The British Virgin Islands are located about 50 miles east of Puerto Rico, and are adjacent to the U.S. Virgin Islands. About 60 islands comprise this archipelago, only 16 of which are inhabited. The largest island, Tortola (Spanish for turtle dove), houses about 75 percent of the population. The capital of the BVI, Road Town, is located on Tortola.
After Tortola, the next largest island is Anegada, followed by Virgin Gorda, and then Jost Van Dyke. The total population of the BVI is under 25, 000 people.
The island terrain is born from volcanic origins, and thus is generally rugged and hilly. Most areas are still natural and uncultivated, much with a tropical, woodsy cover and an abundance of tropical flora. The sapphire blue of the ocean against the emerald green backdrop of the islands offers a true beach lovers paradise with its white, sandy beaches.
We had such a great experience with Adventure Life when we booked the Galapagos trip a few years ago. Mary Curry helped us then, and again now. She is very knowledgeable, prompt in communication back and forth, and makes it so easy. Thank you, Mary! P.S. Your chat room person, Jo, was also wonderful.

Mary Curry is the BEST! I have worked with her for multiple family trips for over 10 years, and she is responsive, works within your preferences and budget, has great suggestions and has personal travel experience at many of the locations. We prefer active family vacations and Adventure Life and Mary Curry make sure that is what we get!
