St. Thomas Airport - Bolongo Bay: Private transfer with local

Summary

Easy airport pickup in St. Thomas & a relaxed ride to Bolongo Bay

You’ll be met right at St. Thomas airport by a local driver who’ll help with bags and get you settled into an air-conditioned car for your private transfer to Bolongo Bay or Limetree Resort. Along the way you’ll catch glimpses of the waterfront and cruise port, maybe hear a story or two from your driver — it’s an easy start to your trip that feels personal in ways you’ll remember long after landing.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the driver’s wave — not rushed, just kind of casual, like he’d been waiting for us but wasn’t in any hurry. We’d barely stepped out of the airport and there he was, holding a little sign with my name (which honestly made me feel more important than I am). The air outside was thick and salty, but inside the van it was cool enough that my glasses fogged up for a second. He asked if we wanted music or quiet, which I appreciated because sometimes you just want to zone out after a flight, you know?

We passed by the waterfront on our way to Bolongo Bay — you get these quick flashes of cruise ships and ferries through the windows, all bright colors and people waving even though they don’t know you. Our driver, Marcus, pointed out where the ferry leaves for St. John and told us about his cousin who works at one of the docks (I think half the island is related somehow). He offered to stop if we needed groceries or anything — said it’s no trouble, just let him know next time if we want to add a shopping stop. I didn’t expect that part.

The drive itself isn’t long — maybe 20 minutes? But it felt like its own little intro to St. Thomas: palm trees flickering past, someone selling fruit by the road, Marcus laughing when my partner tried to pronounce “Limetree” with an island accent (we failed). There’s something about arriving this way that makes you feel less like a tourist and more like someone being welcomed home, even if it’s your first time here.
