ladygal4.4 Posted July 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Can you buy excursions once you're on land? Or do you have to pre purchase? I'm considering the bike ride, but not 100% committed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CChamp Posted July 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Never been to Half Moon Cay but normally at most ports you can purchase excursions from the locals when you get off the boat. Not sure how legit or how safe some are so be careful. I once did a horseback riding tour to the top of some falls, about half way there the "Guide" wanted a tip. When I refused he left us there. When we finally found our way back to the beach we saw him rustling up some other suckers. Had to make a run for the boat. Some of the off ship tour operators are really good at what they do and some aren't. CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted July 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Since HMC is Carnival's private island, there will not be any locals there selling tours/excursions. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 2, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Yes...you can wait until you're sure you want to do something...no need to book in advance on HMC. At the "private islands", there is really no need to do excursions at all, unless a pure and simple beach day isn't your thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband is not a beach person and I am. And since he booked this surprise vacation for me months ago (I just recently found out) I'm trying to find an activity that we both will like.

Purvis1231 Posted July 2, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 2, 2016 You will need to book the excursions in advance or on the ship. There are no excursions offered once you are onshore although you can rent beach toys, sun shelters, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakersdozen12 Posted July 2, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Lol, the pure and simple beach day IS the problem. My husband is not a beach person and I am. Same here. Which is why I booked a cabana for HMC. That way when I'm busy swimming and having a grand 'ole time, my husband will have a nice place to relax and read his electronic comic books.
