Looking to do something different on your next cruise? Take a shore excursion! Now, I’m not talking about a run of the mill tour that you are used too. Check out these unique excursions that you probably can’t experience anywhere else.
Helicopter Tour
Sure, it’s great to see a destination by land, but what about by air? It is possible while you are on a cruise thanks to a helicopter tour. This type of tour is great for destinations that aren’t easily accessible, but offer great views from above. Popular tours include seeing rainforests and volcanoes during the ride. While a helicopter tour may be pricey, it’s well worth it for travelers that want to see as much of their destination as they can.
Hike A Waterfall
Not many people can say that they have seen a waterfall up close, let alone hiked up one. Throughout the world there are many waterfalls to hike and cruise ships are taking advantage of this by offering this unique shore excursion to its passengers. One of the best things about this type of hike is that once you are done there’s plenty of water nearby to cool off in.
