Latest checks
The $7.50 fare came from the business by email on August 5, 2026, replacing a $3–5 range we had taken from a 2019 directory. We could not confirm the sender operates M&M Taxi, and they did not tell us whether the fare covers every route. The phone number is still the 2019 directory's.
Fares are quoted per ride in the app, not a fixed rate. A few riders report cancellations, so book ahead for a tight ferry or flight.
Bio bay tours start at $70. Punta Arenas, La Chiva, Cayo Afuera, and mangrove tours also start at $70; the longer Tres Palmitas trip starts at $150.
Group ride is a 90-minute loop at $90; a private ride is $150. Family farm rides are $30 and pony rides for small children $20. Riders cap at 210 lbs.
