Food in the British Virgin Islands offers a number of varied influences. Though some of the local flavor was first brought to the table by early immigrants, or even by indentured servants, from places such as the Indies and from China, contemporary influences from around the world do continue.
As one might expect, fish is one of the mainstays for the islanders, with fish soup and dumplings being a local favorite. Another mainstay, the previously mentioned fungi, takes on a few variations with added ingredients such as okra, or even the day’s catch of crab or lobster. Overall, the local fare is highly seasoned.
Along with local fare, one can find a wide and varied menu of imported foods. In recent years, tourists have also had a large influence on the food of the BVI, bringing more American and other favorites to the plate. Locally made rum is a preferred drink when on the islands.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
