There are no direct international flights to the British Virgin Islands airport on Tortola (EIS). Flights must therefore route through one of the Caribbean “hubs” such as San Juan in Puerto Rico (SJU), St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands (STT) and Antigua (ANU). Many scheduled and charter airlines fly to these destinations. If you are traveling via San Juan or Antigua you will fly on to Tortola with one of the inter island services.

If you arrive in the St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands you can choose to fly or take the ferry from St Thomas to Tortola. Simply take a taxi from St Thomas Airport to the Tortola ferry dock (up to 45 minutes drive). Ferries run between about 7.30 am and 5pm and the journey to West End, Tortola where you will go through immigration takes about an hour. If your flight arrives outside ferry operating times you will need to fly or stay in St Thomas for a night and take the ferry the following morning.
