To reach Sint Eustatius by air, travellers must fly from Sint Maarten, a neighbouring Dutch Caribbean island that has flights available from Amsterdam and Paris as well as myriad locations in the US. Once safely in Sint Maarten, travellers can fly to Sint Eustatius in just 20 minutes.
Alternatively, you can access the island via regular ferry services from St Kitts with Makana Ferry Services, whose boats carry 149 passengers with both indoor and outdoor seating available. Not only is this form of travel reliable and affordable, but it also gives tourists the opportunity to see the sparkling waters of the island whilst convening with some of the locals and fellow travellers.
Once on solid ground, there are a plethora of car rental options for seeing all the delights of Sint Eustatius up close, with travellers only requiring a valid foreign or international driver’s license. However, be aware that the island has a limited road network that primarily follows the coast.
If you prefer to be a passenger princess, travellers can also rent a taxi for the day and be whisked around some of the island’s most memorable landmarks.
Alternatively, a vast network of hiking trails and walking paths allows you to immerse in the island’s flora and fauna and unique culture.
