BDA to Kings Wharf

[rothjer]

Hi there

 

We are flying into BDA to join our cruise which is berthed in the Kings Wharf port. Would anyone know how much it would cost us to hire a taxi for this distance?

 

We are aware of the ferry, but we are lugging lots of luggage and would rather the comfort of a taxi.

 

Are taxi's readily available at the airport?

 

We arrive at 1:30 pm, how long would the drive be ? Should we expect any delays or traffic around this time ?

There will be taxis at the airport. The trip will take 60 - 90 mins and cost over $50 - probably somewhere $75 to $100 - you are travelling from one end of the island to the furthest end. Traffic isn't bad at this time.

 

This is an expensive way to join a cruise but you may think it's worth it.

 

On the other hand, a taxi to St George's ferry dock (and they can drop you right at the dock altho' there is no shade there from the sun) will take about 10 - 15 mins and cost $15 - $20. The ferries run at 3pm and 4pm Mon - Fri and take 40 mins to King's Wharf. Then it's a short(ish) walk on the flat to the ship.

 

It should take you 20 - 30 mins at the airport from plane to taxi so you ought to be easily able to make the 3pm ferry.

 

(PS - King's Wharf is at Dockyard - see the map)

with limited luggage you could do this by bus($4.50 all coins or coupons or an all day pass $12 per day)...which will also take a while.

Personally I would take the taxi to Hamilton and then the ferry that runs every hour or less and is then 20 minutes from the Dockyards....
