Through careful and precise planning, this year’s show is geared to be one to remember. When the ocean spray touches your feet, you will be sure to plan again for next year’s show. The following information will assist you in preparing for what will be a memorable experience.
How about reaching our destination by Air
If you arrive by day, you will witness the beauty of the British Virgin Islands as you glide over our mountainous islands and view our many inlets that make the BVI indeed “Nature's Little Secrets’. If arriving by night, the glimmer of the lights as you approach our islands will be equally exciting. When booking your flight, be sure to connect through another Caribbean airport such as San Juan, St. Thomas, Antigua, St. Kitts or St. Maarten/St. Martin as there are no direct flights from USA, Canada, Europe, Africa or South America. Please note that our main airport is the Terrence B. Lettsome Airport (EIS) which is located on Beef Island. This will be your first site of one of our many cays as it is linked to Tortola by the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge. You are now a step closer to walking on the sand in Cane Garden Bay.
Arrival through San Juan, Puerto Rico - Airport Code SJU
Most of our visitors arrive through San Juan, Puerto Rico where regular connecting flights to our island is most seamless. The agents that operate from Puerto Rico are American Eagle, LIAT, and Cape Air.
Arrival through St. Thomas - Airport Code STT
Arrival through St. Thomas is also an option and with connection to Tortola via one of the many Ferries traveling from Red Hook or the central port of Charlotte Amalie.

Below you will find a list of ferries and there contact numbers. This list will also assist you traveling from St. John and Virgin Gorda to the Music Festival.
