kruzingtogether Posted January 29, 2008 #26 Share Posted January 29, 2008 The mangroves/caves part of the tour was meant to be 3.5-4 hours and was schedule to leave at, so we would have been to Cayo by 1:30 or 2 had the ship anchored in time. Since we were put a bit behind schedule, though, we weren't to the beach until closer to 3:45, so we only had about an hour and a half there. It was a great hour and a half though!!

pamera Posted January 30, 2008 #27 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hey kruzingtogether - thanks for the info. Have a question...The pier? When we were there last year - the pier was new but had no side rails (it was a wood pier jutting out in the water). We're traveling with someone who has mobility issues and sometimes need to stop and hold on the rail. Have there been any improvements or further developments with the pier?

Rare Birdnutty Posted January 30, 2008 #28 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hey kruzingtogether - thanks for the info. Have a question...The pier? When we were there last year - the pier was new but had no side rails (it was a wood pier jutting out in the water). We're traveling with someone who has mobility issues and sometimes need to stop and hold on the rail. Have there been any improvements or further developments with the pier? We were there in mid January - the 13th, I think, on the Pearl. We tendered - I saw no pier at all. I'm thinking that a shore excursion with a mobility-challenged person might be risky. Even if the seas were calm enough to get him/her onto the tender on the way off, there's no guarantee that the weather would be good upon return. That being said, the crew members aboard the ship are always there to extend a hand to help. Unless you mean the pier at Cayo Levantado... That was a simple wooden pier. I don't recall seeing handrails. The camera ate my pictures, so I can't doublecheck. :( Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither the pier that the Cayo tender went to nor the pier the Samana tender went to seemed very accessible to a person with mobility issues ... just basic wooden piers without hand rails...

Lynne79 Posted January 31, 2008 #32 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Kruzingtogether, Could you tell me if they have 2-person kayaks? Or are they only single-person kayaks? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzingtogether Posted January 31, 2008 #33 Share Posted January 31, 2008 They are all 2-person kayaks -- they seemed nice and new. If there is an odd number of people, the "odd man out" goes with the guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun Loving Posted January 31, 2008 #34 Share Posted January 31, 2008 We had just our family of six - and that was no problem for Casa Dorado - email them - it's usually Roberto's wife (English speaking American) who answers and corresponds via email. Tell her the family of 6 who rented the ATV's on Christmas Day referred you-she'll do whatever she can to accommodate you I am certain! Let me know. Good luck!! I'm having difficulty locating the website with information on their ATV tour. Can you help? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinlikeaprincess Posted January 31, 2008 #35 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'm having difficulty locating the website with information on their ATV tour. Can you help? Thanks. I also contacted them about the ATV at this address Roberto Guzman [r_guzman2@yahoo.com] This was the reply: ATV trip from las Galeras to Playa Rincon. You stop at an iguana farm en route to Rincon and have time to swim at the beach/eat a fish lunch before heading back. An ATV trip including the guide, soft drinks is about $90-95 per person, if everyone has their own ATV. If some of you are interested in sharing ATVs. Often 2 people ride them and switch turns driving then the price can come down a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butch6 Posted January 31, 2008 #36 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Be sure to spell the address exactly as shown...the website does not offer info re the ATV's but they are available and will give you price quotes via email. Good luck...again! Yes, it's a bit confusing as there is a company with similiar address in Cabo San Lucas. The web address for Casa Dorado in Samana DR is: http://www.casadoradordr.com The email address is: info@casadorador.com telephone #: 1-829-221-2493 Let me know if you have any trouble contacting them - good luck!
