Overview

Tortola has stories most visitors never hear.

This self-guided audio and walking tour through the heart of Road Town brings them to life — at your own pace, on your own phone, with no guide and no fixed time.

14 stops. Three centuries of history. The prison where you could be jailed for stealing a mango. The well that witnessed emancipation. The Governor's House frozen in colonial time. Hurricane Irma. The Arawaks who were here before anyone.

Download the free Actionbound app before you arrive, enter your tour code/use the QR, and you're ready.

Works offline — no roaming charges. At each stop, photo and video challenges build into a personalised album delivered to your inbox after the walk.

Oh — and you get the original Painkiller recipe.

Road Town

️Ready to walk, learn, and sip your way through Road Town? Our self-guided smartphone tour takes you deep into the stories that shaped the British Virgin Islands—from resistance and resilience to rhythm, rum, and real island flavour! Meet artisans at the colourful Crafts Alive Market, and stand at the Sunday Morning Well—where it is said the emancipation of slaves in 1834 was delcared. Step inside Her Majesty’s Prison to hear dramatic stories from the past. Sip a legendary Painkiller™ cocktail (we share the recipe!) and trace the roots of island journalism and the Island Sun Newspaper. From tropical gardens to grand colonial relics reclaimed by a proud, independent people, this tour blends reflection, fun, and discovery. Go at your own pace, take photos along the way, and finish with a digital album full of memories. Perfect for culture lovers, pirate enthusiasts and curious wanderers, all with a splash of rum!
