The Lookout Bequia

How to get to Bequia

Practical route choices for travellers from the UK, US and Canada.

Back to the resource hub

Most journeys arrive first in St Vincent or Barbados, then continue by ferry or a regional flight to Bequia. The best connection depends on your departure city, travel date, luggage and appetite for a stopover. Check flights and ferries together before buying separate tickets.

Virgin Atlantic aircraft arriving in St Vincent

From the UK

Virgin Atlantic travels from London Heathrow to St Vincent three times per week, with a short touchdown in Barbados. From St Vincent, Chris & Lou will arrange your transfer to the Kingstown ferry port, where you will take a ferry to Bequia (a 40 to 60 minute hop depending on chosen boat). Another option which opens up many more flight operators is to fly to Barbados and connect via SVG Air.

From the US

American Airlines operates routes to St Vincent from US gateways, including Miami and New York, and JetBlue also has a New York option. Flight patterns change, so search the airline for your own dates. Once in St Vincent, continue to Bequia by ferry.

From Canada

Air Canada has a regular service from Toronto to St Vincent. Travellers from other Canadian cities may connect through Toronto or Barbados. Check the complete itinerary, arrival time and onward connection before confirming flights.

The final crossing

A ferry crossing the Bequia Channel

Bequia Express (1 hour) and Bequia Fast Ferries (40 mins) are the two operators who traverse the Bequia channel from the mainland. Regional air options include SVG Air & Mustique Airways with both shared & private charters from Barbados–Bequia (a 35min hop on a propeller plane). These services and timetables can change, and weather can affect travel. Leave sensible connection time and ask Chris and Lou for help arranging taxis at either end.

Routes and operator timetables can change. Check every leg with the provider before buying separate tickets; Chris and Lou can help arrange transfers once you share your confirmed arrival details.
