We went on the Jost Van Dyke beach day....home of a great beach bar and the "Pain killer",,,St thomas we went on the St John snorkle and beach day, very cool
Tortola, I'd recommend booking an excursion off-cruise with Aristocat or Patouche Charters. Both are well-reviewed, reliable, and aren't "off on your own." They also aren't the cattle calls that DCL excursions are, so the snorkeling is much better.
For St. Thomas/St. John, I'd recommend an excursion to St. John. If you want to do DCL, I'd look at St. John On Your Own, Trunk Bay, Honeymoon Beach or the Eco Hike. If you're up for something more vigorous, there's a kayak excursion to the mangroves that is cool.
Nope. They can customize depending on the group. They'll go to the Baths, or to Jost Van Dyke, neither of which is a snorkel destination.Are the Aristocat or Patouche Charters just snorkelling? Thanks
Yes, I would as long as they’re comfortable with transferring from the large yacht onto a smaller boat that takes you closer to shore, then you walk the ramp down into the sand-so also be comfortable walking in sand. We actually choose this excursion because my husband had had several knee surgeries, so excursion from boats with the straight ladders never work. If this is a person that generally relies on a wheelchair, but can walk short distances, I’d say no to it. It’s honestly the most beautiful beach I’ve ever been to.
This is just what I was looking for! They are generally mobile around home, shopping, and such, but when we go to Disney, they rent EVCs. They walk around on the ships, but I knew they couldn't do the straight ladders up and down into the boats for the snorkeling excursions.
Do you get chairs in the excursion or do you have to rent them?
Thanks!
What was the lunch options with the jost van dyke excursion? We have this booked for our next cruise
Nope. They can customize depending on the group. They'll go to the Baths, or to Jost Van Dyke, neither of which is a snorkel destination.
Just looked and looks like Jost Van Dyke not available with them for our date. Such a shame as recommendation
Don’t know who else to look at as not been before
