Help! Our excursion was cancelled this morning due to WIND, first timer and have no plan, any ideas?

We are due to dock in 3 hours and we had a plan to kayak/snorkel but due to wind conditions, we are no longer. I am concerned even a beach day may be unpleasant today? For others that have been, what can we do to "see" this island while here?  Thanks!!

1.  Go to the Shore excursions desk and see what they have available for land tours

2. Get off the ship and there are probably hundreds of locals who would love your business.

There are many interesting land tours....try going up the tram to the top of the mountain for lunch and a drink, that's a fun place, as well as taking a taxi to downtown and explore the town's history. If you are into Kmart, there is one up the block from the dock (if you are docking at Havensite), to pick up necessities or souvenir tsotchkes

Which kayak snorkel tour? The wind doesn't usually stop the mangrove kayak snorkel. The other tour goes across open ocean.

Some of the beaches are in protected coves (Coki, Magens, Secret Harbor) so those may be calmer.

It was a Coral Cay excursion, so yes over the open sea. Your posts have been helpful!  Thx!

The contact for the other company is VI Ecotours at 3407792155. They may have a tour starting soon.

If no tours, I would just take a taxi over to the cable car before the crowd hits, get up there and see how the weather changes.   If not snorkel weather, book a taxi guide for a quick tour, as all the private vendors will probably be booked.
