Your only option is to take a taxi or rent a car. Taxi will be cheaper, and Sapphire has a Budget office on site, so you can always rent from them later. I highly recommed booking on-line, as you get a much better price. After you get your luggage (follow the crowd to get to the carousel) and then walk outside and they are right there waiting for you.

Should I take a taxi or safari? I've heard different things about both on this site. What are the comparisons?

We rented a car at the airport & was in our room looking at the beach within an hour of getting off the plane!! (we booked ahead of time online)

Hello Brian,

A safari is a type of vehicle used to run taxi. The other major vehicle used is a van and then cars/suvs. A safari is a converted truck; truck beds are customized with bench seating in an open-air covered area.

There are taxi drivers that run what’s called a 'dollar ride' (with discounted fare) and they are typically in a safari vehicle thus some people calling the 'dollar ride' a safari... however not all safaris are 'dollar rides'. The 'dollar rides' came into existence as a way to alleviate some of the public transportation needs among residents that the buses weren't filling, it is not a regulated system like the taxis are therefore some 'dollar ride' drivers will charge the regular taxi rates to tourists. The 'dollar ride safaris' are typically found running the same route as the public bus.

Now to answer the question about the airport. There are only taxis at the airport, charging regular posted rates regardless of what sort of vehicle they are driving.
