HOW TO MAKE IT THERE
Travel Information
AIR TRAVEL
Airport - There are two airports on the island: Hewanorra International (UVF) is located in the southern region and George F. L. Charles (SLU) is located in the northern region. Research has shown that flying in to UVF is cheaper and has more options. That being said, UVF is roughly an hour and 10 minute drive to the Marriott Hotel in the North, as opposed to 15 minutes from SLU.
Airlines - Delta Airlines and American Airlines have the best options. Most flights from Central or Western US will have a layover. This is because all flights will connect somewhere on the east coast. Prepare for long travel days as well as arriving in the afternoon, unless you are flying in from the east coast. Monitoring prices as soon as possible is recommended.

Taxi - Taxis are easily available at taxi stands or by telephone. All authorized taxis have a light blue number plate with a TX prefix. Fares vary by destination, the number of people, amount of luggage and the company. Before you hire a taxi, confirm the fare. Some of the major taxi services on the island include Saint Lucia Taxi Service, Saint Lucia Airport Transfers, Saint Lucia Executive, Saint Lucia Airport Shuttle, Real Saint Lucia Tours, and many more.
Bus - Minibuses serve as the main means of Saint Lucia transportation for local residents. These buses run at various times depending on the route. Fares range from EC$2.50 to EC$8.00. All minibuses have a green number plate with an M prefix. Traveling by bus is a good option for visitors who wish to experience the island’s culture up close.
Helicopter - Helicopter transfers are a great option for those who want to spend a little more money to get to their destination faster. While a taxi or bus ride can take up to 2.5 hours, the helicopter ride generally takes about 20 minutes. St. Lucia Helicopters looks to be a great service you can use on the island. Please do your own research before booking.
Ferry - FunToSee Island Water Ferry provides an exceptional transfer service (water taxi) between Hewanorra Airport and luxury resorts on the northwest side of the island. For more information, visit www.funtoseeisland.com
