Soft adventures: Island hopping

Sometimes you take the ferry, sometimes you need the aeroplane and sometimes the next connection is via Uncle Sammy's or Toto Albert's fishing boat - because there is no other reasonable connection. Depending on the British, French or Dutch past and connection to the respective European nations.

Ferry connections: From island to island

The islands of Guadeloupe by ferry

 Antigua - Barbuda - (Montserrat) 

The two islands of Antigua and Barbuda are connected several times a day by a 90-minute high-speed ferry. Discover the cultural sights, e.g. Antigua's island capital St Johns or Nelson Harbour with Shirley Heights and enjoy the beautiful beaches of Barbuda. Unfortunately, the ferry to the island of Montserrat is not running at the moment.

We recommend the direct flight with KLM-AF from Amsterdam.
