Hello! I have searched and searched cruise critic for information on this question but could not find it... sorry if it is answered somewhere else.

We will be in Barbados at the beginning of May and want to do a catamaran sail and snorkle to swim with the sea turtles. The tour will end at 1pm near Holetown/Heron Bay area (I believe) at which time transportation is provided to bring us back to the port... but I am also very interested in seeing Little Bay on the north end of the island. The pictures look amazing and I would really like to see the blowholes. I'm just worried about time and how much it would cost to get to Little Bay and back... I looked on google maps and from Holetown to Little bay is approx. 30 minutes, while Little Bay back to the port is approx. 45-60 minutes. Tour ends at 1pm and cruise ship leaves at 5pm. Any advice??? Is there time to pack in Little Bay or is the cost/effort just not worth it? Any other places to recommend? Thank you!

I made a reservation for kayaks from Caribbean Paddling for our day in St. Martin. My husband is a little worried about driving when we are on the island, so I got a quote from the taxi driver that the proprietor of Caribbean paddling recommended.

 

Her quote was $30 round trip. There are four of us (2 adults 2 children) so the total price will be $120. Does that seem about right? I understand that the driver need to make it worth her while, but I don't want to get gouged!

 

If anyone has experience with taxi rates to and from the ferry to Pinel (which is where the kayaks are located, please let me know.

 

I have checked out the taxi rate sheets, and my quote seems high according to those, but I don't want to be left stranded...

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi Laura! We are looking to rent stand up paddleboards from that same company in St. Martin in May, but they quote us $60.00 RT for the 2 of us! Who did you talk to that quoted you $30.00 pp? Thank you!
