Anyone just hire a cab for the day?

DH, DD and I will be in Aruba next summer and could not find an excursions to fit our needs. Has anyone just rented a cab for the day? If so, how much did it average? Any response would be helpful as we still have quite a bit of time to prepare.

Hello Ballarinamom, I am traveling with my mother in October and wondered the same thing. Because of my mother's condition it is hard for her to travel on a bus or in a jeep. I saw your post with no responses, have you came up with any ideas on your own or through the web? I am trying to list the things that are a must see and then figure out how to get a taxi who wants to stay with us for 4 or 5 hours. I'm sure there is a price just don't know what that is. Epenny

We're going on Adventure of the Sea with Royal Caribbean. Through their board, I received alot of responses that were helpful. Many people said cabs are readily available from the dock. They can do the established "tour" which is about 3 1/2 hours and runs about $80.00. From what I understand, the island isn't too big so we should not be inundated with too many places to see and not enough time.

A lot of places to see are not accessible by cab and will need a jeep.

so the bus tours that are taking you around to visit the various sites which are accessible by car/van might be better.

We rented a little jeep and drove anywhere we wanted, stayed as long as we wanted and new how much I was spending. PERIOD
