THE LIGHT - THE ARUBA PHOTOGRAPHY TOUR |
| ARUBA
K. Hartmann - |
| I
had a wonderful, wonderful time on the
ShoreTrips photography tour. I could not
possibly express how great a tour this was! In
fact, I would definately say that of all of the
many various shore excursions which I've
participated in while on cruises, this was by
far the best. I would very much recommend this
tour to anyone who is either interested in
photography - as there are many opportunities
for pictures on this tour, or who just wants to
see the touristy and hidden places of Aruba, or
both! Through this tour I was able to take many,
many pictures, and also really see the entire
island. It was quite easy finding our guide, who
was right on time. It was just a short walk from
our cruise ship. Both guides were knowledgeable
and friendly, especially the photographer. It
was easy to ask questions or advice. I loved the
photographer, as she was very open to our
requests about where we wanted to go to take
pictures, she was very accomodating. She was
also encouraging about my photography and made
the tour fun. Thanks for providing such a
wonderful and fabulous tour!! |

| FULL
DAY JEEP ECO-ADVENTURE |
| ARUBA
T. O'Brien |
| Just
writing to tell you that the eco tour in Aruba
was perfect. The guide arrived at the ship at
the time supplied. Because we were the only
people taking the tour, the guide offered to
take us in his "air-conditioned" jeep
as opposed to us taking our own. We decided to
take our own jeep (that's half the fun!) The
guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and did
not rush us. The lunch that was supplied was
pretty good as far as tour lunches go. My wife
and I had taken a tour like this a couple of
years ago thru DePalm tours and we agreed that
this tour far exceeded what DePalm offers
because we saw more of the island and didn't get
stuck at DePalm's island for half the tour! The
other couple that was with us had never seen
Aruba before and they raved about this tour and
the guide. We will promote this trip to all of
our clients that we send to Aruba and will be
using your company in the future. |

| MORNING
HALF DAY ARUBA TOUR WITH A BEACH STOP |
| ARUBA
B. Sherbanenko - |
| |
| We
really enjoyed our ShoreTrips tour! Our guide
was very knowledgeable, pleasant, and
entertaining. He gave us more of an education
about the island and their culture in 4 hrs than
we could have learned in a week. Baby Beach was
beautiful! Thanks for your help. |

| I
just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed
this trip. Our guide Frank was very
knowledgeable and was able to answer all our
questions. We learned so much about the island,
its people and the economy. I looked at all of
our pictures again yesterday and have some real
pretty island pictures of the popular spots and
just ordinary, but beautiful, home gardens The
beaches were wonderful and I am still amazed
that they are not sand, but coral so therefore
are cool on the skin. I would like to go back
and spend more than one day on the island to
explore more of its interesting sites. Thanks
again for providing such an enjoyable trip that
gave us fond memories of this beautiful island -
Aruba! |

| SCUBA...A
BEGINNER'S LESSON, FOLLOWED BY A REAL SCUBA DIVE. |
| ARUBA
M. Davenport |
| |
| We
were very happy with our excursions with
ShoreTrips instead of using Carnival's
excursions this time. My husband and son took
the "Scuba Lesson" and had a good
time. They chose the 6 hour scuba lesson with
ShoreTrips versus Carnival's 3 hour scuba
training because of price in comparison to time,
etc. They both enjoyed learning to scuba, so
much to the point of checking into certification
back in the states. We all enjoyed Aruba and
would love to come back. |

THE FAMOUS SHIPWRECK, 'ANTILLIA' |

| OUr
vacation was wonderful and our ShoreTrip
excursion was AWESOME! All three of the snorkel
stops were great, the guides were informative
and a LOT of fun! The trip was definately worth
the price, more than worth it. The "Captain
Punch" on the trip was pretty tasty too!! |

| We
had a great time on our vacation and the
ShoreTrips were fabulous! Renee and his crew
were terrific. The Captain's "poison"
(some sort of rum concoction) was not that bad
either. It was a nice small group that my wife
and I thoroughly enjoyed. We think that the
ShoreTrips we booked were of good value as
compared to the cruiselines. When we go on our
next cruise, we will book with ShoreTrips again.
We just enjoyed the smaller groups as compared
to the cattle-call of the ships excursions. |

| SNORKEL...THREE
STOPS, INCLUDING A WRECK AND A SUPERB LUNCH |
| ARUBA
B. Torreyson |

We
had a great trip to Aruba. Our excursion that we
booked through Shoretrips was great, too. The
guides were great and lots of fun. The food was
good. It was one of the best snorkel trips we
have been on. I think we got a good bang for our
buck. I would recommend this trip to other
snorkelers. It is a unique trip being on a real
sail ship not a catamaran.

| We
had lots of fun on our excursion. All nine of us
ranging from 9 yrs. to 51 yrs. loved what I
chose. The 3 Snorkel Stops and Lunch was
great...great crew (knowledgeable and fun), good
snorkeling equipment, great sites for fish,
great boat w/rope swing and good music too. This
was probably our favorite. I liked that it was
longer than the other excursions. We found it
easily and everything was on time. If I have to
complain about anything, it would be that the
rum punch was weak (not enough RUM!) Thank you
for all of your help on the front end. |

| The
ShoreTrip in Aruba was wonderful. I want to go
back! The crew were first class the whole trip.
Their goal was to make everyone feel comfortable
and happy. The meal was very good and the drinks
were outstanding. They had just about anything
you desired. It was definately the most
memorable tour I have been on and the most
talked about with our whole group. Everyone was
so impressed. What a blast!! Thanks for
recommending it! |

again without even thinking about it! |

NOTORIOUS QUADRACERS ADVENTURE |

C. & M. Deneen |
| |
| Wanted
to let you know that we had a great time. The
Quads were easy to ride and it was a blast!!
Everyone in our group of 6 agreed it was well
worth the money. Our tour guide picked us up
right on time and finding our meeting place was
easy. Tony was our guide and he showed us a lot
of interesting places and best of all, we got to
have fun riding the ATV's. Thanks for the great
time! |

did a great job. We were all glad we went and

| "The
Notorious Quadracers Adventure" was great.
Rowal, the guide was fine, what made it
particularly good was it was just the three of
us and the guide. We would use you again.
Thanks, Ted |

I
have to tell you this first off...we booked one
tour with the cruiseline, and I gotta admit, I
did not feel that I got my money's worth with
them. The experience I had with ShoreTrips.Com
was FAR superior than anything the cruiseline
had to offer!
All the tours were booked through our travel
agent, which made things VERY easy on us. This
was the first time we had ever booked a shore
excursion outside the cruiseline, and being able
to book ahead of time and with our cruise
insurance covering us, made us feel a lot
better, so thank you for that option.
Ok, the tour...
One word, AWESOME!!! My wife and I are returning
to Aruba next Fall specifically to take this
tour again! It was the best four hours of the
entire cruise!!! Tony was great, very adaptive
to our small group's needs. I was very happy
that my group was so small (only 4 of us and the
guide, and the other two riders were my
in-laws...and they LOVED IT!!! Tony went out of
his way to make our experience more than a
carbon copy tour, he took time out to use MY
video camera to capture our whole family riding
by him...made for a spectacular home video! I
loved the look of envy we got as we zoomed past
the people crammed into tiny busses! You could
tell that all of them wanted to be where I was!
Thanks very much to Tony!
You guys have been great, and I strongly
recommend you to everybody I know who is
traveling to the islands. Thank you for being in
business, you made my vacation smile! |
