Taxi Price: Paynes to Accra?

[Down2Mars]

Hi!

 

Does anyone know what the price of a taxi cab is from Paynes Beach to Accra.

I'm planning on heading over to paynes early in the morning to see if I can see any Sea Turtles and then would like to take a taxi to Accra. It would be great if I new!

 

Thanks!

Hi The Taxi fare to paynes Bay is $7.50 pp providing is a group of 4. And its the same price from the ship to accra $7.50 each we met and toured with a very nice lady driver there she said we can pass her name on so her goes 1 246 825 2074. We paid $25pp for tour,beach and shopping and didn't pay until we got back was great we even swim with the turtles.

God knows I'm NO expert on taxi fares, despite living on da islan'

but I think you'll find that those fares quoted above are fares from the Port to Paynes Bay

and from the Port to Rockley/Accra.

 

The OP asked about taxi fares,cross-island from Paynes Bay to Rockley/Accra which will be another matter altogether.

A lot depends on if you can get a group together to make it worth his while.

 

Assembling 3 or 4 like-minded couples is a definite plus when it comes to taxi fares

since a lot of the local guys have these 10-seater vans to fill.

Sorry for the delayed reply, but we were in Barbados two weeks ago and did this.

 

The cost for our taxi from Paynes to Accra was $30 total for the two of us. We asked around at Paynes and this appears to have been the going rate. We settled on the rate before jumping in the cab which was a minivan.

 

We had a great taxi driver whom knew the history of the island quite well. I grilled him on Barbados history questions for 25 minutes (I am of the curious type) He knew every answer - it was kind of scary:eek:

 

Great experience.
