Family of 5 - Taxi for the day - price and can they accommodate 5 ?

[Spike2000]

I am still torn on what specifically we want to do while in port...probably dockyard, and hit a few beaches.  It sounds like snorkeling is fairly weak in Antigua compared to other islands.  I  have read that people are getting taxis for the day for 160-180 per day. 

 

My question is, do you believe I will have an issue finding a taxi that will accommodate all five of us for the day? I would prefer not to be pushed to a bus with others in case they don't want to do what we do.   My 3 kids are all pretty tall so we'll call them adult size.  I suppose case, we  can just jump on a random tour once we get off our ship that day?  Any recommendations are appreciated.  

 

Thx

A private minibus will take 5 adults with no problem.

There are many on CC who will give personal recommendations for a 'excellent' tour.
