TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums British Virgin Islands Coco Maya and immigration system

Hi everyone! We are almost packed, and we leave in a few days - nothing like pre-trip excitement, so I hope you are headed down relatively soon.

Anyway, we haven't been going to Coco Maya in recent years, and we want to this year. In the past, we have rented a car at Leverick and driven ourselves. However, we plan to spend the day in the Baths area, so I'm wondering about Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour. I've also wondered how hard it is to access Coco Maya from Bitter End. I've read on here that Bitter End will arrange the boat shuttle and taxi, but how difficult is this and is it a long process? Thank you for any feedback!

Also, we entered our immigration information this evening and learned something. The system says it will take a pdf image for your passport, but it wouldn't take it tonight. We ultimately had to convert to a JPEG image, and then the system worked fine. To the right, you can preview the image that you submit. If you get an error when you click the image preview, then you get an error at the end when you submit the whole application, and you have to start all over - ugh! I hope this helps!

If you will be down over the next few weeks, look for a Moorings 46 PC flying NC State and East Carolina flags - we'd love to meet you!

Safe travels my friend....go Pirates

Thank you, Rob! I hope we catch you again in the islands at some point. All the best!

Coco Maya is maybe a half mile walk from VGYH. If it's dark you might want to bring a flashlight and wave it around a little so drivers see you (but don't point it at their eyes). If you don't feel like walking, there are (in my experience) always taxi drivers hanging around the parking lot at VGYH. And even if you walk to the restaurant you might want to catch a taxi back.

Thank you Dan!
