| British Virgin Islands Information |
The British Virgin Islands (BVI) is also known as “Nature’s Little Secrets”. They are washed by the warm, captivating waters of the Caribbean Sea, which is an enchantment to swimmers, divers, fishermen, and yachtsmen alike. |
The Islands
These 60 islands, islets, rocks and cays provide an attractive playground for all visitors. Warm smiles and friendly personalities greet you upon your arrival and our chefs are always prepared to delight your taste buds with scrumptious West Indian cuisine. Each island has something spectacular to offer you. Tortola is our largest island. Its highest peak, Mount Sage, is a rainforest that unfolds an array of exotic foliage. Our adventurous and fun-loving visitors will enjoy walking and swimming among the large granite boulders at The Baths on Virgin Gorda. The pristine white sandy beaches of Jost Van Dyke will take your breath away as you sip on locally made daiquiris. The flat coral island of Anegada offers you many National Parks of ship wrecks, coral formations and bird sanctuaries.

Curreny
Traditionally, the BVI has close ties to the neighbouring US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, and uses the US dollar as its currency.

Traveling
Getting to the BVI is very easy. Beef Island’s (Tortola’s) Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport is the BVI’s primary airport. We are served by major connecting airports in Puerto Rico, Antigua, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas. However, visitors traveling via St. Thomas usually travel to the BVI by ferry while being mesmerized by the beauty and splendour of the Virgin Islands. The roundtrip ferry fare is approximately US$45 or US$25 one-way. |
Climate
The BVI’s subtropical climate provides warm temperatures all year round. With an average high temperature of 88ºF (32ºC), it provides the perfect getaway from brutal winter temperatures. |
