About this route

From Gustavia to Colombier, our take

From Gustavia to Colombier is about 12 minutes. The taxi drops you at the cliff trailhead, and from there a coastal path takes you 20 minutes down to the most isolated beach on the island.

Out of Gustavia, we count around 35 euros for this ride during the day, plus 5 euros after 6:30pm or on Sundays, and 10 euros between midnight and 6am. The drive itself takes about 12 minutes when traffic flows. Friday afternoons and Sunday brunch hours can slow things down a little.

Worth knowing: hotels like Eden Rock, Cheval Blanc and Le Toiny all maintain their own driver networks. If you are staying at one, the concierge can usually get you a car faster than calling around. We still recommend keeping our WhatsApp number in your phone as a backup.

Send our concierge a WhatsApp message even at 1am. We can usually find a driver willing to do a late run, with the night surcharge included in the quote upfront.

Can we share a taxi with other passengers from Gustavia?

Taxis on the island are private rides, not shared services. If you are with friends going to the same area, splitting one ride is straightforward. Past 4 passengers, ask for a van — most companies operate them.

There are, but fewer cars are on duty. Sunday and holiday rides include the standard 5 euro surcharge. We always book ahead for Sunday transport.
