Farrlacey Posted November 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Would like to take a taxi to casibari rock formations then hooiberg to walk to top. Is taxi best way to get there? Will they be available? How much? Will they wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arubalisa Posted November 10, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Taxis are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The only problem with your proposal is that both attractions are fairly remote and off the beaten path. You could perhaps arrange for a taxi driver to come back and pick you up at both locations at an appointed time. The logical choice would be to rent a car for the day. I am not sure that there will be cars available for one day during the busiest week of the year. You could always shop around and give it a shot.

Farrlacey Posted November 12, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks Arubalisa. Would it be walkable between casibari and hooiberg? How long would we need at each attraction? Are there rest rooms or cafes near each of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arubalisa Posted November 12, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I have not been to Casibari Rock Formations for a number of years. At one time there was a souvenir and coffee shop there. I would hope that they are still open. As the "crow flies" they are about 3/4 mile apart from one another. Walking the roads would be at least 1 3/4 miles. It will hot and some of the roads in that area are not paved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrlacey Posted November 12, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hmmm...so near and yet so far. Maybe we should consider an excursion that covers casibari. .. really would like to climb hooiberg too....but maybe it could be too hot anyway??? Thanks for info. Love the pic too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arubalisa Posted November 12, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hooiberg is not for the faint of heart Kini Kini Tours has a Countryside Tour which goes to Casibari Another suggestion would be to hire a taxi driver such as Bully to take you to where you wish to go. Private taxi tours are $45 per hour with a maximum of 5 people. Perhaps ask another couple from your roll call if they would like to split the tour with you to make it very affordable. In 2 hours you could see California Lighthouse, Alto Vista Chapel, Casibari rock formations, Bushiribana gold mine, former Natural Bridge, the Hotel and Beach area In 2-4 hours In addition to the above, you could also see Downtown shopping area, airport, desalinization water plant, Jamanota (highest mountain on the island), Baby beach, Caves, Arikok National Park and caves] With 4 people you could get a very nice private island tour for $45 per person.
