Maritime transport is conducted by regular shuttles (ferry boats) between Saint Vincent and the island of Bequia (every day) and the islands of Canouan, Union and Mayreau (three times a week).

Local airlines propose regular and chartered flights between Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The airport of Saint Vincent is the largest of the archipelago, Bequia, Mustique and Union also dispose of an airport, though rather small, but the airport of Palm Island is entirely private.

The islands are close to each other, it is thus easy and inexpensive to take a day trip to any of them. Daily links are provided by Iguana Beach boats between Saint Francois and Marie Galante, the Saints and this is by far the most practical option to consider for a day trip. You don’t need to pass by Pointe a Pitre, which will save you considerable time and money.

Long-haul flights arriving from the United States (American Airlines, Continental Airlines, US Air) or Europe (Air France, Corsair, KLM) land at Juliana Airport in Dutch Saint Martin, at Pointe-a-Pitre airport on Guadeloupe or Saint Thomas in the Virgin Islands.
