Your complete guide to getting around Roseau - from airport transfers to local transport

Getting Around Roseau

Roseau moves on shared minibuses that weave through town on set routes, cheap, frequent, and the way locals get around. They leave from the riverside terminal by the Old Market and stop anywhere along the main coastal road. Just flag one down and pay the conductor. Taxis cluster at the cruise-ship pier and outside the market, moderate for short hops, a splurge if you're crossing the island. No ride-hailing apps operate here, so negotiate the fare before you climb in. For the airport run, the minibuses don't serve Douglas-Charles, so your choices are a pre-arranged shuttle (booked through your hotel or the booking widget below) or the taxi rank outside arrivals. The shuttle is a fraction of a taxi and usually timed to meet the bigger flights. If you skip it, agree on the fare up front, there's no meter.

Quick Transportation Tips

Flag down route vans marked 'Roseau-Castle Comfort' or 'Roseau-Portsmouth' along Valley Road. This is the local minibus system. Use it for island travel. Cheap, fast, and always packed with locals.

Taxi fares from Roseau Ferry Terminal to downtown are typically EC$15-20. Confirm price before entering. Meters aren't used. Negotiate. Pay cash.

The Roseau City Shuttle loops between the cruise ship berth and downtown every 15 minutes during ship days. Look for the blue minivans. They run like clockwork when ships are in.

Walk the 10-minute seaside path from Roseau to Windsor Park stadium. Skip the taxi. It's faster than driving during rush hour traffic. Plus, the ocean breeze is free.
