Carnival Zip Line St. Thomas or San Juan?

[kydesperado]

Will be in both St. Thomas and San Juan in October. Does anyone have any input to which has the best Carnival excursion for zip lines?

 

Thanks in advance!!

We have done the Canopy Tour one in San Juan and enjoyed it. Unfortunately we have not done the one in St Thomas, so I can't compare. I would think they are probably similar, because the 3 we have been on have all been very similar.

 

Have you thought about what else you want to do in either port? For instance if you want to snorkel, I would do that in St Thomas and zip line in San Juan. If you want to see the Forts and Old Town, I would zip line in St Thomas. etc.

 

I'm sure both will be fun.

we did the zip line in san juan. and it was really good. there are 2 zip line excursions in san juan. we did the eco tours zip line. i think it was a little more expensive but is advertised as closer to the boat then the other excursion.

 

if it is a choice between san juan and st thomas i would go in san juan. you are in port longer and after the excursion we had plenty of time to walk around old san juan and enjoy the town. we love the beaches in st thomas so when we go there it is always just a beach day.

My family (but not me, afraid of heights) did the one is San Juan. They had a great time. It was a last minute itinerary change so we had not research done ahead of time.

 

Don't forget bug spray. Pricey on the ship. Lesson learned. I will always pack some, just in case of port changes in the future.

We actually just did this excursion thru Carnival (only way to book through this company) in June and thoroughly enjoyed it. The views were spectacular and it was nice to look out to see the island and water from those heights. The ziplines were more on the tame side, but we had some first timers with us and they felt very comfortable doing all the lines. This place might not be for the very adventurous type rather more for beginners. But I would highly recommend the company and how they handled everything. When we got to San Juan it was actually raining on and off again so it wasn't an option for us. But enjoy whichever you choose!

Excellent tip about bug spray

We did St. Thomas and it was an absolute blast. I would and will do it again. Of course the last one is the best. Look on line for videos of the two. Also if you don't have a go pro rent one from the excursion in St. Thomas

I have done both and they are both excellent.

 

But...there is a lot more to do in St Thomas than there is in PR. I would likely lean toward doing it in PR only because I find seeing the forts extremely repetitive.
