Traverse Tortola's lush mountain spine in a classic safari bus, soaking up jaw-dropping Atlantic views before descending to Cane Garden Bay — the island's most iconic beach village and rum distillery.
What to expect
Winding mountain roads take you over Tortola's 1,780-ft ridge, where sweeping views open across both the Caribbean and Atlantic coasts simultaneously — a genuinely breathtaking geographic moment. Descending to Cane Garden Bay, you find a crescent of golden sand backed by the historic Callwood Rum Distillery, one of the oldest in the Caribbean. Sample authentic pot-still rum direct from the source, then settle in for a fresh grilled fish lunch at one of the bay's beloved beachside restaurants. The return journey is a leisurely ridge-road cruise.
Good to know
Taxis queue at the Soper's Hole dock; private vehicle hire is best arranged through your ship's concierge the day before or via the BVI Tourism contact list. The round trip from West End is approx. 3 hrs. Callwood Distillery (cash only) is a must-stop — rum starts at USD 15 a bottle.
