Meeting and pickup
Cruise passengers: please walk through the port terminal, past the car park and right OUTSIDE the MAIN PORT GATES where we will be waiting for you. Be aware there are two sets of gates so make sure you go through the second set. The port officials have been known to send you to the taxi stand inside the port. You may need to inform them that you need to walk right outside the gates and outside of the port complex. You will find us on a small grassy roundabout under the tree with a board displaying our Mike's Maxi Taxi & Tours logo. We can send you further details after your booking.

2Animal Flower Cave
Feel as if you are on the edge of the world as you look over the cliffs at North Point. See giant waves crashing against the rocks as the wild Atlantic Ocean meets the calm Caribbean Sea. Peer through the gaps in the rocks to watch the sea enter the cave. If you choose to go inside the cave to see the iconic view, make sure you wear sensible footwear as the rocks may be slippery. You can also paddle or swim in the cave pool so bring a costume and towel if you wish. It's well worth it!
