Any info on the cost of a drive from MoBay airport to Port Antonio would be appreciated, as well as any recommended drivers. Thank you very much.

We paid $340 usd a few years ago. We had 8 in our party. We travelled from Duncans to Boston Bay. I don't have the driver's name anymore. We found him at the airport. I'd check with JUTA.
I'm not sure if the South Coast Express has a Mo Bay to Kingston route or not. I think their # is 876-426-0979.

We had 4 in our party and we paid $200 each way (from Duncan's to Drapers Portland). The driver to get from Duncans to Drapers was a private driver, the return to Duncan's was JUTA bus. This was early 2012.

Warren Transportation was the JUTA driver we used on our return. He is based out of Port Antonio area. He picks up guest at the airport in MoBay. His cell # is 483-4461
and his email is drbirdja@yahoo.com He was very professional and safe. Nice clean van with a/c.

Duncan's? Draper's Portland? Boston Bay?

I guess I need to look more closely at the map.

I'm talking from the airport to the town of Port Antonio.

And following that, if I might add, Port Antonio to Treasure Beach.

Jeannie and I gave you an idea of the cost. At the time, we had a puppy with us so the driver charged us more.
Duncan's isn't too far from MoBay and Boston & Draper's are close to Port Antonio.
I've hired drivers from Port Antonio to drive to TB and 2 of them didn't know the way and it took much longer than it should've.
If I were you, I'd contact JUTA.

The South Coast Express goes from Negril to Kingston via Santa Cruz on the south coast. Knutsford goes from from Negril to Kingston via MoBay and Ochi on the north.

Sadly, neither one goes to Porty :-(

I used to go TB then to Port Antonio then back to Mobay for years. It's expensive I paid $250 at least 5 years ago, just the TB/Porty leg. And yes the driver didn't understand how to get there took ALL DAY...so make sure the driver has driven it before and knows the way through the interior, not back to Mobay way then over. Maybe check out a charter flight they can be pretty resonable nowadays, especially if your group is more than one person. Boston and Drapers are just communities outside of town, I always stayed up in Drapers, it's lovely there, the view is to die for. Love that side of the island. Have fun.

We always use this taxi driver from MoBay.
His name is Gary. Phone (876)-779-3674.
He charges $250US for 1-4 people going to Port Antonio.
We have been using him for over 15 years and have not had any problems with him. He is honest and reliable.
ONE LOVE !!
Mike

This is all really good information and much appreciated. I have a drive from MoBay to Port Antonio. Now it's to arrange one from Porty to TB.

Did someone say there is a flight?
