Afternoon tours on Tortola

[travelmama06]

We will be cruising to Tortola on Ncl Jewel in February 2025 - we do not arrive until 12:30 and leave 8:30 !

I’ve been looking for some type of island tour with some beach time but they all seem to start at 9:00 am 🤷‍♀️

any suggestions ??

thanks in advance !

For Island tours you have a couple great options. Tortola is the most beautiful island in the group, in our opinion, and an island tour (with a nice beach stop) is a great idea…
 

You can just hop one of the shared safari taxis that provide various island tours, you will see them identified, or you can ask the nice ladies at the information area for guidance. 
The typical tours include spectacular views and photo ops from high up, and some interesting highlights. Other longer tours include a beach stop, typically Cane Garden Bay which you can read about in the Gorgeous Beaches of the BVI post. But with an afternoon tour you may have a choice of beaches…You can also plan to stay at the beach and just take a shared taxi back to port later for $12/pp.
 

A private tour gives you a much nicer experience and you can choose your itinerary with help from the driver. The people of Tortola are wonderful, and meeting locals off the beaten path just give a much more personal experience…Just gives you the opportunity to stop at a less crowded beach, or see areas your fellow passengers will not. You’d have more to share at dinner! 😉
 

If interested in the latter, AC’s Taxi would be our choice. A couple of people have not been able to get a reply recently so Arnold may not be currently available…
