HOW TO GET TO BEQUIA
Bequia is one of the Grenadine Islands located in the country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Most of the charm of Bequia lies in the fact that it’s lesser-known and not heavily touristic. However, since the island’s population and tourism industry is relatively small, you’ll have to make sure you plan your transportation to and from the island accordingly.
We’ve mapped out a few different ways for you to reach us.
Plane & Ferry via St. Vincent
If you’re looking for a less expensive — more adventurous — option, we recommend flying to St. Vincent and taking the ferry over to Bequia.
The airport that you would fly into on St. Vincent is called the Argyle International Airport (AIA). This is actually the newest international airport in the Eastern Caribbean.
There are scheduled international flights multiple times a week from Miami via American Airlines, from New York City via Caribbean Airlines, and from Toronto via Air Canada and from London via Virgin Atlantic.
In addition, there are daily inter-island flights from several nearby Caribbean Islands like Trinidad, Grenada, St Lucia, Barbados, and others via InterCaribbean Airlines, Caribbean Airlines, and Conviasa.
From the airport, you’ll take a 30-minute taxi ride to the ferry terminal in the capital, Kingstown. Taxis are ready and waiting for you no matter what time you land in St. Vincent.
This option needs to be planned with the ferry schedule in mind as the last ferry departs to Bequia at 6 p.m. The schedules for the St. Vincent – Bequia ferry service can be found here.
Plane Only via St. Lucia or Barbados
This is the easiest, most hassle-free way to get to the island, however it is also a significantly more expensive option, then flying to St Vincent and ferry to Bequia.
Many visitors arrive at our small island by flying through either Barbados Airport (BGI) or St. Lucia Airport (UVF) with flight connections directly to Bequia Airport (BQU) via SVG Air, Mustique Airways, or Grenadines Air Alliance.
Please note that these small inter-island airlines do not participate in international reservations systems, so you have to contact them directly to arrange your flights.
