Getting There

Walking
The Bubbly Pool is accessible via a walking trail from Foxy's Taboo on Jost Van Dyke. From Foxy's Taboo, head out of the gate in the northwest corner of the yard and follow the well-worn path. The hike takes about 10-15 minutes. The path leads up a small hill, with ropes to assist if needed, and then to the left through a grove of Turks Head cactus. Look for blue dashes painted on trees to guide you. Be aware of the Manchineel tree, which is poisonous. There are no entrance fees or transportation costs associated with this final approach.
-
Taxi
From Great Harbour or Little Harbour, take a taxi to Foxy's Taboo. From there, follow the walking directions to the Bubbly Pool. Taxi fares vary depending on the starting point; expect to pay around $15-$20 for a short trip. Confirm the fare with the driver before departing. Then follow the walking directions to the Bubbly Pool.
