From the cruise terminal, how do you get to where you catch Jolly Pirate excursion? Do I take a taxi? A bus? And can you elaborate? Like what it cost, and where do you catch a Taxi or bus? And how far away is it? This is for 5 adults. Thanks

We were in Aruba in April (not on a cruise) and took the Jolly Pirate snorkel and swing tour. It's a lot of fun.

 

From the ship, you can take the bus or a taxi. I think the bus station is just across the street from the cruise terminals. You can take the #10, 10A or 10B bus and it costs $2.30 a person. You'll need exact change (or something close). We saw some people have to get off the bus because they only had $20 bills. Get off at the Holiday Inn stop.

 

Here is a link to the taxi rates: http://www.visitaruba.com/readBlob.do?id=5661

You'd be going to the hi-rise section so the fare would be $11. On holidays, all the rates go up $3 (which we found out because there were 2 holidays the week we were there). Ask to be let off at Moomba Beach.

 

Have fun!

Yes I read the web page. Didn't see anything about transportation, just where the location is :confused: Thanks anyway

 

You've received a very detailed response, but the information you were looking for was on the webpage under the FAQ section.

We did the afternoon snorkel in April with Jolly Pirates. We took a can from inside the port area up to their office. I had read it was cheaper OUTSIDE the port area, but we were rushing to get there because of our late port time. We told the driver to go to the Holiday Inn, and then had to walk a bit. Next time I'd just tell them Jolly Pirates or Moomba ... there's a road and parking lot behind their office that's less of a walk than the Holiday Inn was. Taxis in Aruba are per ride, up to 5 passengers. I believe it was $11USD.
