Shore Excursions

Cycling Tour
APPROXIMATE DURATION: 4 HOURS

Starting from the cruise ship pier, passengers will be greeted by friendly staff and fitted with quality mountain bikes and helmet. Then its time to explore, by bike, some of historical points of interest scattered around Road Town, led by an experienced and helpful guide before setting off along the picturesque coastal road of the Sir Francis Drake Highway towards the west end of Tortola. This is a flat and easy ride with exquisite views of the neighbouring Virgin Islands which lie just a stone's throw away.

The local guide will explain some of the sights on the way such as the old plantation of Sir William Thornton. There will be plenty of chances to take photographs and there will also be periodic water stops along the way. (Cycle time between 2 - 2.5 hours)

At the far west end of Tortola lies Sopher's Hole Marina, the most picture-perfect marina on the island where exists a beautiful melange of pastel shades and Caribbean architecture. Here passengers will be invited to enjoy the complimentary fruit punch and then to explore the local spice and craft shops for possible souvenirs.

The awaiting taxis will then take passengers back to the cruise ship dock (approx. 20 minute ride).
