Tortola Walking Tour
Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Why Walk Tortola
Tortola is the main island and capital of the British Virgin Islands, a mountainous island rising to 530 meters at Mount Sage. The island is the gateway to one of the world's great sailing destinations — the BVI's sheltered channels and scattered islands create perfect sailing conditions. Road Town, the capital, wraps around a harbor, while the north shore has dramatic beaches backed by tropical hills.
