I didn't see anything too exciting, what did everyone else find?

We saw a few we were interested in.

One in Puerto Vallarta that was abseiling and canopy adventure - very cool if I can get in shape for it lol.

Arcos sea kayak and snorkel in Cabo

A few others were alright.

 

[lillygator]

wow, I think we will be doing almost everything on our own, especially since most are ages 5 and up. And it seems high to me, maybe because I have been researching and now what the tour companies charge....

Nothing for a 6yo, but since I've been before we were going to do most on our own anyway.

This is the most excitment we have had for a while! Who would have thought that excursions coming out could bring such excitment!

 

[LiserAnn]

In Aruba-they have a submarine trip which, as part of the tour, takes you to a sunken ship. My boys would LOVE that!

We did a sub ride on another cruise so I won't do it.

 

[lillygator]

Spiced up my afternoon, that's for sure!

 

[LiserAnn]

Wow...the dolpin adventure in Acapulco is expensive....$700 for a family of 4?!?! I think I'll pass, as much as that we wanted to do it!!!

 

[LiserAnn]

We did a sub ride on another cruise so I won't do it.

Was it worth it, would you recommend it? The descriptions make it look so great, but you're never sure.

Paradise Beach Adventure
Swim, sunbathe, boogie board or kayak amidst the scenic splendor of Paradise Village Beach Resort in Nuevo Vallarta, and discover a paradise you never knew existed.

Sit back, relax and revel in the breathtaking coastal scenery of Puerto Vallarta during a 30 minute air-conditioned motor coach drive — past the towering Sierra Madre mountains and the glistening Ameca River — to the elegant Paradise Village Beach Resort in Nuevo Vallarta. Boasting warm golden sand, comfortable umbrella-shaded lounge chairs and a variety of fun-filled activities to keep you entertained, the Paradise Village Beach Resort is a 400-acre oasis under the sun, offering something for everyone in your family.

Upon your arrival, savor a sip of a refreshing cocktail and enjoy the day as you desire. Sit back in a comfy beach chair and lose yourself to the panoramic seaside splendor of sand and sea. Sunbathe on the sun-kissed sands and take in the tranquil sounds of the ocean waves, lapping in the distance. Stroll along the breathtaking coastline and get lost in the local flavor, or make a splash in the turquoise ocean water. Plunge down one of two waterslides at the giant resort pool and explore an underwater cave and Mayan-style pyramid. Sail along the gentle ocean current atop a boogie board, kayak amidst the turquoise-blue ocean, or shop amidst the 100 colorful shops and boutiques at the nearby Paradise Plaza. Enjoy an authentic Mexican buffet lunch and then join in a game of beach volleyball with family and friends. After approximately four hours in paradise, take in the sights once more as you embark on your 30-minute motor coach trip back to the ship.

I'm glad we did it. The DGS liked it but I will not do it again. We always try and look for things that DGS can get something out of and yes he did like it.
