What to do and who to do it with?

[irenen]

I am looking for some advice to save me days of research. First time Caribbean cruise in January 2012 ( Celebrity Solstice) for DH and I, and although I have read the whole brochure about excursions, I am still not sure what to choose.

 

DH ( aged 62) and I (60) are both in excellent health. I'd love to hear from anyone who has taken a tour which they LOVED and would recommend. Did you do it with the ship's tour or an independent operator? We don't want to do diving, or anything too strenuous such as very difficult hiking but small hills are OK. Not interested in golf or pirates. Also don't want to spend a whole day lying on a beach but would prefer something where we see/learn something new and memorable.

 

I will be posting this same question on 3 other destination pages so apologies if you come across my post more than once.

 

Thanks so much in advance for your wealth of experience.

I am 60 and one of the things that I love to do is ziplinning. Thrilling and not overly strenuous. It usually includes some nature trails and sightseeing.

I also look forward to seeing some ruins which will also include some hiking and history.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

In Roatan there are several outfits that offer private tours, Victor Bodden is the most popular here. The price is pretty reasonable considering that you choose what you want to do and have a driver/escort all day long. They can give you an informative sight seeing tour, show you scenic sights, take you to a nice beach or restaurant, or however else you want to spend your time. Their sight allows you to indicate what you are interested in when you reserve, but you can change it the day you arrive if you want, or if the weather dictates it.
