Looks like we have Leo booked for the day so will report back in a month with our results! He seems very pleasant over email so that is a good start. Looking forward to seeing what the whole day will bring, hardest part now is waiting for the day to finally arrive.

Okay thanks, one more question, I don't mean this as a dumb question because I have been to so many places where everything is handled differently. I'd rather ask a dozen repetitive questions now then show up clueless in a month and havd no idea what I am doing. At the taxi stand is it a line like some ports or is it more of a free for all where there are people everywhere flagging you down? I have seen both so it's fine either way, just want to know what I am getting into so I can be prepared. Are there any scams I need to be aware of or unauthorized taxis? Some places you know its a "real" taxi by the color of the license plate or if they are in certain sections, or medallions. When we leave the port area here how do we know which ones we should be dealing with? When negotiating, do we do that based on time or destinations? We have our list of places and order we want to go to them on, or do we just say we want someone to drive us for 5 to 6 hours and lets have a price and shake on it?

What's the best way to get there and back for the day? We want to head over there, hang out for most of the day, and then go back to the port. Should we hire a car for the day or just use a taxi?

Are all of the taxis at the port regulated or should I find a car service for the day? How does getting a taxi here work, especially with hiring one for the day? Do they provide up front prices or will I need to negotiate?

We are coming on a cruise though, not an airplane. Wont have anyone driving us from an airport.

We will be there from 8AM to 6PM, so I think that's enough time to not rush. All of these look interesting but not quite walkable to each other. Would I need to hire a taxi all day or can I get them to and from each spot? How much are taxies on this island? I could see us doing the volcano hot mud baths, Piton Falls looks perfect, and then one more thing like the nature trails or botanical gardens. Any idea how we could get from one spot to another on our own?

Coming on the last day of a long cruise and wanted to get to the sulphur springs. If we take our own transportation out there, like a taxi or private car, how long can we expect to stay over there? Is there anything else to do or will we go into the crowded springs, take our mud pictures like everyone else, and be ready to go in 20 minutes? Speaking of getting there, what is the best way to get there from the cruise port and what would the expect round trip cost be?

What's a good tipping rate for something like this these days? Also that sounds good, we were thinking 5 or 6 hours, were you able to see a couple of different things when you went?

For using Leo, how many hours did you go out for and what did you do? I sent an email so want to come up with some kind of plan, I dont know much which is why we want to get something like this. Will be in port from 8 - 6. Dont want to spend that entire time but do want to take a nice chunk of the day to drive around and get a sampling of the island.

Can't seem to find much, a few links are around but they are 10 or 15 years old. Does anyone have any recommendations for a taxi we could hire for a day and go see things for the day while in port with RCL?
