GOOD AFTERNOON! 😎

2 questions on STT Taxis:

1) If I were to take a taxi to Mountain Top, not a tour, just the taxi ride, and then wanted to explore it at my own pace and drink a bunch of those banana drinks, are there usually other taxis up there that will take me back to my hotel? Or do I need to tell the taxi that took me up there to wait for me???

2) If there are just 2 people and you wanted to do a "custom tour", does anyone know approximately what the cost would be for say 2 hours?? Again, just 2 people. Oh, and would they do something like that from the airport??? I do not want to drive on STT and I know some of the tours look fun, but I would rather skip some of the things on the tours so I was wondering how expensive it would be for 2 people to just walk up to a taxi and say "we want you for 2 hours and want to go here then there"??? And where would be the best spot to approach the taxi for this type of request? Downtown CA? Can I do it at the airport?? Money is not really an issue, as long as it is not THOUSANDS of dollars, but I was just looking for convenience. Um, I always write to much on here and make things confusing......... hee hee hee, I guess I'm just very excited about coming! I guess I was just wondering how flexible the taxis are with driving just 2 people around to a few different spots over a 2 hour span and approximately what the cost would be and if it matters where you flag them down from 🙂

And again, I know I could just rent a car and do this myself for much cheaper, but I am going to do that on STX. The STT trip is about having someone take us around and have about 3 of those banana daiquiris, 4 bushwackers, and then a couple of local beers in between! No worries, I'm a fun person 🙂 but I think we would be better off with a taxi driving us around through the mountains considering we are coming from the flat midwest!

1. Yes.
2. If you go to "St Thomas" top of this page and scroll down to "transportation/taxis" you will find, below the taxi rates at the bottom of the page, information on private taxi tours.

The rate is $25 pp for 2-you tours with at least two people. As to where the best place is to arrange a private tour for just two people is going to depend on how busy the day is. I don't think the airport will be good, because they will be taking people to and from hotels. Town is where they'll try to squeeze you in with cruisers, so your best bet is to get the hotel to find you someone. They may have the flexibility to charge you a bit more for a custom, private tour.
