Tortola, the largest of the British Virgin Islands, is a place where turquoise waters meet lush green hills and a relaxed island spirit fills the air. More than just a beautiful destination, Tortola is especially meaningful to Sydney, as it feels like her second “back home” alongside Guyana. It’s an island tied to family, roots, and cherished memories—making it the perfect place for us to gather, celebrate love, and begin our next chapter together.

Reminder: Tortola is located in the British Virgin Islands, a valid passport is mandatory.

There are 2 ways to get to Tortola, BVI from the USA. You can book a flight directly to the island, or you can fly into St. Thomas and take a 60-minute ferry to Road Town, Tortola.

We recommend you take the most affordable option.

If you want to fly into St. Thomas from Connecticut or New York search BDL to STT or JFK to STT.

Once you arrive in St. Thomas you will take a 60 minute ferry from Charlotte Amalie (STT) to Road Town (Tortola)
