blue_water Posted January 13, 2013 #26 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) They are in 2 different directions so you'd need to have a driver take you to Drake's after the beach or take one of the tours that includes a stop at Sapphire or Coki. Or you may find a driver that will hit Drake's before Sapphire too. Edited January 13, 2013 by blue_water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packedready Posted January 13, 2013 #27 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Does anyone know if there is wifi available at any of the beach bars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartfan Posted January 13, 2013 Author #28 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Thank you for all the help everyone. Now that our group has decided what we are doing in St Thomas, there are 7 of us going to Magen's bay. Will we all be able to go together in a taxi or will we need two? Saw the question about Drakes's seat, would it be possible to have taxi stop on way to Magen's bay- are they in the same direction. Thanks again for all the help. I love these boards!

Mkripke Posted January 14, 2013 #29 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I also have the question about Megan's Bay. There are 6 of us on the Epic. What is the cost R/T to there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted January 15, 2013 #30 Share Posted January 15, 2013 You will be in a safari taxi with 18 - 19 others, $8pp for 2 or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkripke Posted January 15, 2013 #31 Share Posted January 15, 2013 $8/pp each way, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallyb Posted January 15, 2013 #32 Share Posted January 15, 2013 We did this several times. Our drivers did stop for scenic overlooks. Your mileage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted January 16, 2013 #33 Share Posted January 16, 2013 $8/pp each way, correct? Yes that's right, sorry, 8$pp each way. You can also get a price for a stop at Drake's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Lomas Posted January 17, 2013 #34 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yes that's right, sorry, 8$pp each way. You can also get a price for a stop at Drake's. Does anyone know if cabs charge for children or not? Full-price/reduced price/free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted January 17, 2013 #35 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Now that our group has decided what we are doing in St Thomas, there are 7 of us going to Magen's bay. Will we all be able to go together in a taxi or will we need two? The taxis that go to Magens Bay are open air safari-style taxi trucks which hold about 20 people each. There are designated cabs to go to each beach; when you get off the ship, go to the taxi stand and tell the dispatcher where you are all going; he will direct you to one of the cabs going specifically to Magens Bay. Oh, and it cost $4.00 per person entrance fee there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted January 17, 2013 #36 Share Posted January 17, 2013 The driver may give you a break Russ, but there are no reduced fares for kids. These taxis hold 25 ppl and they will want to fill all seats. You'll see that it's very organized at the dock, these guys do this every day.

Little ones can easily sit on our laps (and will likely want to). 2 of them are only 4 years old. Other older girls will want their own seats.

maggie3 Posted February 5, 2014 #46 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Blue Water: What are the options for a rest room on Sapphire Beach, other than the sea, now that the resort has closed? :confused: We are considering a ship's tour next week to Sapphire that supposedly provides a chair and a drink. Sometimes, though, a rest room can be very important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted February 5, 2014 #47 Share Posted February 5, 2014 There are no bathroom options at the beach unless the ship tour rents a.porta potty. Or maybe they've worked out a deal with the owner for use of the bathrooms for their tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
