Nevis / Getting There

There are no direct flights to Nevis from outside the Caribbean, and this has contributed to the island’s relative inaccessibility which is one of the reasons that it retains its charm. Travellers thus need to make a connection from another island and the most obvious ones are St Kitts, Antigua, Puerto Rico or St Maarten. But connections are sometimes unreliable because of tight timings. This is particularly true in winter when time zones work against you.

International flights tend to arrive mid-afternoon and the onward leg leaves soon afterwards. It can be a tense turnaround, particularly if there is any delay on the international leg, so be prepared to abandon your luggage (it is best to check it through anyway). Make sure to carry a change of clothes and your swimming costume in your hand luggage.

Alternatively, those flying into St Kitts can take one of the ferries that operate to Nevis to complete their journey.
