| What to do upon arrival:
|
|
|
- It is extremely important that you confirm your return flight within
three days prior departure. Talk on site to Walter's Tours for return
confirmations.
- Your flight tickets do not include Airport Departure Taxes in Venezuela;
A.D.Tax from Margarita US$ 22 p.p. and US$ 21 p.p. from Caracas.
- Beware of Luggage Porters at Caracas International Airport; someone
will approach you in English and walk you to Domestic Flights Terminal
and ask you then for US$ 20 for him and another US$ 20 for the luggage
porter.
- In Margarita, you probably have in mind to rent a car or take
a taxi with a non-english speaking driver. You can find both at the
airport. Car rentals are also at major hotels & resorts. In general,
the roads are very good and some are excellent. If you like to go
on your own, you might experince thrilling moments, although sometimes
you are going to wish people spoke more english. But overall, I will
suggest our transfer service, at least upon arrival.
- If arrival is by dark, I don't like to encourage you to rent a car
because:
- Street signs are not always there -
- Streets are not always lighted -
- Whoever has the biggest car has the right of way -
- It is prohibited to drive under alcohol influence, but ... there
is almost no police enforcement checking it out there. Along the
roads you will discover many little shrines, that look like doghouses......
this are not; it should remind you and me that someone crashed.
(mostly under alcohol influence).
- I have met guest driving a rented car, who ended up getting in
the resort after 3 hours of driving.(by night)
- These are some of my regular times I need to reach the resorts (from
airport):
- Dunes Resort - 35 min
- LagunaMar Resort - 45 min
- Hilton Suites (Porlamar) - 30 min
- Playa el Agua - 50 min
- El Yaque - 10 min
- I have a VAN SERVICE with double a/c for your transportation
to the resort and while driving, you will hear me talking topics about
the island and answering your questions.
My prices are just a little more than a taxi cab.
