crusinmedrn Posted May 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Is it feasible to take the local bus to Nelsons Dockyard and be back in St Johns by 1300 for a booked shore excursion at 1330 if the boat docks at 8am in port? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairgarth Posted May 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Feasible? Certainly. Risky? Quite a bit. The are no bus schedules. Buses are minivans, owned by the driver, and he leaves when he feels like it i.e. when there's enough passengers to make it worth while. So your return trip cannot be predicted. You could take a bus one way and taxi back. Lots of taxis available there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylork Posted July 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 30, 2018 During the season, its easy to get a bus going the Nelsons dock yard, and also a return bus to st johns. You most likely will meet similar cruise passengers on the same bus with similar plans. Only con, it makes no sense going nelsons dock yard and not going shirleys heights, youd have to take a taxi there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanexile81 Posted July 31, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2018 We got the bus to Nelson's Dockyard once and it was very easy but the buses don't run to any kind of timetable. We waited 30 minutes in St John's for the bus to fill up and there was a wait before the bus left Nelson's Dockyard too. I definitely wouldn't risk it. If you want to do it, grab a taxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
