Freeport: Bahamian Brewery

on
January 18, 2021

When looking at Freeport I didn’t find that there were very many excursion options. A lot of people were going to the Grand Lucyan Resort. The Bahamian Brewery tour and tasting sounded more my style.

I didn’t book an official tour. I took a cab and paid for the tour…

Christmas on Carnival

on
December 14, 2020

If you haven’t been on a cruise in December, I highly recommend it. The ships are decorated the entire month so you don’t have to actually be on the ship on Christmas day to have a Christmas cruise.

I go in early December so it doesn’t impact my Thanksgiving…

Grand Turk: Hop-On Hop-Off Bus

on
November 16, 2020

In Grand Turk I was looking for some form of transportation without paying $100 to rent a golf cart or catching multiple taxi cabs. The Grand Turk “Hop on Hop off” shuttle, which is more of a city tour with stops than a true Hop-On Hop-Off bus, is available…

Cozumel Bar Hop Tour

on
November 9, 2020

If you haven’t visited Cozumel’s east side, I highly recommend it. This side of the island is largely uninhabited and totally different from the port and surrounding areas. The reason for this is the east side beaches are where loggerhead and green turtles lay their eggs from March through…

Roatan: Glass Bottom Boat

on
October 26, 2020

Glass bottom boat excursions are available in many ports. I picked Roatan because they had limited excursions available that interested me.

I had my eye on the Atlantis Submarine excursion in Cozumel which goes 100 feet below water. It looks like fun but I want to start out with 4…

Jamaica: Dunn’s River Falls

on
October 19, 2020

Climbing Dunn’s River Falls is my must-do in Jamaica. The total area of the falls is 600 feet long and 180 feet high. This is the location where the British defeated Spanish invaders from Cuba in the 1657 Battle of Las Chorreras.

Dunn’s River Falls can be done from…

Grand Cayman: Stingray City

on
October 12, 2020

Stingray City is a must-see in Grand Cayman. I try to be careful when picking excursions that include wildlife in captivity. I prefer to contribute to conservation rather than exploitation. I was pleased to learn that these stingrays are not held captive. They showed up decades ago when fishermen…
