 | Grenada Transportation | Tips 1 - 10 of 23 |  |
Popular Transportation | Miscellaneous Transportation Tips | All Tips (23) I'm probably wrong about this, but I can't recall any busses at all at Grenada. Easiest for us, when we wanted to go somewhere on land, was to take a taxi. There are both normal cabs, and then those big mini vans. Most of them sure doesn't look very modern, but they will take you wherever you want to go.
Roads aren't so good that you can go fast anyway, so just sit back an enjoy the ride with the taxi. As the island is a lot up and down you'll get some great views of the coast as soon as you go uphill for a while.
Prices aren't very cheap, but not expensive either. For the ride from the airport to our hotel outside Saint George's we paid 25 US dollar (for nine persons) which also would have been cheaper if we just had had some EC dollar instead. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Airport: Point Salines International Airport, is five minutes

The best and cheapest Transportation is the public Mini Bus !
Our Buses drive around the entire island.
It's a lot of fun, because as you drive, you are entertained by typical Caribbean music.On the buses, you will meet some of the friendliest and most helpful people in the entire Caribbean.
LOCAL BUS:
The bus stops wherever it is needed. They drive regularly from Grand Anse to St. George's. The drive takes about 5 minutes, and costs only $ 1. EC per person.
In St. George's, the capital, there are several bus stands where you can find buses to different parts of the island.
It may seem a little bit hard to find the bus you need for your location because they are no bus signs, but all you have to do is ask our friendly people for directions. The drive that takes the most time, is the one to the town of Sauteurs, which is on the north coast of the island.
It is also the most expensive of all the trips and costs $ 5. EC. The buses drive regularly on weekdays, from 7.00 am to 7.00 pm. After regular hours, the buses charge higher rates.
Water Taxis:
These are colorful small wooden motorboats that run between the Grand Anse beach and St.George's harbor . It is a fast, fun way to get from the town to the Grand Anse Beach, even if
occasionally you may get a little damp.
The cost to Grand Anse one way US$ 2.00 per person.
The Water Taxis can normally be found on the Carenage in town. They are only on the beach when there is a cruise ship in the harbor.
Taxis:
There are Hotel / Airport taxis which have fixed rates.
Airport - Grand Anse US$ 10.00
Grand Anse - St. George's for up to 4. Pers US$ 10.00
Private Tour US$ 17.00 the hour
After 6.00 PM + US$ 4.00
The Street taxis provide good service, but it is a good idea to first find out how much they charge for the trip before entering the vehicle.
As you can see, the bus is the cheapest method of transportation for most purposes, but occasionally, you may need to take a taxi. Theme: Ship/Boat
