Know more about traveling from Five Islands Village
The airport is roughly 14 km (8.5 miles) away, and the drive typically takes around 25 to 35 minutes depending on traffic. The road passes through St. John's, so having a private driver who knows the island means you skip the confusion of navigating an unfamiliar route and arrive relaxed, ready to explore.
A focused half-day gets you to Deep Bay and Fort Barrington comfortably. A full day lets you move between the four beaches at Hawksbill Bay, snorkel the Andes wreck, hike to the fort, and still have time for a meal. Because the peninsula is compact and attractions are close together, you spend your time experiencing things rather than travelling between them.
Public transport to the peninsula is limited and infrequent, which makes independent exploration genuinely difficult. A private Daytrip driver solves this cleanly: you travel directly from your starting point, your driver waits while you explore, and you leave when you are ready rather than adapting to a bus schedule. For a destination this spread out across beaches and hiking trails, door-to-door private transport is by far the most practical way to make the most of your time here.
Fort Barrington is the standout non-beach attraction. The British-built fort dates to 1779 and sits atop Goat Hill on the edge of the peninsula. The hike up is short but steep, and the reward is a sweeping view over St. John's Harbour and the open Caribbean. If you want more, St. John's itself is only a 20-minute drive away, offering the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda, Heritage Quay, and the twin-spired cathedral.
The wreck is the Andes, a three-masted steel merchant sailing ship that went down in 1905. It rests in around 7 to 8 metres (25 feet) of clear, calm water, making it one of the most accessible shipwreck snorkel sites in the Caribbean. Coral has colonised the hull over more than a century, and the barnacle-covered mast still breaks the surface at low tide. For snorkelers of any experience level, it is a genuinely memorable underwater stop.
Five Islands Village sits on a quiet peninsula about 13 km (8 miles) west of St. John's, where the Caribbean Sea surrounds you on three sides. Within a few hours you can snorkel above a 19th-century shipwreck, hike to a colonial fort for panoramic harbour views, and unwind on uncrowded white-sand beaches. It packs a full day of experience into a compact, easily navigable area that most tourists miss entirely.

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
