Planes, Trains Boats, and Autos...The first recommendation
is to work with Margi Levy on any of your travel needs.

etc.

Flights
to STX:
Alternative
Flights:
You can
also sometimes fly into hubs such as San Juan, or even
St. Thomas, and then get over to St. Croix.
This page
on St.
Croix tourism has an extensive list of puddle jumpers
and other options.
Flights
such as Seaborne
airlines can be a fun and different way to travel,
if you want a little adventure. The nice thing is, you
can fly into San Juan (SJU), take a taxi to Old San Juan
(20 minutes, $20 approximately), where you can catch the
sea plane. The sea plane will literally arrive on the
boardwalk of Christiansted, about 100 meters from the
Holger Danske Hotel.
***NOTE:
If you choose this option, note that your luggage weight
on these planes is significantly less than 'normal' commercial
flights. Check website for details. |

Car
Rentals
If you
are staying in Christiansted, you can walk almost anywhere.
For the big events (wedding, beach party) we will have
transportation available for people.
A car
rental can be fun to explore the island, but probably
not needed for the entire time you are in St. Croix if
you are staying in Christiansted. Remember a few warnings
about rental cars in St. Croix:
- St. Croix drives on the left side of the road. This
is especially tricky for right side drivers after
a couple 'Cruzan Confusions" from the local bartender.
- Navigating the island can be confusing, misleading,
and tricky.
- Don't get mad when the road signs are either wrong,
or non-existent. Lower your expectations...
- Drinks are poured on island with two heavy hands.
- It's nice to use taxis... they are available in
Christiansted most anytime.
- Parking in Christiansted can be a pain.
That being said, here are some recommendations outside
the normal Expedia/Orbitz/Travelocity seearch if you do
want to rent a car:
- Centerline
Car Rental Local agency that usually
offers better rates, and has a good reputation on
island.
- Margi
(mentioned above) also has connections to discounted
rates.
Taxis
Taxis
from the airport are available. Usually $10-$15 per person
to get to Christiansted is the normal fare. You can generally
always find a taxi once in Christiansted, should you wish
to get to somewhere outside of town.
