CroozeNoob Posted January 24 #1 Share Posted January 24 We are looking at going to Hull bay when we get to Saint Thomas at the end of August for the day, and we were wondering how readily available a taxi is both to and from Hull Bay. I have seen people say getting a taxi back is kind of a challenge, and we definitely don't want to get stranded out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted January 24 #2 Share Posted January 24 Best to rent a car for the day. Taxis do not like to take small groups to Hull Bay. 360 Car Rental is close to the Havensight dock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroozeNoob Posted January 24 Author #3 Share Posted January 24 That is what I had figured. Car rental will be around $100... Or we could both rent motorcycles, which is pretty high up on our list of things to do. Are there any recommended motorcycle rental companies?

Ms411 Posted January 24 #4 Share Posted January 24 There is at least one scooter rental company near the Havensight dock. Best to check reviews and go with your gut. I haven't rented a scooter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLcruisergrl Posted January 25 #5 Share Posted January 25 Taxi back would definitely be a challenge. When we were there, we were the only people at the beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to check reviews and go with your gut. I haven't rented a scooter. I've rented a scooter!! A couple of times just not on St. Thomas, I rented one on Antigua twice. Great way to see any island. I drink too much on St. Thomas to rent or drive anything🥴😁 but I highly recommend it. Lots of fun pretty safe all things considered and you can go anywhere riding one of those things. If you don't drink very much, I highly recommend zipping around the island on a scooter. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted February 1 #7 Share Posted February 1 Driving a scooter on St Thomas is more challenging than Antigua because of the hilly terrain. The scooters on St Thomas aren't very powerful either. Be very careful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have mentioned I would only recommend something like this to experienced riders and still then it's dicey. Thanks Ms411🤜🤛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted February 1 #9 Share Posted February 1 There was one scooter biz that used to make the customers maneuver in the parking lot so he could assess their skills. He also directed them to a route that isn't usually as busy with traffic. Unfortunately that biz closed. They've been upgrading the infrastructure in Hull Bay area these last few years, so road is much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTEllis Posted February 1 #10 Share Posted February 1 Another thing and this gets back to the "hilly terrain" you mentioned Ms411 With backpack I'm close to 300lbs. 6'6 inches tall.😂 You should see me on a scooter. It's funnier than you think it is!! I ride alot small motor bikes and have built them. Your going to need a scooter that's going to navigate those hills and roley poley roads. As much fun as I've had driving scooters it never occurred to me to drive one around on St. Thomas. That's a new one.😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTEllis Posted February 1 #11 Share Posted February 1 Btw could you imagine going up and down into Magens Bay on a scooter.😲 OMG that's really funny. I'm so focused on getting alcohol and going to a beach I couldn't drive a tricycle.😂😂😂😎😎🌟🌟🌟🌟 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
