Extra Kim Posted July 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Me and my fiance are doing a B2B on Legend O.T.S in Jan-Feb 2015 and we want to do a helicopter tour over one of the Islands. We are going to: Aruba Bonaire Br. Vigin Islands St. Kitts Dominica - Already have a tour booked there. Antigua x2 St. Maarten Barbados Grenada St. Lucia Where would you take an helicopter tour and why? We were thinking that St. Lucia might be a nice Island for that ? We have never sky dived but if we were to sky dive we would like a fantastic view and could it be any better then the caribbean? :D The same goes for this; Where would you sky dive and why?

sun~ Posted July 6, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I have done the helicopter tour from Antigua to Montserrat. It was spectacular! As you may know, Montserrat has very few people living there now since the volcanic eruption a few years ago. It was astonishing to see the houses, farms, commercial buildings and hotels half buried in lava. There are still cows running around, which is kind of odd. There is only a small area in one section has inhabitants. The only way to see most of the island is by air. It really is a unique experience.

biker@sea Posted July 7, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Flying into the live Montserrat volcano was the thrill of a lifetime for us . :D The phone # is 1-268-460-5900 Edited July 7, 2014 by biker@sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just added that to the on-going notes/list I have for future cruises. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougypk Posted July 7, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 7, 2014 There is skydiving in Aruba, google Skydive Aruba to find them or a YouTube video that shows the whole experience. I've done a few skydives myself and I prefer to fly near the mountains, I think it makes the flight up more interesting (although I'm sure the view of the Caribbean islands would also be great). So I'd recommend taking the advice of "sun~" and "biker@sea" above and doing the flight to Montserrat. I'm sure you can find some spectacular places to skydive in Sweden or Norway... that way you can have both experiences :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extra Kim Posted July 7, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Thanks for the replays. We have two stops in Antigua and having a helicopter tour there would be nice, since we will be able to see the Island from the ground to. We have been on Aruba (got engaged there in December :) ) and I'm not sure that Island is the best to sky dive over, since the Island doesn't offer that much vegitation.

Extra Kim Posted July 12, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Has anyone here done a helicopter tour or sky dive in any of these ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeagleOne Posted September 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I would do a helicopter tour over sky-diving simply because you get that amazing aerial view for much longer during a helicopter tour, and you don't have to (or shouldn't have to) worry about the landing! That helicopter tour of Montserrat sounds amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted September 14, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Where would you take an helicopter tour and why? We were thinking that St. Lucia might be a nice Island for that ? We have never sky dived but if we were to sky dive we would like a fantastic view and could it be any better then the caribbean? :D The same goes for this; Where would you sky dive and why? Seems to me you could do both at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashew14 Posted September 17, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 17, 2014 We did the helicopter tour in St Lucia last year. It was brilliant!!! I believe it was 30 - 40 minutes. They picked us up from port and also dropped us back into town as we wanted to walk around a little before returning to the ship. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashew14 Posted September 17, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I don't know if you need other suggestions, but just in case: St. Maarten (we rented a car and drove around the island, very good roads and spectacular scenery) Barbados (we played golf there) Grenada (we went on a catamaran which was fantastic too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extra Kim Posted September 17, 2014 Author #15 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Cashew14: Thanks for your reply. How did you book your tour? How many were you on the tour? I think that you need to be at least four and we are only two. Do you remember the name of the tour operator? A bout the other suggestions, thanks!

Go on their website and book from there, but we also had email exchanges. We were only 2 people at the time of booking and when we arrived there, there was another couple. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extra Kim Posted September 18, 2014 Author #17 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I think that´s the company I have been looking at. I will send them a e-mail and see if they allready have people looking to do this tour. We had a helicopter tour booked on our Allure O.T.S cruise but it got cancelled :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
