How much is a water taxi from soufriere to anse chastanet?

Otherwise, just opt for a land taxi, a water taxi, or rent a boat. A water taxi from Soufriere to Anse Chastanet costs about $30 one way and you can even set up a tour that includes stops at other beaches in this area.



A water taxi from Soufrière to Anse Chastanet typically costs between US20andUS40 per person for a round trip in 2026. Because these taxis are operated by independent local boatmen rather than a centralized company, prices are often negotiable and can vary based on the number of passengers in the boat. A one-way trip is usually around US$10 to $15. The journey is very short—approximately 10 to 15 minutes—but it is highly recommended because the road to Anse Chastanet is notoriously steep, unpaved, and difficult to navigate in a standard rental car. Taking a water taxi also provides a spectacular view of the Petit Piton as you pull away from the Soufrière docks. If you are a guest at the Anse Chastanet or Jade Mountain resorts, they sometimes provide their own shuttle boats for specific excursions, but for independent travelers, the "yellow boats" at the Soufrière waterfront are the standard way to reach the beach and its world-class snorkeling reefs without the bumpy drive.
