Question

If I fly into Saint Thomas, how can I get to Virgin Gorda?

Answer

The ferry service can be a fun time if you enjoy being on the water, but it will be a big day of travel. The journey will look something like this: 1. You will need to Taxi from STT airport to the ferry station - taxi's can be found outside the baggage claim doors. 2. You will need to ferry from St. Thomas to Road Town, Tortola. Two ferry options you can take are Native Son or Road Town Fast Ferry. Native Son - https://www.nativesonferry.co/ferry-services/ Road Town Fast Ferry - https://www.roadtownfastferry.com/ 3. Once you have arrived in Tortola, you will need to go through customs and immigration, then connect with a Speedy's Ferry which will take you to Virgin Gorda.

Private transfer via boat to and from Saint Thomas is available for $250-$300 per person. These direct transfers are on private boats and will take you directly to Leverick Bay or your Final Accommodation. We HIGHLY recommend this option as you won't need to rely on public ferry services.

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

While we absolutely love your kiddos, we are asking to keep wedding festivities kid-free!

Question

Do we have to stay on Virgin Gorda?

Answer

For transportation reasons, wedding day accommodations should be confined to Virgin Gorda. Due to limited accommodations, there is no hotel block, however, we've provided suggestions for where to stay on our Travel + Accommodation section. The island is small, so if you just let the resort know you're coming for the Hunger/Duncan wedding, they'll take care of you!

Question

Should I bring cash?

Answer

YES! Bring USD cash with you down to the BVI. We highly encourage coming down with enough to last your whole trip mainly for taxi's and ferry's. There are very few ATM's on Virgin Gorda.

Question

Do I need to call in advance for Taxi's?

Answer

We highly encourage everyone to use our list of vendors and schedule taxi's ahead of time. They can always accomodate day-of requests, but keep in mind they operate on island time so it's best to schedule in advance.

Question

What grocery store should I go to if I am staying in a Villa?

Answer

If you are staying in a villa, they typically have a provisioning service you can fill out prior to your trip, and your food will be waiting for you upon arrival. Otherwise, we suggest going to: Chef's Pantry - Leverick Bay Rite Way - Spanish Town Buck's Food Market - Spanish Town Please note this is an island, so often times the options are quite limited especially when it comes to fresh produce. If you are staying in a villa, we recommend using the provisioning service offered to ensure you get your first choice.

Question

What is the attire for the ceremony & reception?
