FYI: after you book the taxi and give them the number in your group, any extra people get charged as if they are part of a separate trip... full price

maybe cancel and make a new group? which is more wrong, cheating the rules or charging double

I tried to add to taxi ride. found someone on the Ranger ride over to share going to Moskey and he agreed to split cost. Then we got to lodge. Double the cost. Also at end of my trips I have tried to get a discount at lodge if they have any rooms available. All the ferries and plane are gone for day I figure 50% off something is better than 100% of nothing. I was quickly disabused of that line of thought. Never has worked. Canceling and changing reservations is not cheating in my humble opinion. Plans do change.

I was coming here to these forums to ask this exact thing about getting a water taxi from RH to Moskey but I have no idea where to start looking for this. Where/where would I call?
