Approved Independent tours

[Scoobyneal]

Has anyone purchased an approved independent tour that is approved by the government directly at the port? Specifically, Barbados, St Lucia or Dominica? Sailing on the Equinox 3/13 and interested in beach or snorkeling.

I don't have a response to your question... but I'll be on the Equinox 3/13 sailing with my mom and SIL.  None of us live there now, but we are from NJ.   🙂.  See you on board!

See you both on board. We're on the March 13th Equinox sailing as well.

 

We have non-ships excursions booked in Dominica and Barbados. 

 

If you check out the Roll Call you'll find a lot of options for booking ahead. No reason to book at the port.

 

Silver Moon Catamarran in Barbados seems to still have room. Somebody just booked them this week. Others are reporting being fully booked.

 

If you find a non-ship excursion ahead of the sailing the company will state if they are "government approved".

 

It seems most reputable companies have complied with whatever the requirements are and are government approved. 

 

Admittedly, I am too much of a planner to wait until we're in the port.
