Island tour by taxi

[PAPERBKWRITER]

Need an idea of cost for a 2 hour tour by taxi for 4 people. Anyone done this fairly recently?

We just hired a Taxi/Tour service (Carson’s) and it was $40USD per hour that you would split by however many you had in his van (that easily seats 10).   In a nutshell for 4 people, it would be $10 per hour per person.

I don't remember the price, but we just picked up "a taxi" at the dock, a few years ago (maybe 4).

 

We asked the driver to give us a full tour of the island, which ended up being a full circle, and it was great.

We also asked him to stop by a few of the nicer resorts so we could get a first hand look, before later doing "online" research.

(At perhaps two of them, he had to explain to a guard what we wanted to do, as our names obviously weren't on the "expected guests" list.  No problem; we were allowed in.)

 

About 2 years later (2 years ago), we went back for a week's land trip, just to enjoy those magical clear turquoise water.  It was amazing.

And yesterday, we were back for visit #3, but this time was a cruise again.

We took the SilverMoon catamaran afternoon cruise, which was superb.

 

But it really helped to have an overall feel for the island, and also for a few of the resorts we would *not* have wanted to stay at... but we probably wouldn't have known without being right there.

 

The difference in the coasts, east vs. west, were dramatic, as were the water action.

The water is just gorgeous there!

And if you've never been here before

the most cost-effective time well spent

is to do a general island tour!

 

You'll get to see so much more

than if you just go to Another Beach

or go walking around the town
