Captain Alans Adventure

[akparrothead]

We're heading to St. Martin on the Ruby Princess. I don't really see any excursions which entirely meet our interests on the Princess website. I found Captain Alans website and they offer a snorkel and beach adventure which looks to our liking. Does anybody have an experience with Captain Alan? Good trip? Easy to connect to from a cruise ship?

 

Thanks for the advice.

They get great reviews on Tripadvisor - I think we're going to use them in June!

- and being a Parrothead like me, you might want to check out this store when are you in St. Maarten - I wanted to go last Sept. but we didn't make it - I hope to stop by this June!

we are going to do this in March. Went to tripadvisor dot com and

under "things to do"

I think he was number one in St Martin...many excellent reviews.

Hey yall ,

We too are going with Capt Alan in February and will be sure to come back and report . After speaking with them , correspondance back and forth has been top notch . We did pay a small deposit but based on his reviews we feel no worries just EXCITED ! Merry Christmas !

Do you have to take a taxi to their location? If so, how far and what cost?

When you book with them you can request for them to arrange a taxi, which I did. Below was their response:

 

Transportation:

-----------------

Our location is a 15 minute car ride from the cruise ship terminal. As

requested we will pre-arrange transportation from the cruise ship terminal

to our dock.

 

The rate for this is $12 per person round trip. Transportation has to be

paid to the cabdriver directly in cash. Instructions for this transportation

will be in your reservation we email you when you book us.

 

If desired we can offer transportation for a day itinerary if you want to do

or go somewhere else before or after our trip.

Thanks, this is terrific information. Looking forward to some warm sun and light, suffering a little cabin fever in AK!
