Anyone done landsailing before?

[FlyingAnchor]

Hi All! Just booked a landsailing excursion in Bonaire for our upcoming cruise. I've never done this particular activity before. Has anyone else here? I am curious about how likely it is I'll roll over in the cart, haha! Just a little nervous  But overall, looking forward to the excitement of this excursion. Thanks!

I did it earlier this month and it was amazing and really fun! There are not many places to do it outside of New Zealand and I'm glad I booked it:) Although it seemed a little intimidating and slightly scary, it was remarkably easy and you will feel comfortable after the 1st lap or 2. You are enclosed in a roll cage in the cart so that provided an extra level of safety that I welcomed. The owner is Canadian but has lived all over the world and provided excellent instructions and safety advice. I booked through the cruise line but many people on tours that day booked directly or through trip advisor and saved quite a bit of money over what I paid. They have a comfy shuttle van that runs back and forth to the port every hour or so during busy season.

I’m 60 as is my hubby and we did it in February. We had a blast!  I’m out of shape and fluffy and was worried but as the vendor tells you, “just let go of the rope”.

I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did:) I love doing unique, safe, and adventurous stuff!

I am 75, and out of shape, but truly enjoyed this when we were there in Feb.

 

Do book this one direct and not through the ship.  

 

Also when you get there, rent a Go-Pro and get great video to bring home.

 

Great group of people.

I don't know why but I never returned to this post after making it. Thanks everyone for your replies and I hope future cruisers find them helpful! 

We had a BLAST on this excursion. To this day, it is our favorite excursion we've ever done on a cruise sailing. I recommend it to everyone anytime I hear they are going to Bonaire!

What was the name of the company?  If you dont mind me asking.

 

We are going to Bonaire in 2 weeks.

 

DH would like to do something together, but I dont do well with water, so snorkeling is out for me.   This may just be the thing we can do together and have a great time.

Bonaire Landsailing Adventures - www.landsailingadventures.com. This is the perfect alternative to something in the water!

Bonaire Landsailing Adventures is correct. Google is your friend:)

We booked direct and it was half the cost of going through Celebrity.  For $10 they pick you up at the dock. We’ve been before and had a blast, going back with our adult children!

What are the odds you can just drive up and do be able to do this without reservations?

[blokartsailing]

On a cruise ship day, not very good! Best to book ahead to be guaranteed a spot. They get super busy when the cruise ships are in town.

And that is when we will be there.   I would like to do it, but my wife doesn't seem convinced.   

We will likely drive by and if there is a spot, then we'll consider ourselves lucky and if not, then move on.
