"Land & Sea"...any opinions?

[Bruin Steve]

After a lot of debate (and part of that being my wife's newly acquired fear of Stingrays post-Steve Irwin), we've decided on this excursion:

 

>>Land & Sea

3 hours and 30 minutes - $70 pp

This tour incorporates the island's best features above and below the water. Travel in the Nautilus, the most luxurious semi-submarine in the world, and explore the marine paradise of Cheeseburger Reef and the ghostly, ancient shipwrecks of the Cali and Balboa. Our expert narrator and fish-feeding divers make it an adventure to be remembered for a lifetime.

Then step aboard air-conditioned coaches for a memorable tour along the west bay peninsula. A brief stop at the Governor's residence located on Seven Mile Beach, one of the worlds most spectacular, then we're off to visit the world's only green sea turtle farm. Our experienced guides explain all about the tiny hatchlings to the big breeders in their lagoons. You can even pick up a turtle for a photograph. Our next stop is a visit to Hell, so named for its unusual rock formations. At sunset, when the orange sun reflects off the water collected in the pools, it resembles a burning hellfire. This is a favorite stop to mail postcards and have them postmarked from Hell. After a brief stop at one of the island's rum cake centers for an opportunity to sample this island delicacy, you'll return to the cruise ship landing, where you are within walking distance of the downtown shops.<<

 

Anyone ever done this? Any opinions? Thanks...

We did the one in St. Martin and it was rotten, quite honestly. The bus only stopped ONCE the entire day for a picture stop, the guide really didn't talk that much and we really felt jipped because we spent most of the day on the bus. The Atlantis semi-sub was cool (with the exception of the fact we saw 1 pufferfish amongst hundreds of "Sargent Majors", and that's IT the entire time we were down there, LOL), but not worth the $ Carnival charged and blowing the day to get to and from.

 

Hate to be a downer, just giving our opinion.:o
