Island Guide

Everything you need to know before hitting the road — top destinations, driving tips, and local secrets.

Top Destinations

Curated drives worth every kilometre.

North Coast Beaches

45 min from capital

Crystal-clear waters and white sand stretches. Best visited early morning to beat the crowds. The coastal road winds through fishing villages with fresh seafood stops along the way.

Tip: Fill up before heading out — fuel stations are sparse past the junction.

Mountain Interior

1 hr 20 min

Lush rainforest, waterfalls, and panoramic lookout points. The road gains significant elevation — our SUV and 4×4 fleet handles it comfortably year-round.

Tip: Bring a light jacket. Temperatures drop noticeably above 800 m.

Historic Old Town

15 min from airport

Colonial architecture, local markets, and the island's best rum distillery tour. Streets are narrow; compact cars are the practical choice here.

Tip: Paid parking is available at the market square — free on Sundays.

Southern Salt Flats

55 min

Otherworldly pink-hued lagoons and flamingo colonies. Sunrise visits are spectacular. The access track is gravel but well-maintained.

Tip: Visit at golden hour for the best colours and photos.

Driving on the Island

A few essentials to keep your trip smooth and safe.

Drive on the left

Traffic follows left-hand driving. Give yourself a few minutes at the start of each journey to settle in, especially at roundabouts.

Speed limits

30 km/h in towns, 60 km/h on rural roads, 90 km/h on the main expressway. Speed cameras are active on the expressway.

Rain season (June – November)

Afternoon showers are common. Roads can flood quickly in low-lying areas. Check the forecast before heading into the interior.

Road stops

Local rum shops double as rest stops with cold drinks and snacks. They are friendly, welcoming, and worth the pause.
