Can anyone recommend the Hike to Seven Sisters excursion with Marella ?

Did this hike years ago (through cruise ship), it was tough, but worth it at the end.

One of my favorite of all Caribbean excursions.  The hike is strenuous, moreso coming back (uphill).  The falls are worth it though.  Wear sturdy athletic shoes (trail runners are best), the trail down and up is difficult to do in sandals.  Also, your shoes are likely to get muddy, it is in a rainforest.  Once you get back to the top, there are locals that will clean the mud off your shoes for $5.  Tip them a little more.  There's a small vendor village at the main parking lot with the usual trinkets and t-shirts.

We did this tour a few years ago, it was very strenuous and muddy.  We were not prepared for this.  Make sure you have plenty of water and good hiking shoes you don’t mind getting muddy

This is one of the excursions we were looking at for a trip this December. On the cruise website, it has an age limitation. Would anyone say this is ok for kids? Wondering if the age restriction is a suggestion based on difficulty or what.

how old are the kids?  I did a hike to honeymoon falls with Tropical adventures back in Jan 2020 and I think age 8 and up would be fine.  Take a look at their website.  Hopefully by then the restrictions will be lifted.  We did the hike to the waterfall, swam for a bit then our guide took the 2 of us to show us various plants and trees (nutmeg, cinnamon...).  It was about 4-5 hours and we were pretty dirty after the hiking part but there are people there that will clean your shoes.
