The British Virgin Islands’ tourism recovery continues.

In another positive step for the destination, ferry service has resumed from Tortola to the island of Jost Van Dyke.

New Horizon Ferry Service Ltd has resumed a temporary ferry schedule operating on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, operating round trip sailings three times each day.

The ferry departs Jost Van Dyke at 7 AM, 12 PM and 5 PM.

West End, Tortola departures are scheduled at 8 AM, 1 PM and 6 PM.

The best part? One of the island’s iconic bars, Foxy’s, has already reopened its doors.

So what are you waiting for?
