Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car, start from any location in Saint Peter and head towards the main road, which is the Sir George Walter Highway (also known as the A1). Follow the signs to St. John's, the capital of Antigua. Once you reach St. John's, continue on the A1 until you see signs for Antigua. The drive should take about 30-40 minutes depending on traffic. Be aware of the local speed limits and road conditions, particularly if you're unfamiliar with driving in the Caribbean.

Public Transportation (Bus)

For those using public transportation, locate the nearest bus stop in Saint Peter. Look for buses heading to St. John's, as they frequently run throughout the day. Once you board the bus, inform the driver you're going to Antigua. The fare is approximately $2-3 EC (Eastern Caribbean dollars), payable in cash. The bus ride may take around 45 minutes to 1 hour. Upon arrival at the St. John's bus terminal, you will need to catch another bus or a taxi to reach specific attractions in Antigua.

Taxi

Taxis are a convenient option if you prefer a direct route to Antigua. You can hail a taxi from anywhere in Saint Peter. Make sure to negotiate the fare beforehand, as taxis in Antigua do not have meters. A trip to Antigua by taxi will typically cost around $30-50 EC, depending on your starting point and the time of day. The journey will take approximately 30 minutes. Ensure that the driver is familiar with the destination.

Combination of Bus and Ferry

If you are adventurous and want to experience more of the local scenery, consider taking a bus to a nearby ferry terminal that operates to Antigua. You would first take a bus from Saint Peter to the ferry terminal, which may take about 30 minutes. The ferry fare is typically around $50-70 EC for a round trip. The ferry ride will offer stunning views of the coastline and take approximately 1 hour to reach Antigua.
