Return taxi followed by ship tender boarding
Allow for the land journey and tender queue. Check park access and sea conditions before committing to the route, and use the ship return instructions rather than a public ferry schedule.
Getting from the ship
To The Baths and Devils Bay
First connection
Confirm the ship tender or landing arrangements at Spanish Town/St Thomas Bay. Arrange a taxi or excursion to The Baths with a return pickup. A commercial boat outing is a separate service and does not replace the ship tender automatically.

Simplest approach
Make The Baths the main visit and continue towards Devils Bay only if the route, sea conditions and your mobility suit. Return with the agreed vehicle to the correct ship landing; choose a shorter Spanish Town outing if the boulder route is unsuitable.
