Harbie Posted June 27, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2011 We are going on this cruise in January and I was hoping I could get some recomendations on good tours that others have taken. We like adventure, Rainforest, hiking, shopping, snorkeling, want to try local foods etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gone_cruisin Posted June 27, 2011 #4 Share Posted June 27, 2011 We rented a car in every island - best thing ever! Saw things that an excursion could not have shown you in the limited amount of time. St. Lucia especially! We made it to Sulphur Springs Volcano and the Pitons. It's a long drive, but very much worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurfm69 Posted June 27, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 27, 2011 The best excursion we did was in St Lucia. We did a tour with Cosol which cost $65 per person. Lots to see and do and eat. One of the best tours we have ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't miss this trust me ! Looks amazing so... do you mind if I ask how much this excursion was $$?? Also... would we have to find the other 10 people or do they book as requested so the early bird gets to go type of thing?? Thank you for answering. I hope the OP is okay with these questions. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grgsgrl Posted June 28, 2011 #9 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I am going to 2nd and 3rd Jersey Bruce - We have been to Barbados twice and went on Calabaza both times. You will regret it if you do not go - Gina and the crew are Fabulous and you will be treated like royalty. It costs approx $110 pp and it will be the best money you can spend. They have a website - sailcalabaza.com so you can check it out. Gina will respond immediately to any ? you have. Ask around on your roll call and you will be amazed how many folks would love to do this - great way to make new friends and spend some QT with them on the open waters. Have a great time - tell Gina Kathy said Hi:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
