Travel Tips
Book Flights in Advance**: Start by checking flights from Scarborough to Saint Vincent, as there are no direct flights to Bequia. Use flight comparison websites to find the best deals. Booking 2-3 months ahead can often yield better prices.
Plan Your Transfers**: Once you arrive in Saint Vincent, you'll need to take a ferry to Bequia. The ferry service operates regularly, but check the schedule in advance to avoid long waits. Consider booking your ferry ticket online to secure a spot, especially during peak travel seasons.
Timing is Key**: Allow plenty of time for connections—especially if traveling by ferry after your flight. Factor in potential delays, and aim for at least a 3-4 hour layover between your flight arrival and ferry departure.
Pack Smart**: Be mindful of your luggage, as ferry services may have weight restrictions. Opt for a soft-sided suitcase or a travel backpack for easier handling. Don’t forget essentials like swimwear and sunscreen, as Bequia’s beach culture awaits!
Check Border Requirements**: If you're traveling from Scarborough, ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date. Check if you need a visa for Saint Vincent or Bequia, depending on your nationality. Ensure you have any necessary travel documents ready for smooth border crossings.
