Located in the Eastern Caribbean, St. Lucia is a beautiful island nation known for its breathtaking natural scenery and rich cultural heritage. Upon landing at St. Lucia’s Hewanorra International Airport, a couple of convenient transportation options are available to reach the island’s capital, Castries. The road distance from St. Lucia Airport to Castries is about 53 km.
For your St. Lucia Airport to Castries transfer, one of the quickest and most convenient options is to take a taxi. A taxi from Hewanorra Airport to Castries costs around €75 (XCD 216) and takes around 1 hour and 10 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. If you are on a budget and have more flexibility with your schedule, there are also public bus services available, at a cost of around €9 (XCD 25), but the drivers operate different routes, make stops in different locations and only leave when their vehicle has filled up, thus they are not as reliable.

Whether you choose to take a taxi or a public minibus, the transportation from St. Lucia Airport to your hotel in Castries will be easy and hassle-free, ensuring that your island vacation starts off properly!
