Bequia is a laid-back, untouched paradise. The real Caribbean.
And it's more accessible than you may think, with direct flights to the neighbouring island of St. Vincent from the UK, US, & Canada.
There is also the option of taking the extra hop on a flight from the main tourist hubs of Barbados, St. Lucia, or Grenada, with a flight time of around 30 minutes. This also opens up the possibility of a twin-centre Caribbean vacation.
This short journey will take you away from big-scale resorts, shopping malls, noisy traffic & beaches full of tourists......to an island of natural splendour with friendly & welcoming people, swaying palms, idyllic beaches, lush green hillsides and a simple, unhurried lifestyle.
1. Fly direct from the UK, US or Canada into St.Vincent. Then take the ferry crossing into beautiful Bequia. The fast ferry takes just 35 mins, the slow ferry takes 1 hour. Simple!
2. Fly direct from Barbados or St. Lucia to Bequia with SVG Air or Mustique Airways (same day connections available, so you can get all your travelling done in one go). The flight takes just 30 minutes if direct or up to an hour if the pilot does some island hopping on route. But fear not as a longer flight may be compensated by a spectacular birds-eye view of the Grenadines island chain including the idyllic Tobago Cays. Worth the air fare alone!
3. Fly to St. Vincent with Virgin, LIAT, or Inter Caribbean from Barbados, Grenada, or St. Lucia in just 30 minutes, re-charge with an overnight stay and then catch the morning ferry into Bequia – a relaxed 1hr crossing. Get your camera ready for the arrival into Admiralty Bay! If you do choose to stay overnight in St. Vincent before heading over to Bequia, then please do not hesitate to ask us about our St Vincent accommodation recommendations.
The tourism website link provides all the up to date & comprehensive information you will need to plan your path to Bequia.
1. Sit on the right-hand side of the plane on the SVG flight from Barbados to Bequia. If it’s going direct you will have the view of the entire island of Bequia as you arrive. If it has a stop at Union island on route then you will get an awesome view of the Tobago cays as well as other Grenadine islands like Mayreau & Canouan – an experience that is surely worth the air fare alone!
2. When opting for a same day connection to an SVG flight into Bequia, the process is really hassle-free. We recommend that you tie a yellow ribbon onto your luggage and take a photo before leaving home. On arrival at Barbados, you will feel very special indeed. An airport staff member will hold up a board with your name & take you through to a private area of the airport. Show them a picture of your luggage and they will personally take it from the international flight you have just disembarked from and place it on the SVG plane bound for Bequia. Then you will be escorted with all other passengers to the plane itself. You will feel like a rock star & it’s all part of the service!
