HAL or other Shuttles in Western SA ports

[hmh]

:)Is there any possibility that recent cruisers on HAL ships that do the West Coast of South America can provide some information about what--other than HAL excursions--are available at the various ports: Manta, Slaverry, etc.? I know about the Stern shuttle in Lima.

 

I have read almost the threads( backwards) on this South America Board but have not seen many comments about cruises that begin in FLL and end in or continue from Valpo. I have also checked the roll calls for the past couple of years, to glean information.

 

On many of our other HAL cruises, we did not learn about free or inexpensive shuttles, until we were on the ship. We usually book a couple of the HAL excursions, but often like to "do our own thing, at our own pace" and I am trying to learn what might be available on the Oct. 18 FLL to Valpo Zaandam cruise if we book it. Thanks for any comments. hmh
