Negotiate the fare before departure; a typical ride to Haramous, Massida compound, where Dolphin Excursions is located, should cost between 500-1000 DJF during the day. Be aware that prices may increase by 50% or more after dark. Ensure the driver knows the location, as it may be necessary to provide specific directions within the compound.
