MICHIGAN MAMA Posted September 13, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2010 We will be in St. Thomas and St. Martin and need to find tours of the islands that will allow a scooter on the bus. The scooter can be broken down for storage. Does anyone have experience with this situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICHIGAN MAMA Posted September 14, 2010 Author #2 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Has anyone taken a tour in any of the Caribbean islands while using a mobility scooter? What island and what tour? Thanks for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katisdale Posted September 15, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 15, 2010 My problem with any tour is the bus itself. I cannot do the high steps into large buses. The scooter doesn't change that. I had the same problem when I was using the rollator. Therefore I always chose to do a private tour with a small bus, van or car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allentownahoy Posted September 15, 2010 #4 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I don't know what cruise line you are going on but I notice that Celebrity is offering excursions specifically for those who need wheelchairs etc in an accessible van.

Walking a long distance is the problem. Can use any type of stairs, but need to bring the scooter for long distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rascalrider Posted September 24, 2010 #7 Share Posted September 24, 2010 There is a w/c trolley in St Thomas that gives tours. I think it left at 9:00 or 9:30am. I was unable to make contact before arriving so just looked around for it when I got off the ship. Head out the decorative gate and keep going and looking to the street about 11:00 o'clock...that is where I found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innlady1 Posted September 25, 2010 #8 Share Posted September 25, 2010 We will be in St. Thomas and St. Martin and need to find tours of the islands that will allow a scooter on the bus. The scooter can be broken down for storage. Does anyone have experience with this situation? I have a TravelScoot and was able to take it on all shore excursions in the Caribbean last winter. I see an orthopedist on Thursday...anticipating hip replacement surgery...and am hoping he can do it before we go on our cruise end January. Either way, I'll bring my TravelScoot again!
