Taxi Novice Needs Help :)

[workingjoe2001]

I will be visiting Puerto Plata with my family. We will have 11 people including 3 4-year olds, a 7-year-old, and a 1-year old. We will be on NCL. We want to ride the cable car and then visit the chocolate factory. I am from an area of the US where taxis are rare, so I don't know the ins and outs of using them. Would we just get a taxi at the port to take us to the cable cars and then get another taxi to the chocolate factory? Can I be certain that there will be taxis waiting at the cable car location? After the chocolate factory...find another taxi to take us back to the port? How do we know how much $ is reasonable for each leg? Any suggestions/advice would help.

Also, do you have any other suggestions as to what we could do with soooo many kids? 🙂 We don't want to go to the beach, but we are up for other ideas.

Thanks!!
