Jungle Tours in Puntarenas off Summit?

[slivers]

I'm on Celebrity Summit sailing Oct. 1, arriving Puntarenas on Oct. 8. I'm looking for pax who are interested in the Jungle Cruise offered by J.D. Watersports, http://www.jdwatersports.com/jungle_river.htm./

 

They offer just the flatbottom boat ride for $49, including lunch, but without transfer from the ship. For $74, you get that plus a 1-hr non-strenuous hike into the rain forest.

(seems worth it to add the hike, given the ride to get there.) So far, only I am ready to sign up (my DW is not interested). Transfer for 1 would be $70, for a total of $144, which just isn't worth it. I'd take the ship's river tour instead ($82).

 

But for 2 the transfers come down to $25, a total of $99/pax, and that includes lunch (ship's tour doesn't). For 4, the total would be just $89/pax and for 8, $79/pax.

 

They have a beautiful website (visit just to view the neat videos). They have a U.S. office, so you can call toll-free and speak to someone in English (I spoke to Jamie Crall).

 

If you want to sign up, just mention this message, and they'll call me and tell me it's a go. Post a comment here, too, please, or at the roll call site for this cruise, http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=44411&page=12&pp=25

 

Thanks.
