Virgin Gorda is a relatively small island, and you can drive from one end to the other in less than 30 minutes! Most of our wedding events will take place around the beautiful North Sound area, so you won't have to venture too far. Want to explore the island? Renting a car is a great option if you want to spend a day exploring The Baths, checking out beaches, or visiting some of the island's restaurants! Rental cars can even be dropped off and picked up right where you're staying. If you're interested, reach out to Trudi at trudi@bestofbvi.com and she'll help get you set up! Prefer to take a taxi? Taxis are easy to arrange, and most drivers use WhatsApp for calls and messages. Here are a few local drivers we recommend: Keon (our driver for White Night at CocoMaya): +1 (284) 544-0689 Toots Taxi Service: +1 (284) 544-2620 Sweet Ice Willy: +1 (284) 544-8073 One thing to keep in mind: Virgin Gorda is VERY hilly, and many roads are narrow and winding, so even places that look close on a map aren't always walkable! (and drive on the left side of the road ;)
