Docking at 10 am

[luv2bcruzn]

Our cruise ship docks at 10 am and departs at 5pm, we are interested in doing an excursion that includes snorkling and stopping at Hell's Gate and the Cades reef. Eli's eco tour and seafaris both leave earlier than we dock; does anyone have any suggestions for other tour operators? Thanks

I would be interested in finding later tours too. I even asked Eli's if they could wait until 10:30 if we got a group from our ship to book their tour. They didn't even respond :( I think paddles was the only one leaving later but they don't go to Hell's gate, etc. We'll just go to a beach if we can't find a tour.

Please keep us posted - we are in the same boat (so to speak anyway) we don't arrive until around 10:00 - I too was looking forward to doing Eli's tour - let us know if you hear back. Jan

I just heard back from the people at Eli's Eco tour and if I can get a minimum group of 18 people they will consider starting the tour after our 10:00 am arrival. I imagine their willingness depends on whether they already have bookings for the day you are in port. We will be in Antigua Nov. 4th. If that's your date, please join our group.

Circee,

How much is Eli's charging for that tour? We don't snorkel so wonder if it will be worth going.

CinWin,

I think its around 100. I hope he would give us a discount if we get a large group and we lose an hour of his normal tour but I haven't asked since I don't know if enough people will be interested. I got the impression you did a variety of things on his tour, including some hiking if people are interested.
