Creator's Key Takeaways

We just landed in the British Virgin Islands at Tortella and we've never been here before. It's our first time

The beers here are five bucks, but if you buy a bucket, you get six beers for 25. That's the best deal that we've seen so far.

They have five premium rum tastings for $1. That's what we've heard.

The water is absolute perfection. It's probably in the 70s. Perfect for this humid weather.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Take an open-air safari bus that already has people on it to avoid waiting.
βœ“Bring cash for the shuttle service.
βœ“Buy a bucket of beers for better value.
βœ“Check out the rum distillery for $1 tastings.
βœ“Don't feel pressured to stay at one bar; explore other options.
