Entry Requirements:

US and Canadian visitors must show a passport or a birth certificate and photo ID as well as an onward or return ticket.

Getting Around:

Taxi travel is the most common means of transportation, especially for couples not comfortable with driving on the left side of the road. Taxi fares from the St. John's area to Nelson Dockyard on the far side of the island run about US $50 round trip.
Rental cars are available; a temporary Antiguan driver's license is required. We found that some roads are a little bumpy, and that a full tank of gas (as well as a spare tire) is recommended for visitors traveling away from the major destinations.
