About this route

From Gustavia to St-Jean, our take

From Gustavia to St-Jean is a quick ride over the hill, about 6 minutes. St-Jean has the island's busiest beach, the airport, and a cluster of shops and beachfront restaurants.

Out of Gustavia, we count around 30 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 6 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.

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.
