Travelling to Antigua and Barbuda By Sea

Cruise ships dock at St. John's Harbour and Heritage Quay. Both are easily accessible from the capital city and are not far from the lovely beaches and water sports either. Crabbs Marina in the northeast, English Harbour and St. James' club, both in the south, and St. John's Harbour in the west coast are the points of entry for private boats.

Getting Around Antigua

Taxis

Taxis are easily available in Antigua. You can obtain the fares between several destinations after arriving, and most of these rates are fixed. Taxi drivers are often qualified to double as tour guides and can show you around. Tour rates are available at hotels or you can obtain them earlier too.

Sample taxi fares

From V.C. Bird International Airport to:

Nelsons Dockyard: US$21
Shirley Heights: US$21
St. John's: US$7

Buses

Schedules and routes of local bus services can be obtained through the hotels.

Rental Cars

This is perhaps the best way to discover all that Antigua has to offer. Rental cars cost around US$40-50 per day. You will have to show the agency a valid driver's license from your country of residence, an international driver's license, and a permit to drive in Antigua. This can be obtained with the help of the rental agency. It costs around US$20, with a validity of three months.

Don't forget - drive on the left side of the road in Antigua!
