Planes prove invaluable for getting around in the Virgin Islands

Virgin Island Itineraries

Getting around the Virgin Islands is easy. In fact, many air services travel not only within the U.S. or British Virgin Islands, but among all of them as well.

Travelers can climb aboard a charter plane and island hop across the Virgin Islands, and even into Puerto Rico. If ferry service isn't fast enough, it's easy to find companies that will fly you, whether in a plane or a helicopter.

The following carriers service the Virgin Islands:

The large number of air services connecting the Virgin Islands has made island hopping an accessible part of any vacation.
