of baby sharks and other young fish. This was one of the highlights of our cruise and we would definitely recommend.

We were expecting the perfect beach day. What we didn’t expect was the EXPERIENCE to get to the beach! Our driver,Clarence, was waiting for us right outside the cruise port with a sign. The sign he holds is the name taxi company, so know the name of the company when you head out. It’s on your Viator ticket. Clarence was punctual, polite, and gave us one heck of a ride to the other side of the island. For those who don’t know Tortola, it’s a 20 minute ride, over the BIG hill, around sharp turns, and a narrow lane to get to the beach. Clarence explained this to us, told us he knows the roads like the back of his hands, then told us to “hold on”. The ride to the beach WAS the experience. Clarence stopped at some scenic places on the way over and back. Beautiful pictures! My husband and I held on, we laughed, took pictures, and just enjoyed the experience. Thanks, Clarence! You are a gem! Take the ride to the beach! It was awesome!!

Viator is the best! Our trip to the Virgin Baths was amazing and a must see for everyone at least once. The private boat to the baths was amazing, fast and relaxing. Our captain had everything planned out for taxi service at the baths and a return trip. Lines at the baths and the number of people at the beach was a bit much, but several ships were in port. If we were to do it again, I would have called our captain to have him pick us up sooner following our bath tour. Everything was awesome!
