Exiting the airport building itself, you will be faced with a typical International airport vision of anxious faces waving cards with names, hotels or rental car companies on them.

Another option for transport is to take a shared van to a major town or destination.

By far the most popular – and so the most numerous vans – is to the ancient city of Antigua. If you are staying in Antigua before you travel to the coast, this is a viable and economical way to do it.

The cost is between $5-20 depending on how well you negotiate (I would target $10 so everyone feels good !), and the vans will accommodate up to 13 passengers. They will take you directly to your accommodation, or at least very close to it.

The drive to Antigua is just over an hour through the mountains and up into the volcanoes (not literally!)

If all else fails, the "Chicken Bus" is cheap and gets you there (some of the time.............but call us first!)
