Getting There
-
Taxi
From Port Antonio, taxis are readily available. A taxi ride to the Blue Lagoon typically takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. Agree on a fare before starting your journey; expect to pay around JMD 2,500 - JMD 3,500. The route generally follows the main coastal road eastwards, offering scenic views along the way.
-
Public Transport
Local route taxis (minibuses) also run from Port Antonio towards the Blue Lagoon. These are a more budget-friendly option, costing around JMD 200-300 per person.
