DePalm Island-Ticket T0 Paradise

[Arlenedow]

We'll be on the Volendam in Aruba 4/2. I tried to book the Ticket To Paradise directly through Palm Island Tours but they told me I would have to go through HAL since HAL books their tours. I'm wondering if anyone has just gotten off the ship and gone to one of DePalms tour counters in a hotel and booked their tour to Palm Island? I'm sure it would be less expensive then through the ship.

Has anyone any experience with the Banana Bus island tour? I've tried on the Port of Call but no response.

Arlene .... In January we booked this excursion through HAL and had a good time! :) There were so many "friendly blue parrot fish" and so easy to see ... no real need to snorkel!

Our review is posted in the Ports of Call Section under Aruba:

We had some "timing issues" in Aruba so booking through the cruise line worked for us.

Hope this helps a little. Happy Sailing! OCruisers :)
