The only one I see on our cruise planner involves much more than our girls want, including a visit to a village. I’d prefer they just be able to kayak.

For safety reasons they only do the guided excursion. How old are your girls? There is a water park, a Zip line and a roller coaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cruise is about 5 months away. I’m wondering if I missed it, or it hasn’t been listed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the tour about 5-6 years ago. We went out around the point to another cove - out of sight but adjacent to the Labadee beach. Ocean kayaking is always tougher than kayaking on a lake! The locals at the next cove had merchandise and we felt quilted into buying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t do kayaking but I did do the jet ski excursion. That was also a guided excursion. We could not go off on our own. We did go about 20 miles and got a view of the Citadel so that was fine with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erinsmom03 Posted July 31, 2023 Author #13 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I just wish there was a kayak excursion that doesn’t involve going to Paradise Cove and a “village” experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can rent them between tours on Nellie's beach. We have rented them on multiple occasions without having to do a tour. Last time we did this, it was ~$20 for a 30 minute rental.

We will have a bungalow at Columbus Cove, so that’s a pretty close location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
