You’ll breeze through UVF airport with a friendly local rep guiding you past long lines straight to your private driver—cold Piton beer in hand and island breeze through open windows. Enjoy snacks and stories on your way to any resort on St Lucia, feeling welcomed before you even unpack. It’s an easy start that sets the tone for your whole stay.
Ever landed somewhere new and just wanted to get out of the airport as fast as possible? That was me at Hewanorra International Airport in St Lucia — tired, a bit sticky from the flight, and honestly dreading those long immigration lines. But right after we stepped off the plane, there was this smiling woman holding a sign with my name (I always feel awkward waving back). She whisked us past what looked like an endless queue; I caught a few jealous glances. The whole “fast track” thing isn’t just talk — we were through customs in less than ten minutes. My partner kept nudging me like, is this for real?
Our driver, Marcus, met us outside with cold Piton beers (I’d never tried it before — light and kind of citrusy) and water for the road. He asked if we wanted music or just quiet, which felt surprisingly considerate after all that airplane noise. The van smelled faintly of coconut sanitizer (COVID certified vehicles, he explained), but not overpowering. I remember the windows were down for a while — humid air but fresh, with hints of sea salt as we wound away from UVF toward our hotel on the other side of St Lucia. Marcus pointed out little things along the way: mango trees heavy with fruit, schoolkids in blue uniforms waving at traffic. We snacked on plantain chips he’d stashed in the backseat; maybe not fancy but hit the spot.
I didn’t expect to feel so relaxed so quickly — usually I’m tense until I see my suitcase in my room. But something about being greeted by locals who actually seemed happy to see us (not just doing their job) made it different. If you’re thinking about booking a day trip or transfer from UVF airport, I can say this: skipping those lines is worth every cent if you want to start your vacation mood early. Also: don’t try pronouncing Gros Islet before hearing a local say it first — Marcus laughed when I tried.
