Worried about how to get to the BVI during the COVID-19 restrictions? Well Dolphin Water Taxi has got you covered with their convenient “Fly In and Water Taxi Out” round trip VIP service from St. Thomas to Tortola.
Dolphin Water Taxi is now accepting reservations for round trip travel by air from STT to EIS and returning via water taxi from various locations in the BVI including dockside pickup at your charter boat. To make this possible, Dolphin has leased three (3) twin engine charter planes in St. Thomas and placed them into service for the next 6 weeks and possibly beyond.
At their counter space in the St. Thomas airport, Dolphin reps will meet and greet guests with free cold beer, water, and rum shots while waiting for luggage. Then they simply escort travelers down past the ticketing counter area and get them loaded onto the plane for the 20min trip to Beef Island for entry into the BVI. After their vacation, Dolphin pre-clear travelers out of the BVI, and a water taxi will pick them up dockside at their charter boat or other location. They run to Cruz bay for US clearance, and then Red Hook for our Dolphin cab back to STT.
With our regular operations restricted due to COVID-19, pricing is now $199pp to Beef Island airport in Tortola by our air charter partners, and $169pp returning from any charter dock by water taxi (5 guest min fare base), plus International processing fees.
Rest assured, your Dolphin staff will be there to assist along the way: By phone and email in advance of your travel, at the STT bag claim area to help connect with your Dolphin Airbridge charter flight to Tortola, at your BVI charter dock for boarding on your return date/time, and in Red Hook to get you handled by our land transport back to the STT airport.

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
