{ 4.7.2018 } { Block Island Experience }

Thanks to our year-round vehicle reservations, bringing your car along to Block Island is easier than ever. However, for short-stays, the island is manageable by foot, especially if you stay within walking distance of our dock. If you’re planning your first visit it’s important to note that there is no public transportation on Block Island. There are bikes and mopeds to rent and taxi cabs for getting from here to there, however if you want to sit back and enjoy an overview of the scenery, there’s nothing like an island tour by taxi.

Take Your Pick

A look at Block Island A list of Taxi Tours is available on the Block Island Tourism Council page, or ask for a recommendation at the front desk of your lodging. Most tour outfits are owned and operated by locals who are more than happy to share their love of the island and regale tourists with local lore, favorite spots, and history. And unlike hailing a city cab, you will need to call and schedule your excursion.

Chances are that your taxi will actually be a minivan, large enough to accommodate up to ten or eleven passengers total. Party size is a good thing to discuss when booking your reservation as large parties could require a convoy and smaller groups could mean sharing the ride with others. Tours are generally no longer than seventy-five minutes or so. Prices will vary and it’s always nice to tip your driver.
