Getting Around:
-
Taxis are the easiest way to get around. They typically charge per person and many of them are cash only. Taxis can take you to ALMOST every place on the island. The Taxi Association Phone Number is 340-774-7457.
-
Car Rental - Driving can be an adventure in the territory, but if you are up to it, there are several big name car rental agencies in and around the airport (Hertz, Avis, Budget). There is also Discount Car Rental (340-776-4858) and Amalie Car Rental (340-774-0688).
-
Safari Bus - With no set schedule, but only $2, these local open air safaris take people from Brewers Beach to Red Hook, stopping only at the main commercial areas of the island. They do not go to any beach but Brewers, and stop running at dusk. They can be found on the waterfront stopping at the blue stands with a red roof.
-
Ferries - There are 3 ferries to St. John; the Town Ferry (Blyden Terminal), the Red Hook Ferry and the Car Ferry. Departures for the Town Ferry are limited, but the Red Hook Ferry runs generally every hour and runs late until about 11pm. The Water Island Ferry leaves on a regular schedule from Crown Bay to Water Island. Ferries to the BVI's are from the Blyden Terminal and Red Hook and have regular departures daily, but do require a passport.
