Question - if we take the STJ ferry over to VG...do we have to pay a tax once we get there?

I see that the R/T fare is $35 p/p...then do we add $25 onto that, so really we would pay $60 each?

Thnx!

Well - $35 r/t was ok to spend, just to goof around and take the ferry over. But $70 r/t Den says we'll just stay on STJ. :wink:

We will be with Palm Tree Charters while we are there and that will be so awesome - so we are good!! :)

Coden,
What you are quoting is the ferry to West End. Your question asked about VG (Virgin Gorda). That's why Pia gave you the $70 rate.
