Barbuda Getting there & around

Getting around

Barbuda has no public transportation, but distances are too great and the dusty dirt roads too hot to make walking a practical means of exploring. Barbuda also has a reputation for tours that fail to materialize, drivers that don’t show up at the airport or some other missing link. Confirm all reservations.

You should be able to arrange to hire someone to drive you around for about US$20 per hour – inquire at your lodgings. Some drivers may meet the morning plane. Among the several locals who will drive you, try the owner of the Green Door Tavern, Byron Askie (460-0164). He also rents out a car for US$50 per day. Eric Burton (460-0465) has a 32-seater bus for hire; both men will act as driver and tour guide, if needed. Other locals also organise tours.
