travel and getting around

Olde Yard Village is only a 2 minute taxi ride from the Virgin Gorda ferry dock and from the airport. The ferry dock is referred to as "The Valley" but also known as Spanish Town or Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor.

Guests have several options to get here depending on what part of the world they are traveling from. Major airlines fly into the following airports:

Tortola (Beef Island EIS) - International Airport. Upon arrival get the North Sound Express ferry directly to The Valley (a 25 minute ride ). Cost is  $19 one way and you pay North Sound Express directly. If reserved in advance North Sound will have a van waiting at the airport to take you to the ferry dock which is only 100 yards away. It can be walked if you do not have luggage. Please ask our reservationist to reserve you a seat.

Antigua (ANU) Virgin Atlantic flies direct from London Gatwick to Antigua. From Antigua you can fly with Caribbean Sun or LIAT to Beef Island Tortola, once in Tortola follow the directions above. You can also spoil yourself and charter a flight from Antigua to Virgin Gorda with Island Birds but higher costs do apply.

Once you have arrived at Virgin Gorda ferry dock in The Valley:

Taxi- Taxi fare from dock to Olde Yard Village is approximately $4 per person. Please ask reservationists to arrange a taxi driver to be waiting for you. Please be advised that accurate time of arrival is essential for taxi drivers. They are not employed by Olde Yard Village therefore if you are late it is difficult to hold that taxi driver. If the taxi has left then there should be several taxi drivers in the area. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Car Rental - renting a car is strongly advised. Virgin Gorda is a small island but there's much to explore from the North Sound area to The Bath's. Renting a car guarantees you do not miss out. Jeep rentals start at $50 per day which includes a 2 door jeep (seats 4), tax and insurance. There is a $10 fee for a BVI driver license. Please ask reservationists to reserve a car and have it waiting for you upon arrival.
