Water taxi from West Bay to West Bend?

[w8ing2cruz]

Some of our group may not want to snorkel on West Bay - I recommended that they take the water taxi to/from West End to do some shopping while we are snorkeling. Good plan or too much travel/things can go wrong?

It's a good plan. It doesn't take long between the two locations and there are always lots of water taxis available. Plus it's cheap at $3US per person. But why wouldn't they just get an excursion directly to West End from the dock rather than going on the West Bay excursion?

Just take a taxi to West End. Several resorts with beaches there as well as diving operators who can take you out to the reef off shore.

You didn't mention you transport choice. If you hired a driver... he can drop off those who wish to shop in West End, set a time to leave West Bay and tell the West End folks to hop a water taxi to West Bay.. this way they only have to spend time going one direction. If those who wish to wonder West End number at least four, they will not have to wait for the water taxi to fill.

 

If in fact, the West End people want to start in West Bay, just flip flop the route and have your driver collect them in West End at a pre-discussed time and location.

 

Or it can also be done the way you suggested... water taxi both ways. It is all about how much time you have and want to spend where. :0)

Thanks for the ideas - logistics are always challenging when there are 9 of us :cool:
