guntheros Posted July 8, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I would also like to know this. We are interested in both? How far/how much to get back from Carlisle Bay to the cruise terminal? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, quite do-able. ;) Paynes Bay is about 4-5 miles North of Bridgetown and the port where your ship will dock -on a straight and direct road- ..and Carlisle Bay/Lobster Alive/Boatyard is on the other side of Bridgetown from where your ship will be. Driving time between Paynes Bay and Carlisle Bay should be no more than half-hour depending on traffic in/around Bridgetown. From Carlisle Bay area back to the ship (at 3 p.m.) might involve more traffic than you'd think, especially if 3-5 ships are in port that day :cool: All those cruisers ashore are trying to get back onboard, just like you are! so allow maybe 20 mins. for that return trip, at that time of day. The traffic congestion builds as one approaches the port area, that's why. ___________________________________ On Saturdays and Sundays the traffic situation is completely different and that same short trip will take 5 mins. tops!!

The turtles are all over these days... I'm sure the local glass-bottom-boat guys know quite a few spots probably around the 1 or 2 shallow shipwrecks in C.Bay Any of those guys offering quick tours will put you on the spot/s. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
