Excursion Suggestion - Family of Five?

[Mike320]

Hi,
We're off on 1/22 to the Magic (eastern) and were wondering if you had any suggestions for an excursion for a family of five.

We're 45 and we have 3 kids....boys 9/8 and girl 5.

They all swin very well and love the beach. We could do just about anything but suggestions are very welcome!

Thanks! Mike

We were a family of nine. We went to the beach in St Thomas. In St Maarten some of went on the Regatta (guys) the rest of us went around the island and the beach. There are 2 great beachs in St THomas. Magens Bay which is great for a beach day and Sapphire Beach which was wonderful for snorkeling. Each can be done without an excursion. The taxis (large open air truck types hold a about a dozen people) are at the dock when you get off the boat. It is about 6.00 a person. There is a cost to get into Magen Run. I believe it was a couple dollars each. The scenary of the island is spectacular as well from the taxis.

Hey Mike-

Our family is doing the Doubloon Sail and Snorkle with our 9 year old boy and 5 (almost 6) year old girl on St. Thomas. We are doing this after the many high recommendations that it got from this board.

MCazer is also doing this at the same time as us with her family.

Go to their web site:

See what you think- we think that it's going to be awesome!

Hi Fan Mom,
I'll go check it out! The Passporter Guide to DCL gives it a 9 out of 10! Thanks! Mike

No problem! Also, MCazer's kids are the same ages as ours- 9 and 6 I think. So there will be kids of the same age together which should be fun!

Is it the 22nd yet?!

I'll talk with my wife..I didn't realize you guys were on the same cruise..I guess I should have realized that from all our posts!

Cannot wait! Should be awesome.

Happy New Year! Mike

The boys might love Captain Nautica's or the Atlantis Submarine ride.
