Travel - Internal

AIR: Local and charter services are available. Small planes can be chartered for inter-island travel. Mustique Air, SVG Air and TIA run regular services to the Grenadines.

SEA: Yacht chartering is easily arranged and one of the best ways to explore the Grenadines. Yachts can be hired locally, with or without crew. Two ferries make frequent sailings to Bequia (travel time – 60 minutes). The rest of the Grenadines are served regularly by a mailboat. The Tourist Office can help with all details.

ROAD: Traffic drives on the left. Bus: Services run regularly throughout St Vincent. Small minibuses run a shared route-taxi service with a standard fare anywhere along the route. Public transport is cheap but crowded. Taxi: These are shared and charge standard rates (fixed by the Government). Car hire: Easily arranged through a number of national and international firms. Documentation: A local driving licence is essential and can be obtained on presentation of a valid national or international licence either at the airport or at the police station in Bay Street, Kingstown, or at the Licensing Authority in Halifax Street, Kingstown (Mon-Fri 0900-1500). The cost is around EC$75.
