Elbygina Posted July 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Hi everyone, Having seven people, we cannot take the usual taxi, unless we take two. Is there another way to get to Lousibourg? Thanks in advance for your help! Elby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elbygina Posted July 17, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I don't really want to rent a van since we are only going there and back. Does anyone know if there is something similar to Uber? Or taxi service? We can split into 3 and 4, if needed. Also, how expensive would that be from the cruise port to Louisbourg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using TaxiFareFinder and assuming it is working properly, the taxi fare would be about $78 plus tip one way. Travel time would be about 45 minutes.

To give you something to compare, a mid size car will run you around $30 (at least that's the rate we're paying in October), so about $60 for two cars.

Cruise_More_Often Posted July 17, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Renting a van would be the easiest and cheapest way to go. The rental company (we used Budget) will meet you at the ship and take you to their facility to pick up your van. The drive to the Fortress is not confusing at all.

maryann ns Posted July 18, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 18, 2017 And since you have the van (good move!) if you have time you can check out the Lighthouse near Louisbourg There is a hiking trail on the opposite side of the bay called the Louisbourg lighthouse trail. A fantastic hike. The site of the first lighthouse in Canada. There is a lighthouse still there next to the ruins of the original. http://www.novascotia.com/see-do/trails/louisbourg-lighthouse-trail/6156 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time we will not miss it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzyluvs2cruise Posted August 21, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 21, 2017 We're in Sydney on a Saturday. Are there any options for tours from the dock. Not comfortable with doing rental car after hours drop-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohdreaming Posted August 21, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 21, 2017 We're in Sydney on a Saturday. Are there any options for tours from the dock. Not comfortable with doing rental car after hours drop-off. There are not enough activities or much things to do near the port where the cruise ship docked. They recommend people to either rent a car on their own to explore outside Sydney or to take a shore excursion from the cruise ship. Here's two sites on what things to do in the port of Sydney: https://www.cruisecritic.com/ports/newport.cfm?ID=604 http://www.sydneyport.ca/cruise/things-to-do/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
