Getting there from Cyril E. King Airport
The island has no airport. From Cyril E. King Airport (STT) on St. Thomas, it is about 30 to 45 minutes by road to the Red Hook ferry dock, then about 20 minutes by passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. From Cruz Bay, the drive to Concordia takes about 30 minutes or more, so a rental car is the easiest way to get around. There is no airport shuttle.
Book your transfer to the Red Hook ferry in advance so a driver meets you at arrivals and takes you straight to the dock.
