Are there taxis at Stingray City? Want to fit in Shirley Heights...

Hi

I've booked Celebrity's shore excursion to Stingray City as I suspected they might book up all the available slots. But I would also like to see some of the island. (It's a morning excursion; back by midday I think). Are taxis available at Stingray City that we could take rather than go all the way back to port? Or if we do go back to the port, would we have time in the afternoon to take a taxi to Shirley Heights and back? We depart at 5pm.

Thank you!

I rather doubt that taxis are available at Stingray City - it's a bit out of the way and everybody has their own transport, one way or another. I'm sure they could call a cab for you, to be waiting when you get back from the stingray adventure. Don't underestimate how long Stingray City takes, speaking from memory it was two hours from the moment you arrived there. You would have to add in transport from the port which will be 30 - 40 minutes each way. Taxi from the port to Shirley Heights would also be around 30 - 40 minutes each way.

Thanks. The excursion is from 8.15 - 11.15am, so I assume we'd be finished at about 10.45am (if it takes about 30 mins to get back to port). I did email Stingray City as well, but haven't had a reply as yet. But I recognise it would be easier to get a taxi from the port.
