KrakedMask Posted October 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2019 We will be there on Monday on the Sunrise and plan on renting a golf cart for the day. How safe is the island if we wanted to head to the downtown area on the other side of the airport? My fiancee and I are both in our 30's and will be going with another couple on the cart so we should have safety in numbers and I'm sure the island is fine but you can neve rbe too sure. Also what are the best shops away from the port area to go and get interesting stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crewsweeper Posted October 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Be sure to stop in Cockburntown at either the Sandbar or John's Ocean view for lunch. Drive up to the lighthouse, but no real reason to walk around inside as you can't climb the lighthouse and views are decent from the parking area. Stay off the chintzy zip line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samrothstein Posted October 30, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I too am renting a golf cart on Monday - can’t wait! Plan to drive to the light house, Pillory Beach, Governors Beach and maybe a little Cockburn Town exploring. I’ve never heard of anything to cause concern for safety in GT, but common sense and “city smarts” should be used anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bad is the zipline? One couple in the group of us is going on that horse back riding, snorkeling, zip line tour and keep asking us to join them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted October 30, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Unless they've significantly changed it, you're just zipping between some tall poles. .No vegetation, no downhill or over valleys. You do overlook 98 % of the island but having zipped in other places, this one isn't long nor interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunnerGirl26.2 Posted November 10, 2019 #10 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I just rented through Trip Advisor/Viator for 12/31. Wet Money had none available. Max Carts I think is the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wet Money was great. Prepaid online and was driving the cart about 5 minutes after getting off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
