Visitor Reviews — Tavi’s Taxi Service
“The ride from the airport is never boring.”
Every island has a character.
On Solaramo Cay, that character might be Tavi.
Officially, he’s a taxi driver. Unofficially, he’s part island tour guide, part entertainer, part walking karaoke machine. Depending on who you ask, Tavi is either one of the most charming parts of Solaramo Cay… or the reason some guests start wearing headphones in taxis.
One thing everyone agrees on?
You never forget a ride with him.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I laughed the entire drive.”
— Emma & Claire, Dublin
“Tavi picked us up from the airport singing our names before we even got into the taxi. Somehow he turned a ten-minute drive into a full comedy show complete with improvised songs about luggage, sunscreen, and the marina. Absolute legend.”
⭐⭐☆☆☆
“Please stop singing.”
— Anonymous Guest
“I appreciate enthusiasm. I really do. But after fifteen straight minutes of improvised songs about traffic and coconuts, I was ready to jump out of the taxi.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The spelling thing is hilarious.”
— Nina R., Hamburg
“Tavi randomly spells words during conversations for emphasis. At one point he yelled: ‘That sunset is B-E-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, my friends!’ while driving around a corner. Completely ridiculous. Completely unforgettable.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
“Annoying at first. Weirdly lovable by the end.”
— Marcus T., Chicago
“First five minutes: ‘Who is this guy?’
Twenty minutes later: singing along with him to a made-up song about Solaramo Cay shrimp tacos.”
⭐☆☆☆☆
“Too much energy after a long flight.”
— Rebecca M., London
“Nice enough guy, but not what I wanted after twelve hours of travel. He started ad-lib singing about airport baggage before we’d even left the parking lot.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Tavi IS Solaramo Cay.”
— Sophie & Daniel, Cape Town
“He somehow captures the exact energy of the island. Chaotic, funny, warm, slightly ridiculous, and impossible not to smile around.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
“His songs make absolutely no sense.”
— Jared P., Sydney
“One minute he was singing about dolphins. The next minute he was improvising lyrics about sunscreen prices and heartbreak at Jack’s Place. Honestly impressive.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“He remembered us DAYS later.”
— Amanda & Luke, Vancouver
“We ran into Tavi near the marina three days after arriving and he greeted us by singing a completely improvised song using both our names and details from our airport conversation. Slightly concerning memory. Very entertaining.”
⭐⭐☆☆☆
“Not ideal if you enjoy silence.”
— Anonymous Guest
“To be fair, everyone warned us.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Best airport transfer ever.”
— Hannah T., Melbourne
“By the time we reached the resort, half the taxi was singing along with him. He even created a dramatic final chorus as we pulled into the Solaramo Cay Resort entrance. It felt like arriving inside a musical.”
Locals claim Tavi has never once completed a silent taxi ride.
Tavi himself strongly denies this.
Although admittedly… he usually denies it while singing.
