Jezo Posted February 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Want to go back to Orient Beach for a chunk of the day and go to one of our favorite beach bars, three people. Does anyone know the estimated cost and difference between using an official taxi inside the terminal or trying to find a guy outside on the main road there? Taxi back to downtown in the afternoon before walking back to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If seeking a budget price point ride to Orient, then there are Public Busses (Vans) from Back Street in the town. Walk along the line of busses for the large sign on dashboard for destination required. Say hi, ask fare ($2/4), board, wait for bus to fill, depart. On return, stand on sidewalk and wait for a bus/van with Philipsburg in windscreen, flag down, board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezo Posted March 8, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted March 8, 2023 We have taken that bus to Maho beach before, it was pretty easy. The Orient Beach ones have a similar sign that says "Orient" on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as Orient is a very popular destination one would have thought there could possibly be a board. But in no doubt there must be many others on CC who may have used the vans to Orient, who will post to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
