Are there taxis waiting at Horseshoe Bay?

[cruisin'sz]

Are there usually taxis waiting at Horseshoe Bay or will we need to take the bus back to our ship? What is the cost for 6 people to take a taxi to the Dockyards from Horseshoe Bay?

 

Alternatively, can we hire a taxi there for a short tour of the island after spending some time at the beach?

If you take a cab to Horseshoe Bay, if you ask the driver to pick you up at such and such a time, he will. Combining a tour with the ride back should be no problem. However, if there are 6 of you, and a cab driver, that makes 7 people in one vehicle..... you'll most likely need two cabs.

The cost of the taxi for Dockyards to/from Horseshoe Bay for 6 passengers, weekday travel, is at least $35.00 each way.

There will be taxis waiting but maybe not one that holds six. You might have to take two taxis or they can call the taxi company for a larger taxi.

 

Yes, you can take a tour of the island by taxi. Some drivers are specially trained and those may or may not be waiting at Horseshoe. I suggest calling one of the taxi companies and arranging for that in advance.

Been in three or four taxis in Bermuda with six plus the driver so it is possible. I suggest arranging in advance but we never had to.

If it should happen to rain, don't count on seeing any. Even the guy with the van for a $2 ride up the hill was not there and the walk up seems longer in the rain.:D

 

Like others said, best to make arrangements ahead so your "chariot awaits you".:)

My guesstimate of the fare would be at least $20.00 for 1 to 4 passengers, weekday travel.
