North America Guadeloupe Pointe-à-Pitre Tourist Information Taxi

Taxi

The guide was updated:
Taxis are widely available throughout Pointe-à-Pitre, especially around hotels, as well as at the airport. Many of them are metered (make sure they get used) or be sure to agree on a price beforehand to avoid headaches. Rates tend to be quite expensive on the island, so if you plan on doing a lot of moving around, you may prefer to rent a car.

Public Transport

Public Transport

There are two bus stations in Pointe-à-Pitre. The first is at Bergevin, in the north of the city, which routes to Basse-Terre. It has a ticket office and fixed timetables. The other station, in the southern district of La Darse, has service to destinations on Grande-Terre. Tickets here must be bought on the buses themselves as there is no ticket office. Transport can be slow, so if you're in a hurry it may be best to hire a car or take a taxi (though they can be pricey). There are also regular flights and ferries connecting Pointe-à-Pitre to the other islands of Guadeloupe.
