If you are arriving at Hewanorra International airport in the south and staying in the north of St. Lucia please consider taking the helicopter transfer.  It costs 120 US dollars per person and whisks you over the island to the Castries airport in about 10 - 15 minutes.  Apart from the fantastic views and a great way to orientate yourself with the island, you get to Castries/Rodney Bay area at least 2 hours before anyone else from your plane - and believe me they will be having a nightmare trip round the hairpin bends and the mountains along bad bumpy roads after their long flights. The link to website is www.stluciahelicopters.com. Lots of people have asked in the forums about this and everyone who has done it recommends it and we found it well worth the cost .

 Use Ernest Felix Clearview Tourist Service 1-758-719-0494 for Taxi & Guide, can't say enough about how great he was. He knew everything about the island. It was such a pleaure. -Erica
