For future reference, You will find separate forums for Tortola (BVI), St Croix (USVI), and St Thomas/St John (USVI)…

For Tortola, highly recommend AC’s private tours, book early!

@blue_waterwhat do you know about Kuralu Catamaran Tours.  Someone else has recommended them.  Do you live on Tortola?

[blue_water]

Hi guys!

We do not live on Tortola, it is just my favorite spot in the Carib. We’ve not sailed with Kuralu, we spoke with them once and had a day planned, but weather got in the way.
 

But I do know from years of research and meeting others who have sailed that Kuralu is excellent. We would not hesitate to sail with Kuralu, or with Aristocat and Patouche!

@blue_waterthank you.  We have never been before to Tortola, what would you recommend.  Some mobility issues, there are 4 of us, all over 60

For an easy but amazing day, I’d suggest contacting AC’s Taxi to book a private island tour. Tortola is a gorgeous, lush island, with spectacular views of the beaches and other islands from high above. AC will also show you spots that other visitors never see, and will design your itinerary based on your wishes. His contact info is in post #7 above.

 

If you don’t want a private tour there will be taxi drivers at the dock offering shared tours for ~$25/pp in the 20+ passenger, open-sided safari taxis. Check with the nice ladies at the information booth or with the taxi coordinator…

 

Then stop at Pusser’s Pub near the dock for a pint and a bite! They also have a nice clothing line in their store there…

 

Other more active excursions include -

 

Taking the ferry to Virgin Gorda and a walk through the Baths. However that is a bit strenuous and not recommended for anyone with slight mobility issues.

 

The ship excursion to Jost Van Dyke, primarily for beach time in White Bay.

 

And of course the daysails mentioned above, or a private powerboat to visit the other islands.

 

Anything sound good?

And you can just take a shared taxi to either Cane Garden Bay or Brewers Bay, CGB has many more amenities and beach bars/restaurants…

You’d need to contact AC for a current quote…
 

The shared taxi tour may be perfect for you since you are solo…Great way to enjoy a nice tour with your fellow passengers…

Was it with AC?   Do you mind to share roughly (ball park) what the cost is?  We have 8 in our group and I am just trying to figure out options at this point - everyone has a different budget so it is difficult to find something that suits everyone

We have 14 and it is $50/pp with AC......I just don't know if its based on how many people you have in your group or not. He was very quick to respond to my inquiry.
