From Previous Post.. The $1 bus vs. the $50 cabs

From a previous post, hope this info helps someone.

 

). We walked downtown and found out the island has a great transportation system at cheap prices. White mini vans, which look like many of the expensive taxis, were labeled “bus”. They are $1.50 per person from one end of the island to the other, or $1 per person mid-way. So here is the secret: Look on the license plate or from window for the word “Bus” and a number, and flag the driver. See if he is going your way. We paid $8 round trip to Rhino Riders vs. $50 in a cab (25 each way) for 4 of us. And the return was simple, had a bus within 30 seconds of leaving Rhino riders. The traffic is all the same, so no advantage to a cab over the bus except we did stop twice to pick up people which added less than 2 minutes total to the ride. They do drop you off downtown instead of at the ship (unless you pay $2 more per person)… which was fine because we took our savings and bought 8 shirts for $20 and looked at 3 big beach towels for $10.

Hi, want to know if you can tell me about the Rhino Riders. Did you book this on your own and what time frame did you do? i think we would have to do the 11:30 since we dock at 8:00a.m. How far away from where you dock and how long does it take to get there? Also did you like it and could you tell me alittle about it. Thanks, KMBB

We booked on line but wished we would have justed walked up so we were not under a time frame. Price is the same.

 

It took about 30 minutes to get there.

 

It was a ton of fun.. my 12 and 10 year old loved it. A little choppy, rough on the back.

 

BE SURE to bring sunglasses for all to keep the salty ocean spray out of your eyes.

 

Bus picks up and drops off right in front.

Forgot to tell you to look for the Pizza place (dominos I think) on the right hand side of the road. Rhino Riders is behind that on the water front. No signage as I recall. Brian
