Water Taxis - Castries to Anse Chastanet?

[sakigemcam]

Hello - IF we can travel on our own when on St Lucia, we would really like to go to Anse Chastanet. I understand it may be most efficient to take a water taxi rather than drive over an hour. Is this accurate?

 

If so - do we taxi Castries to Soufriere then Soufriere to Anse Chastanet?

Are the taxis reliable and in good supply? Can you reserve?

Any idea the approximate costs?

 

Thank you.

Never heard of a water taxi doing the trip.

The cost each way could be over US$100.00, with a travel time 1.25 to 1.50 hours, but wait for Reed Princess to Login and reply with her up to date information.

This was the beach I was thinking of heading to for snorkeling. I haven’t seen it mentioned much here so far. Is there a reason for that?  Thanks.

Assuming it’s the travel time ☺️

Anse Chastenet is mentioned quite frequently when it comes to questions about where to snorkel on island 

As you can see from posts above, it's approximately 75-90 minutes by land from port, and 40-50 by boat.

Loads of tours that include a stop at AC for snorkeling.

Expect to pay around $80-90usd one way for land, around 3xs that for water taxi .
