MaraGirl Posted March 3, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hi, We're coming to Antigua via Golden Princess 3/22. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get to Nelson's Dockyard w/o booking a tour? That's an easy one ! Once you get off the ship - go the taxi stand - it will be the first thing you see, it is right next the A&B Tourism center. Explain that you are not looking for a tour. The fare for a group of 4 or less is approx 30$USD each way. If there are more than 4, then it is $8 USD per person each way. There may be an additional fee if your assigned driver waits for you at the Dockyard. There is a $5 USD fee for entrance into the Dockyard, included in this fee is a guided tour of the Dockyard and also covers the entrance for the Interpretation Center and Shirley Heights.

Natalia Posted March 3, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Wowsa... if you only have 4 or less, for that price consider an island tour and get more for your money. You can get a complete tour for around 30 bucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texancruzer Posted March 3, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yes but then you are on a bus with 40-50 other people being told when to get on, when to get off, when to stop for a bathroom break......so it is a tradeoff......less money = less control over your day.... We rented a car for the whole day for 51.00 + and went all over the whole island....had a blast. Two couples split the cost so worked out with insurance and gas etc to about 20.00 per person but went ALL OVER THE ISLAND... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalia Posted March 3, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yeah, thats a good point about 'paying' for control. I guess taxi fare of $30 per person, each way, was just :eek: to me. For 2 people, thats $120 just to GET TO Nelson's... but if thats acceptable to someone, well ok. For me and my pocket, no way. The smaller tours dont carry 50-60 people, do they?? Im not talking a ships tour, I mean like with Lawrence or one of the local tour guides at the pier. Maybe they only offer island tours and not just one-stop transportation like a taxi would... I dont know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin and Lindsey Posted March 3, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I assumed that was $30 for four or less people. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaraGirl Posted March 3, 2006 #7 Share Posted March 3, 2006 The taxi fare from St.Johns to Nelsons Dockyard is not $30 USD per person. If the number of passengers is 4 or less - it is a flat rate of $30. If there are more than 4 passengers, then each passenger is charged $8 USD, so 5 passengers would pay in total $40, 6 pay a total of $48 etc etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
