Luckily enough, on arriving to Nukus and speaking to receptionist where I was staying, I managed to meet a nice Japanese couple Keigo and Naoko who also had the same idea. Having asked around and hotel who wanted to charged an over-inflated price, we managed to talk to a taxi driver who happened to know a driver in Moynaq who we manage to get the number. After some negotiating with the driver directly, we managed to get a MUCH more agreeable price and about half of what the hotel wanted charge!
Like a local, the next day we headed to the bus station for the local bus towards Moynaq where the old port once was.
