SuperGrace2002 Posted April 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2013 ok i saw that you can pay $19.99 to do a nature walk excursion on HMC - does this mean you aren't allowed to explore the island on your own? i just dont see paying $20 to do a nature hike -was hoping just to explore it on my own.

taszmom Posted April 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'm guessing it's a "guided" tour. IMHO I would not be wandering around an island on my own. Anything can happen. You can't call for help and the ship will leave you behind. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenMo Posted April 6, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 6, 2013 HMC is the private island, so you wouldn't have to worry about being "bothered" by the locals. Very few people live on that island. There is no town there. It is small and I would have no problem walking around on my own. I would not pay someone to show me around. Maybe the guide will explain the flora and fauna, etc. If you want to pay for that, it would be worth the money. But just to walk around on your own? No...I wouldn't pay for that.

OCruisers Posted April 6, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 6, 2013 No way I'd pay for a "nature walk" there. :rolleyes: You can walk around on your own all you please. LuLu ~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeys3girlz Posted April 6, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I too rented clamshell and I also found it HOT! It was $12. DH and I eventually pulled beach chairs under shady trees (far down beach) and this was FREE, breezy and we got great tans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveJake Posted April 6, 2013 #10 Share Posted April 6, 2013 When we went to Princess private Island we walked up the coast line for a good hour. Around the bend we found people from the ship, could tell by the towels, without any clothes on (thought we were back at Orient Beach). While I hung back DH kept walking. Very nice people, came right over and talked to him without grabbing a towel, so were propably used to all natural. So take that walk, but be carefull what you find!

gusandgidgetsmom Posted April 6, 2013 #12 Share Posted April 6, 2013 There are paved paths all around the island with signs pointing to different places and signs talking about the history of the island. If you stay on the path it just does a big circle around the island. Beautiful place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
