Yes! We look forward to having you come visit with us. In order to preserve our relaxed and friendly atmosphere, we limit day trip packages to a small number of guests each day. Please call and check for availability.
Do you pick us up at the ship?
Your package includes transportation one way from the resort to the ship. The cruise ships frequently arrive on different days and times than scheduled. Please grab a cab from one of the many waiting at the dock. The cost for the cab should be approximately $10 per person- or less that if there are many people in the cab. Your package includes transportation back to the dock. After you've enjoyed your day, we will drive you back to the dock.
What if the ship arrives at a different time or day than scheduled?
Please notify us as soon as possible if your ship changes the day it will arrive. We will do our best to honor your reservation. We will do everything we can to provide a complete package, but your activities will be based on space available and the amount of time you have onshore.
If your ship arrives at an earlier time than scheduled, please feel free to come immediately to the resort. You are welcome to enjoy the beachfront, hiking trails, snorkeling trails and resort facilities while waiting for your scheduled boat activities.
If your ship arrives later than planned, don't panic. We will do our best to reschedule your activities so that you can still enjoy as much of your package as time allows.
What if I don't want to snorkel? I just want to come sit on the beach while my friend goes diving.
If you aren't interested in snorkeling or swimming, then the Topside Visitor package is for you! You are welcome to explore the resort property, stretch out in a hammock and enjoy relaxing by the ocean.
What is the cost for children?
Children 5 and under who accompany our topside visitors are $10/each plus the cost of any activities & restaurant purchases. Their meals & drinks are not included in the $10. A maximum of 2 children per adult may come at the $10 rate. Parents are responsible for the behavior of their children & must provide supervision at all times unless childcare or Kid's Camp has been arranged. Children who accompany their parents on the boats must have purchased a diving or snorkeling package & be able to swim well without assistance. If you would like to bring young children, children needing assistance in the water, or non-snorkelers with you on the boat, we suggest renting the boat as a family. You can swim, snorkel, fish & sightsee together. Beach-based childcare is available for $20/day. Please call for more information.
