Navigate your way to and around Anguilla effortlessly with our definitive guide on transportation options, from international flights to local commuting.
Getting to Anguilla
By Air: The primary gateway to Anguilla is Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport (AXA). This is a small airport and usually doesn't handle large international flights. Most travelers fly into Princess Juliana International Airport in St. Maarten (SXM) and then take a short ferry or a smaller flight to Anguilla.
By Sea: Regular ferries operate between St. Maarten and Anguilla, and the journey usually takes about 25–30 minutes. Private boat charters are also available.
Transfers: Some hotels and resorts offer transfers as part of their service, which may include a combination of car and ferry rides.
Getting Around Anguilla
Car Rentals: Renting a car is one of the most convenient ways to explore the island. Keep in mind that driving is on the left-hand side of the road in Anguilla.
Taxis: Taxis are widely available and are a popular way to get around, particularly for short distances or if you prefer not to drive. Rates are generally fixed but can be expensive for longer journeys.
Public Buses: Public transportation is limited, and while there are some minibuses that operate, they are not particularly convenient for tourists.
Bicycles: In some areas, particularly near the resorts, it's possible to rent bicycles, though the island's hilly terrain might make this a challenging option for some.
Walking: While walking is always an option, the island's spread-out layout and hot climate make it less practical for getting around in general.
Boat Services: For travel to offshore cays and activities like diving or fishing, boat services are available.
