Getting To St Lucia By Air

St. Lucia is served by scheduled international and regional airline services. There are 2 airports: International services from North America and Europe operate to and from Hewanorra International Airport in the South of the island. Regional services (for the most part) operate to and from George Charles Airport in Castries in the northwest of the island. These two airports are about 45 minutes to 1 hour apart so if you are making connections between them, please allow for your transfer time. St. Lucia Helicopters offer a charter transfer service between the two airports, significantly cutting transfer times.

American Citizens and Citizens of the Commonwealth require proof of citizenship, a birth certificate or valid passport and a return or onward ticket. Other visitors require a valid passport plus a return or onward ticket. A few countries require visas – the St.Lucia Tourist Board will be able to give you further details about these.

By Sea

St. Lucia has a number of ports located primarily along the West Coast, and the island is a popular destination for cruise ships and cruisers (the annual Atlantic Rally for Cruisers or ARC finishes in St. Lucia).

L’Express Des Isles operates an 80-minute express catamaran ferry service between Castries in St. Lucia & Fort-de-France in Martinique. Cruise ships arrive daily at Port Castries and Soufriére. If you are arriving by in your own boat or by charter boat there are two main moorings available: Rodney Bay Marina and Castries Yacht Centre. There’s also one at Marigot Bay where you can avoid some of the congestion found at the other two.
