Hi everyone,

Quick question here-Just wondering if anyone can enlighten me on what is the average fare of a taxi from Birritz airport to St Jean? Hoping to get one on Friday so good to have the heads up on what should be paying!! Have heard a few different quotes already so any advice welcome.

Thanks a million,

Hi,

I contacted Express Bouriccot last night to confirm Taxi from Biarritz Airport to St Jean. Price is E66 for one person, E33 for two persons etc. Takes one hour.

I intend to book this taxi on Tuesday 24th April. I am arriving in Biarritz early evening on Air France flight from Paris. (last leg of about 30 hours from Christchurch New Zealand).

Is anyone else looking at travel from Biarritz Airport to St Jean this same evening?

Original plan was St Jean - Santiago de Compostela - Finisterre. However, after reading that the hike from Finisterre to Muxia is 'not to be missed', have now squeeked in another day. Also watched 'The Way' and they went all the way to Muxia.

Regards to All

Rob

Great. Thanks a million Rob for quick response. But I have already contacted Express Bourricot and unfortuately they are not available on the 30th March, so if anyone has other info about other taxi fares, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I took a taxi from outside Biarritz airport to St. Jean last October and it cost 80 Euros. I found out that this is the standard fare.

hi Cailinnua,
Bus leaves from airport door to Bayonne rail station,tourist info in arrivals will have timetable.This is a very small airport and even if you are collecting your bags you should clear the airport within 10 mins of arrival time. If you are short of time you can always share a taxi to Bayonne, it takes about 10 mins. train to SJPDP.

Fully agree with Justin. Perhaps you are arriving in Biarritz at a late time? Getting to Bayonne is quite easy, and it really is a beautiful train ride to SJPdP.

Here is a link you might like to see:

It seems the last train departs Bayonne at 21:09 this Friday, 30 March.

I hope this helps to start your Camino stress free.

Keep a smile,
Simeon

Go raibh maith agat Justin and thanks a million Shimeon.

Yes, I have heard that route is beautiful, I suppose the main reason I am eager to get to SJPP early is that I have reserved a few items from Pierre at his Compostela Direction, who incidentally can't be praised enough for his help to my requests re equipment, and since the shop closes at 7.00pm, getting the last train is not top of my list! If I wait to collect poncho etc Saturday,I will have to wait til at least 10.00am when the shop opens which ceratinly puts me back a few hours for my first day.

I guess will see and what will happen will happen!

Definitely don't want to start journey stressed!
