Flying Directly into Anguilla (AXA)?
After clearing customs and collecting your luggage, you’ll exit the terminal where your transportation host will be waiting to greet you.

Please remember to tip your driver and bag handlers — it is always deeply appreciated!
Flying into Sint Maarten (SXM)?
After clearing customs and collecting your luggage, you’ll exit the terminal where your transportation host will be waiting. They’ll escort you and your bags to your vehicle and take you to the SXM ferry port, where you’ll board your ferry to Anguilla.
At the port, your driver will collect your passport and check your bags into the ferry’s holding area. You’ll then be guided to a comfortable waiting area — there’s even a small counter with drinks and snacks! Depending on your arrival time, your ferry departure may vary, so settle in and embrace Island Time.
A representative from Calypso Charters will return your passport and guide you to the boarding area when it’s time. Once on board, a complimentary drink is included with your crossing. Sit back, breathe in the salty air, and enjoy the ride.
Upon arriving at the Anguilla port, your bags will be brought to the port building for you to collect, after which you’ll proceed through the local security checkpoint. A hotel representative will be waiting on the other side to greet you and bring you to Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club. Your bags will be delivered directly to your room.
Please tip your drivers and bag handlers at each step — they work hard to make your arrival seamless.
