Ride in a private open-top 4x4 taxi along Tortola's dramatic ridge roads to two of the island's most pristine, uncrowded beaches. Sun, silence, and rum punch — this is the BVI at its purest.
What to expect
Your private driver collects you steps from the dock at Soper's Hole and climbs the switchback ridge road above Tortola's West End, pausing at panoramic overlooks across the Drake Channel. Smuggler's Cove delivers a horseshoe of white sand fringed by leaning palms and reef-calm turquoise water, almost always uncrowded. Long Bay's mile-long strand is the island's most photogenic stretch. A cold Carib beer or fresh coconut water rounds out the beach time before the scenic return.
Good to know
Smuggler's Cove is a rough dirt track — the 4x4 is essential. Allow at least 3 hours for both beaches. Coordinate your return to the dock carefully; give yourself a 45-min buffer before all-aboard. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and cash for any local vendors.
