St. Thomas/St. John's Taxis Fares

[premiumrican]

I want to go over to St. John the next time I am St. Thomas. I would like to know how long is the Taxi ride from the pier to Red Hook ferry terminal and from Red Hook to Trunk Bay? Also what is the fare for each leg?

Which pier are you docking at? Havensight or Crown Bay? Or tendering into Charlotte Amalie downtown?

 

On our most recent cruise, we docked at Crown Bay, off ship at 8:15, in taxi leaving parking area at 8:25, drove through town and past Havensight, and just barely made the 9:00 Red Hook Ferry. Coming back from the 5:00 ferry to Red Hook our driver took us a different way back to Crown Bay so we could avoid the congestion at Havensight. I don't recall how long that way was but it had good views.

 

Cruz Bay to Trunk Bay - I have never driven it straight (either stopped at Hawksnest or the overlook for photos). Maybe 20 minutes? Someone else can probably answer that better. :)

Hello Premiumrican,

 

The links Mandy provided have the information you requested and more.

 

From havensight to Red Hook is about 20 minutes drive and about $8 a person (in a shared cab)/one way. You have to take a ferry from Red Hook on St. Thomas to Cruz Bay on St. John - thats a 15 minute ferry ride at $3 per person/one way. Then take a taxi from Cruz Bay to Trunk Bay. $5.50 for one person, $9 for two people, $4 each for a group of 3+ and takes about 12 minutes.

How about the taxi rate from Crown Bay to Red Hook and then from Cruz Bay to Cinnamon Bay, with at least 4 people, maybe 6. Thanks!

stefhef - This past November, hubby and I paid $9 each from Crown Bay to Red Hook (and also $9 each coming back). We were placed in a van with other passengers. Because we rented a dinghy in Cruz Bay we did not use a taxi to Cinnamon Bay... although we did stop there with the dinghy.:) You will absolutely love St John. I was just flipping through an Islands magazine at the bookstore today and it had a several-page article on St John. Made me miss it. :(
