PV Jungle Tour Questions

[Tom O.]

I booked the Jungle Tropical Paradise tour before I realized that it called for moderate activity. My wife has difficulty walking any distance and if the surface is uneven, it is even more difficult for her. We could cancel I suppose, I don't know what NCL policy is about that.

But I was wondering if it was possible to go on the excursion and not do the walking part. Is it possible to stay near the bus and avoid the hike? That way the rest of our party, who is fit, can still do the hike and rejoin her afterward. Is this possible?

yes you can not do the hike,,,

the hike is horrible,, steep uneven rocks etc

you can stay back where it starts at the resturant, or by the river its a nice area to relax in,,

Thank you for the informative reply. Very helpful. Could you tell me if the hike was worth it? What would we miss by not taking it?

Tom O; I am glad I found you. I have used your site about the Coral/Island deck plans so much and I have referred that site to a ton of people on the Princess board. I cannot begin to tell you how valuabale that site has been. I thank you very, very much.

it was a nice experience to see the back drops of the area,

if you do it , wear tennis shoes !! and bring BUG SPRAY!!!!!!!! i got bit so bad.

for the price it was a good excursion, they also stop at los arcos to take pics , and to see the man with the iguana, and then on the way back you stop in town for shopping, it was worth doing it once,

i wouldnt do it again, since im not a hiker, but i would try it ,

 

since your wife has problems with the hiking part, if she likes nature you can just sit and relax there, or she can while you hike, the hike was about 1 hour total i believe,

you can also swim in the river but its COLD,, some people did it, they were crazy,,

if you have any other questions please email me anytime ..

 

take care and happy holidays

You are welcome. I haven't been posting very much lately. My next cruise is in a couple of weeks on NCL, which I am trying for the first time.

Thanks again for the information. I am sure my wife won't be able to do the hike, I guess we will decide after we get there if I will stay there with her by the restaurant, or go with my teenage daughters on the hike. Thanks for the tips on bug spray, etc.
