Reviews from Travel Agents
 
VICKIE..."I am a Cruise Planners agent, and I had a large group of people sailing on the Grand Princess February 10, 2007. We had scheduled several of our shore excursions with Shore Trips. I wanted you know how impressed I was with each of the tour operators that took care of us. We had over 50 people on most of our shore excursions, they were courteous, patient and very well organized. This made my job and coordinating everything must easier. Thank you again for the great job!!!"

BETH..."The group is raving about their experiences with Shoretrips. We have a new website in the makings and will have a blog section. I'm going to encourage everyone to write in about Shoretrips so others will know how great you're service has been. I'll also send our headquarters a note telling them to spread the word they've made the right decision by endorsing your company!"

CINDY..."Yes, I did talk to my clients when they returned from their cruise. They were absolutely pleased with all the "white glove" service they received from Shoretrips. They got to do things that no cruise ship excursion could offer. They would highly recommend Shoretrips to all of their friends. You have got a great product, and I will keep on selling Shoretrips."

BARBARA: "I like to say thanks for taking care of me with my booking -- fly fishing in Ketchikan. I gave wrong information to you originally. Your employees caught my mistakes and brought it to my attention. They cancelled the wrong info and found space for my clients on the trip they wanted. You've made my day, and their trip!

It's great to work with a company that realizes we are all human on occasion. Thanks again and I look forward to doing more business with ShoreTrips. Kudos to all of you."

KATHLEEN: "Just a quick note to offer some feedback on the excursion my client went on. My clients enjoyed the Volcano excursion immensely. The guide was professional, knowledgeable & helpful. This excursion far exceeded their expectations. Great job! Additionally, an agent can use your services with confidence knowing your product is superior."

J.BOTHROYD: "My clients raved about all the shore trips I booked through you in Alaska. There were 5 clients taking different excursions at each port and all of them worked out fantastic. As always I commend Shore Trips for excellent service and I continue to book my clients with you in full confidence."

B. PRIM: "I booked our family on several shore excursions while we were traveling on the Queen Mary 2 this past month. All shores excursions were wonderful. The people were friendly, transfers were timely, and snorkeling and diving trips were wonderful. Please tell Julie "thank you" for all of her help. We had a great time and I will keep you in mind in the future."

V. ABEL: "It is difficult to get people away from the poor product that the cruise lines offer, but they are always happy with their trips through you."

L. HALL: "Unfortunately the weather cancelled our other trip in Cozumel....and upon return was surprised and delighted to read, in my email, that you had already credited my credit card; That is certainly prompt!!!! Thank you!!! I willl recommmend your company on our message board. We were all thoroughly impressed and will
certainly book with you on our next trip. Blesssings to you and your company."

L. KISS: "Thanks for the Very Prompt Commission Checks!"

M. MCMASTERS: "I have told everyone in our office about ShoreTrips and the great service that you provide. I look forward to doing future business with you!!"

J. CARRAHER: "For all of the times that I have used your company, I have received great feedback. I will continue to book your excursions for all of my cruise and tour package clients. Thank you!"

E. KERALLA: "I thought Barry was great to get the vouchers to me and my clients on such short notice. I'm glad he answers the phone on Saturday! Not only that, but this trip was his suggestion and he hit the nail right on the head for an activity for teenagers!"

C. NILSEN: "I'd like to express my deepest appreciation to Barry & Shoretrips. My clients had booked the horseback riding tour in P.V. for the morning departure on Oct. 29th. Their flt. had been cancelled due to the fires in Calif. so they missed the ship in Long Beach & had to fly to Puerto Vallarta to meet the ship on Wed. Barry called me when they didn't show up & I explained to him the situation. Apparently, the tour operator accommodated them on the afternoon excursion. My clients said that was the best part of their whole trip. The hosts at the ranch were wonderful & the luncheon was fabulous They were as equally pleased with the snorkeling, catamaran tour in Cabo. I just wanted to express to you how much I appreciated hearing that Shortrips Tour Operators had done such a wonderful job. The rest of their cruise didn't go so well, in fact, I think they will never cruise again! I am extremely grateful to your Co. for coming through for them & will definitely recommend ShoreTrips to all my clients & other Travel Agents. Thank you so much for a job well done. It's nice to know that my clients are in such good hands with ShoreTrips.com."
 
 
Reviews From Our Travelers About Us
 
Thanks for a very easy way to view and book my excursions,also a trouble free way to print out my prepaid vouchers,i am looking forward to a good holiday cruising round Alaska glaciers and the trips i have booked with CRUISE TRIPS,they look to be be very interesting. Thank you very much ROLAND from Shaw England

L. Winkworth...I booked 3 ShoreTrips for our cruise and they were all wonderful! Billy was our guide in Jamaica and he was great. He was friendly and professional and asked what we would like to see. He took us to a good area for shopping and helped us with the bargaining. He then took us to the Half Moon Resort where we truly enjoyed a lovely afternoon on the beach. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, we didn't feel like interlopers since we weren't staying there. My husband and son took the scuba lesson in Grand Cayman and said it was the best adventure they have ever had. Both of them were a little trepidatious but the staff was so friendly and professional that they were put at ease. We did the Royal dolphin swim in Cozumel and it was amazing. It was worth the extra money as we only had 7 in our group and 2 dolphins. We never felt rushed and we were really able to interact with the dolphins.

All of the information and advice given by Shore Trips was accurate and helpful. The rest of the cruise passengers had to stand in long lines and wait to get to their excursions but we zipped right through and got to our trips. I will highly recommend Shore Trips and will definitely use you again. Thank-you for making our cruise truly memorable!

J. Mozian...This was our 8th time using your company and we cant say enough good things about your tours in which you book and the quality of the service from your vendors......Thanks again and I cant wait to cruise again and use your services....


P. Short...We took two trips through you, the dune buggy rides in Cozumel and the Costa Maya Mahahual. This was our first time ever booking outside of the ship's excursions, so needless to say we were not quite sure how this would all work out. I can honestly begin by saying you have us spoiled, these were two of the best excursions we have ever been on, and we have taken several cruises. Needless to say, we will book through you again and look forward to working with you guys on our next cruise, which we are planning at the current time.

These sure trips were fabulous. We were sooooo pleased with the small groups. In Cozumel, we had a total of four dune buggies, not a long line like you would typically see with the excursions that the ship books. Our tour guides were extremely pleasant to work with, two great guys, and they provided us a fabulous meal. We will still talk about the fun that we had. Matter of fact, Cozumel is one of our ports of call for our next cruise. We are going with some friends and told them that we will do this excursion over, just so they can experience it. This was truly top notch. Our second excursion was another fabulous one. We met our tour guide, Carolyn, and we could not have asked for a better guide. She really really knows the area. Once again, another small group, just one other family, so a total of nine people. We had a wonderful time on this excursion and have some fabulous pictures that we will have for years to come, which we still share with everyone.

We have recommended you to our friends and family, and we truly look forward to using your services again. I don't think we will be booking through the ship anymore, we are spoiled now. Thanks for helping us make a vacation extra special.

D & J. Bryan...My husband and I used Shore Trips for three different excursions while we were on our Alaskan cruise. We went whale watching in Juneau, rafting through an eagle preserve in Skagway and bear watching in Ketchikan. All three trips were great! The instructions that were given us on who and how to contact our tour guides was invaluable, not to mention easy and convenient. Our ship was running a little late at times but the guides were still there waiting for us. The companies you had us using were smaller and gave us a much more personal touch.

L. & B. Brim...Just a quick note to thank the Shore Trips for everything that you went out of your way to do for everyone to make a better vacation for us. Shore Trips passed every test that you could think of. Everything went off without a "hitch". We thank you very much for all your efforts and time. We WILL be using Short Trips again in the near future.


C. Sutton...Our trip to Cabo was fantastic. If you don't have a good time in Cabo you did something wrong. It's almost impossible to go there and not have a good time. We booked, catamaraning/snorkeling, sea kayaking/snorkeling, swimming with the dolphins, scuba diving and deep sea fishing through your company (Shoretrips) Best thing I ever did. There were directions on how to get to where we needed to be for each excursion and any special instructions on the voucher so we knew what to expect and could more fully enjoy each activity. Also the operators were expecting us and the payment was already taken care of so we felt very VIP.
All the activities were fun and but we got a special treat for the sea kayaking adventure. Our particular outing was under booked so we got the guide all to ourselves. He took us places he hadn't even been this season. (I think he enjoyed himself too) We had two bays and beaches all to ourselves. It was paradise... pure heaven. It was so fantastic that I am thinking of spending the money and booking all my excursions privately in the future.

K. Guerrrier...We just returned from our first cruise to the Mexican Riviera and we had a blast. Initially I tried to book our excursions with the cruise line but they weren't very helpful in answering my questions so I decided to go with Shore Trips since my travel agency worked with them. Everyone at Shore Trips was great. They answered all my questions and every one of our excursions was awesome. We swam with the dolphins at the water park in Puerto Vallarta, went horseback riding in Mazatlan and rode ATV's and went rock repelling in Cabo San Lucas. Our guides JC and Fernando in Cabo San Lucas were phenomenal. Very, very friendly and alot of fun. I think this was our favorite excursion just because of them. A big thank you to Shore Trips and your staff for making our vacation so wonderful.

M. Grasch...You are welcome to read my shore excursion trip reports in those individual excursion but believe me both were outstanding. It is kind of cool getting off the ship with the 'cattle call' and seeing a sign with your first and last name on it as you are whisked off to your excursion.

Trip was fantastic. Already recommended you guys to anyone that goes on the cruise. Saved about $200 by booking with you instead of letting the cruise line do it. Thanks!

D.Babcock..."I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much we appreciated the fact that our refunds were in our accounts before we even got home from our cruise. We were really unhappy when we were unable to tender into Grand Cayman. We were SO looking forward to our stingray trip and our private horseback ride. It's nice to know that excellent customer service is alive and well somewhere out there!"

C. Hull..."Thank you all so much for helping make our vacation to the Caribbean a blast!! We took a Carnival cruise and scheduled all of our shore excursions through Shoretrips....and thank goodness we did!!! We ended up having a fabulous time, and even ended up having to tone down our excitement about our trips around other cruise guests who used the cruise lines excursions. We had no waits, no confusion, and what's more...no GROUPS!! We did the horseback ride and swim in Jamaica and it exceeded my expectations 10 fold. We had our own guide and got to go out just the three of us, leaving from a beautiful ranch...it was so much better than the one we booked through the cruise line last year. We also booked our scuba dive certifications in Grand Cayman and Cozumel...that was perfect!!! It was one on one attention and I felt like I was really travelling in style.

In addition, the cruise line changed one of our tender times so that we had a conflict with one of our excursions, the parasailing in Cozumel, and you all reimbursed me immediately without arguement. One of the best things about booking through you all, besides the individual attention and cheaper prices was that everything was all prepaid and there was no discussion with vendors. It was amazing, and you all are the best - we will certainly be using you for our next vacation!!"


M. LaBarge "On our recent Royal Caribbean cruise we used Shoretrips for all 4 of our excursions. I would guess that we saved close to $500 by booking through Shoretrips rather than booking the virtually identical excursions thorugh Royal Caribbean. The guides that had were all first rate and the transportation was always clean, safe and reliable. In fact, I could always spot the Shoretrips van because it was the newest and cleanest in the parking lot. I also appreciated the fact that on most of our excursions the guides were not angling for a tip and in one instance the guide disappeared before I could give him a tip. I have recommended Shoretrips to several others and will not hesitate to use them on future cruises."


"ShoreTrips was a bright spot for this trip. Thanks for making this happen, with a smile. I know that you can't see a smile through the phone, but you can definitely hear it. Customer service was outstanding. The cruise lines could and should take lessons from you."

"When our trip in Cozumel was cancelled due to high winds and seas, you had managed to refund our money before we got back to the ship. Finding that email on my computer was amazing."

"Just a brief note to thank you and your staff so very much for the excursions that were booked for us during the week of October 16-23. All went smoothly, even my credit for an island that was cancelled on our cruise. I will not hesitate to use your services again and to tell everyone I can about your company. My boasting began while on the cruise and will continue for sure."

"My sister and I took advantage of a fabulous trip with your company. Two of our traveling companions booked this same trip from the cruise ship. As we compared the results, you had by far the better service and experience. What a rememberable experience!"

"We had a wonderful time on the cruise. Shoretrips was the way to go and I would recommend it to anyone taking a vacation."

Seidenstricker Family: Thank you for your part in helping us put together the shore excursions. The timing worked in every case without a problem and everyone had a great time. Highlights included: Scuba diving in Grand Cayman, Stingray City in Grand Cayman, Tulum ruins in Cozumel, Swim with the Dolphins. Martha Brae Rafting and Dunn River Falls. In other words, each excursion was great and the people that went on each one thought theirs was the best. Again, thanks for your help in creating a fun and memorable trip.

Warner Family: "I wanted to thank you for all the help you provided me in selecting just the perfect excursion for my family. The stingray/snorkel trip in the Grand Caymans was a blast. It was the highlight of our cruise. We did not
get to do the island tour because of the hurricane but I was pleasantly surprised to see it already credited to my credit card. I will use and recommend you to all my friends in the future."

M.Gingras: "Thank you so much for making this reservations an easy transaction. Your website is laid out very well, very clear and very easy to understand."

S.Kindler: "Our tour guide was sad that many people do not book their own tours outside the cruise ship. The argument was that if something went wrong on a non-cruise ship sponsored event, the ship would not wait. Not True. As a former travel agent, I am passing the word that your company is the greatest!"

Tour Group: "I just wanted to let you know that the shore trips that our group of 16 booked through your company were totally awesome and I will definitely pass on your company to anyone I know that will be going on a cruise."

JE Leitz: The excursion we booked through ShoreTrips was very enjoyable. All the information we were sent was complete, accurate and informative. My husband and I both feel that we received a good value for our money. In fact, I personally know that others who booked this same excursion through other sources paid much more. Kudos to ShoreTrips for providing excellent service and value!

Rick and Laura: "Shoretrips.com was definately worth it in all aspects. The most people in our group, out of the three shoretrips we did, was eight. There were probably three hundred in the carnival trip. One of our trips was just us and the tour guide. On all of the trips, if the tour guide saw a bunch of people in a certain area from the cruiseship, we would go somewhere else just as cool, but out of the way. I would definately recommend shoretrips.com to anybody who wants to get away from the crowd, but still have a blast on their vacation."

R. Kuebler: "We LOVE shoretrips!!!!!!! We cruise approximately 3 times a year and will use you from NOW on. A friend suggested we try you. The trips were not crowded like the other trips we have taken from the ships. The other thing that is great is that they don't cancel the trips like the ships tend to do if they do not have a full boat. I can't say too many wonderful things. Keep up the good work!"

C. CARDILLO: "Signing up was so easy and everything ran so smoothly."

T. Hill: "I would recommend ShoreTrips to anyone in the future. It was so much better to know what we were doing ahead of time; it allowed us to avoid scheduling and chaos when we got there."

D. RICHARDSON: "We just want to thank you for your referrals, to our ShoreTrips in Alaska. We just returned from our cruise and were so pleased with the professionalism and the knowledgable guides of each trip. The ease of booking online and the quick response was appreciated."

R. MATTES: "Your company was wonderful. Prior to booking the excursion, I called to ask a few questions and Barry was very helpful and gave wonderful recommendations."

J. GALLANT: "You folks at ShoreTrips did a great job in setting this up, providing directions and so forth-- hats off! I'll be sure to use you again in the future and recommend your company; your selection and pricing is SOOO much better than the cruise lines! Thanks for helping make the highlight of my girls vacation!"

K. Grau: "ShoreTrips saved me a lot of time and headache and the cost was more than reasonable. Thanks to all involved and I look forward to working with you again in the future."

P. CURCIO: "In a word "FUNTASTIC"..everything that Barry said was surprisingly true! Not only were our trips prepaid, but we had the luxury of walking ahead of literally hundreds of people from the ship tours. We were treated like royalty."
 
 
2 SNORKEL STOP CAPTIVATING CATAMARAN TO STINGRAY CITY
GRAND CAYMAN...Cherry - 8/7/2007
 
The trip was great!! We had VIP service and great pictures taken of us. There were maybe 25 people total on the catamaran. Better than sharing with a huge group of people on the cruise ship. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
 
 
GRAND CAYMAN M.Pearson - 1/16/2007
 
Our trip to Stingray City on the catamaran was great. It was exactly as described. We chose to book through you instead of the ship's excursion and we were so glad we did. The ship excursion boats were also there. There had to been at least 100 people on their boat waiting for a turn to pet the stingrays. There were only about 30 people on our boat. The crew was great and we had a lot of interaction time with the stingrays.
 
 
3 SNORKEL STOP CATAMARAN TO STINGRAY CITY
GRAND CAYMAN G. Breeden - 3/13/2007
 
I wanted to let you know, the excursion I booked in Grand Cayman was great. The location was convenient and easy to find. We had 9 people in our party, we all had a great time. There were other boats with people piled on; ours had about 30-35 people, but was not crowded. We are planning another trip to Bahamas or to the Caribbean next year, and we will try to book another trip with you.
 
 
A BEACH DAY AND LUNCH IN ANGUILLA
ST. MARTIN R. Mills - 12/2/2004
 
Awesome trip! Had a great time! The guide was the highlight of our trip, I hope you pay that man well, he is such a riot! We will be visiting Anguilla again someday!
 
 
A DELIGHTFUL DAY ON A PRIVATE ROATAN CAY
ROATAN...J ohn L - 4/24/2007
 
The shore excusrion as amazing. My wife and I were on a 7-day cruise. Roatan was our second port stop and became our most favorite of the entire cruise.
We were met as we left the ship by one of the guides. We took a twenty minute van trip and then got on a small ferry boat. This place was unbelievable and is truly paradise. The staff were so nice and accomidating. The facility was so nice and clean as any place I have ever visited. The snorkeling was awesome. We also swam in the pool and kayaked. Our lunch was a shrimp salad and was very good. We all were able to eat together at a long dining room table. The waitstaff were so nice.
 
 
ROATAN M.Vogel - 4/18/2006
 
Roatan Cay was amazing. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get away from the crowds. The resort was spotless and our hosts were more then gracious. I did not want to go back to the boat. This was my first time using Shoretrips and I will never book trips any other way. You customer service and vendors are impeccable.
 
 
A GUIDED JEEP TOUR OF COZUMEL'S BEACHES
COZUMEL...A. Angell - 8/22/2006
 
I recently booked a Jeep excursion in Cozumel for August 11th for my husband and my honeymoon. I just wanted to let everyone know that we had an AMAZING time on this trip!! Our guide was absolutely phenomenal!! She had so much information about the island and the people that we felt like we lived there too! Any questions we had, she immediately knew the answer. Our group only consisted of four people total so we had the opportunity to learn and see so much of the island. We loved the smaller groups because it was very personal and we didn't feel like we were being herded around like the cruise ship excursions. The drinks at the bar were fabulous and the view of the ocean while sitting in a hammock drinking a margarita is indescribable! The chicken lunch was awesome and we had a great time talking to some of the townspeople. Snorkeling was also a fun experience and we got to see tons of different marine life. She would also tell us what we were looking at and she was able to answer any questions we had. This trip was by far the best excursion we have EVER been on and I would do it all over again in a heart beat! Everyone should take the opportunity to go on this trip when they are in Cozumel! I wanted to say THANKS for providing an amazingly wonderful experience for us!!
 
 
A PRE CRUISE OLD AND NEW SAN JUAN TOUR, INCLUDING BACARDI RUM FACTORY
SAN JUAN...Oates - 3/30/2008
 
We had a wonderful trip. Our tour operator was the best. I will recommend him & your tours to our friends.
 
 
A RELAXING DAY IN THE AMALFI COAST...Aug. 29, 2007
SORRENTO ITALY...Agent - Wilson - 8/29/2007
 
It was absolutely wonderful for my clients. Their guide went far beyond there expectation. Not only were they treated to the beautiful sights of the Amalfi coast and Pompeii, but their driver took them back to the airport and helped them find their missing luggage, which they probably would have never seen again if not for him. They HIGHLY recommend him to everyone.
 
 
A TOTEMS AND EAGLES TOUR
KETCHIKAN...K. Drew - 7/28/2006
 
Our guide met us with her 55 Chevy right at the pier. I felt like I was meeting an old friend for the day. She was an exceptional guide and very knowledgeable about the area and everything involved. She kept us moving and interested and the time went all too fast. She is full of energy and enthusiasm about where she lives and made us very comfortable all morning long. She gave us a chocolate and a big hug when we left. We loved it!
 
 
ACAPULCO JET BOAT ECO ADVENTURE
ACAPULCO... Martinez - 4/16/2007
 
We had a fantastic time on the Jetboat. Our driver was incredible. What a rush! He also took the the time to stop for photo ops as well as time to tell us about the local flora and fauna. it says in the trip description that they do a 360 deg. turn, they dont..... they do about 12. woohoo!
 
 
ACAPULCO - S. Kennedy - 3/3/2007
 
We enjoyed the jet boat ride very much. It was a good mix of excitement on the speed, turns, the information and the visual on the slower tour through the mangroves. Our guide was informative and helpful and concious of our safety. We appreciated being picked up at the ship promptly. We will definately recommend ShoreTrips on the cruise critic website and to any of our friends travelling to Mexico.

 
 
ACAPULCO K. White - 5/11/2005
 
When we were on the Celebrity Infinity on a 15 night Panama Canal cruise, I had booked 8 of us on the Jetover Adventure in Acapulco. The driver who took us to the river for the adventure was awesome, on time and very courteous. I wanted to let you know all of us enjoyed that adventure tremendously. We got a boat all to ourselves, while the cruise ship people were waiting in long lines at the dock waiting to get their turn. We felt special. Thank you for making it possible to take my guests on such a well thought out and exciting river ride!
 
 
ACAPULCO YACHT EXCURSION – WATCH THE CLIFF DIVERS
ACAPULCO...D. Justus - 10/23/2006
 
This was incredible. The staff on this yacht were fantastic. We went on a 50ft. yacht to see the cliff divers and then back to a lagoon to snorkel and kayak. This was the best excursion on the cruise and can not thank you enough for the recommendation. The boys thought it was great we will always look to use your services on future cruises.
 
 
AERIAL ZIP LINE CANOPY TOUR
BELIZE...S.Nielsen - 8/14/2006
 
AWESOME! The best shore trip I've ever done. We were met at the dock on time and driven in a clean new air conditioned van to the location. Our driver was very informative about the history and sights of Belize (I wished we could stay longer). Our zip line adventure was the coolest ever. Our party of 11 included a 77-year-old, several teens, their parents, and an 11-year-old. Every one of us loved it. Truly a trip for all. Our guides couldn't have been more helpful. We had a wonderful lunch in a beautiful, remote resort. It was just gorgeous...in the middle of the rain forest. I wholeheartedly recommend the trip. ShoreTrips was great, including answering several questions I had before the trip. I would recommend this trip to all and will use ShoreTrips again. Thanks!
 
 
ALHAMBRA PALACE AND GRANADA TOURS
MALAGA SPAIN......Weigner - 8/21/2007
 
Our driver who picked us up at the ship in Malagafor Alhamra was on time, friendly, and helpful. Our guide was excellent, well informed. The picnic lunch she had for us was just right.
 
 
ALTUN HA MAYAN RUINS AND THE BELIZE ZOO
BELIZE ...Carbone - 11/7/2007
 
Our trip was GREAT!! I would totally recommend doing the private tour to anyone! Our guide was very knowledgeable and even took us to a grocery store to get hot sauce! I don't think there was anything that could have been improved upon!
 
 
BELIZE - Alfred - 2/1/2007
 
Taking this private tour was one of the best choices that we have made in shore excursions. Our guide, was very knowledgeable about the Altun Ha Mayan ruins and the Belize zoo. We had the feeling that he personally knew every animal in the zoo! We had a very enjoyable experience and would highly recommend this tour. Being driven in a Lincoln Town Car beats the heck out of being herded on a large bus any time.
 
 
ALTUN HA MAYAN RUINS WITH CITY TOUR
BELIZE...D Huber - 3/16/2007
 
This ShoreTrip to the Altun Ha Mayan ruins was terrific! We had a wonderful guide and he couldn't have been more accommodating or informative. Our tour was very personalized because it was just the three of us...so nice not to be in a large group. He brought us to the ruins in an air conditioned car so it made for a very pleasant trip! Keep up the good work!
 
 
BELIZE...T & B Smith - 1/5/2007
 
We went on the Altun Ha shore trip a few weeks ago, and have nothing but praise for our trip and especially our driver and tour guide. He was a non stop source of information for several hours, knowledgeable about the history of the place, and what's going on at the present. Coming and going provided us also with an idea of what Belize City looked like as well. We loved the small van, only 8 of us went, and much prefer that to big cruise line bus tours. We happen to enjoy learning about the history and the area of places we visit; not just shopping and beaches, so will look for a similar venue should we cruise again. Thank you.
 
 
ANTIGUA JEEP 4x4 SAFARI ECO ADVENTURE – HALF DAY
ANTIGUA T. Newlands - 3/29/2005
 
We loved this tour. There ended up only being 6 of us in the jeep plus the guide. Our guide was fabulous. He stopped whenever we asked for a beverage or photo stop. We stopped at his friend's road side stand. He gave us a platter of pineapple, coconut and papaya. We also bought a few things from them. He was so informative and so willing to answer any questions we had about the island, government,etc.
 
 
ANTIGUA WEDDING CEREMONY
ANTIGUA M. & S. Guinn - 5/3/2005
 
Everything went great with our wedding in Antigua. The coordinator was very professional, and did a great job of putting everything together for us. Everything was perfect!! We will definitely be booking again with Shore Trips!!!
 
 
ATV RAINFOREST OFF ROAD ADVENTURE
ST. KITTS...Roon - 4/12/2008
 
We had a very nice time. We were met at the docks and taken privately to our tour for a special day with our family. It was causal and well run...Our guide was a lot of fun, it was not just a long line of riders...they were flexible. It was cool seeing the monkeys and plantation house and the rainforest.
 
 
ATV RIDE ALONG THE ST. LUCIA COAST
ST. LUCIA R. Charpentier - 9/15/2005
 
It was my husband and two of his friends that went on the tour. They could not stop talking about it. They had a wonderful time. Their tour guide was wonderful. They were fortunate enough to be on the tour with just the three of them. They were able to go at their own speed without having to wait for a group.
 
 
Audley party...AROUND THE ISLAND OF ST. KITTS...Dec. 11, 2007
ST. KITTS....Smith - 12/11/2007
 
The St. Kitts bus tour was excellent and the lunch at the resort was great.
Yes, we would recommend this trip to St. Kitts. We definitely would use your group again and recommend you to others travelling. THE TRIP WAS EXCELLENT!!







 
 
BARBADOS 4X4 ADVENTURE SAFARI
BARBADOS R & L Tinfina - 4/3/2007
 
We booked ShoreTrips excursion in Barbados and had such a wonderful and fun time. We had such a great time on this island; the service we received was beyond belief.
 
 
BARBADOS D. & P. Schmidt - 10/28/2005
 
Our tour guide was very informative and a pleasure to tour with. We covered over 60 miles of the island. On our journey we had the privilege of seeing a "non-native" green monkey, an operating windmill, beautiful views, the blow holes, growing sugar cane fields, and cattle leashed on open land. The lunch we had was of local fair and was very good. It was a wonderful adventure seeing so much of this island traveling in the Land Rover. We would highly recommend this tour to others.
 
 
BEACH AND OCEAN HERITAGE HORSEBACK RIDE
OCHO RIOS...Williams - 8/8/2007
 
The trip was fantastic. Our horseback riding in Ocho Rios was wonderful, our Hooves guides were great.
 
 
OCHO RIOS...Jackson - 7/19/2007
 
We loved it. It was great. The people were friendly and made the excursion
very enjoyable.
 
 
OCHO RIOS...D. Snyder - 10/13/2006
 
Our horseback ride in Ocho Rios was wonderful and much more than we had anticipated. With just one other couple who we quickly made friends with, our ride was very personal and a fabulous experience. My husband and I agreed that we had never done anything this exciting before and would love to go back and do it again. Our experience with ShoreTrips.com was perfect. We had no problems whatsoever and everything went so smoothly. The directions were easy and accurate. I am very happy that my co-worker showed me your site. Thanks again!
 
 
BEACH DAY AT THE HALF MOON RESORT
Montego Bay...Bergeron, Agent - 1/5/2007
 
My client were very pleased with their excursion to Half Moon Resort in Montego Bay. Everything went as outlined by Shore Trips. The driver was very pleasant and on time the resort was more than they expected.
 
 
MONTEGO BAY W. Jones - 12/31/2002
 
We booked the Half Moon Bay trip in Jamaica and it was a terrific experience. Our guide was on time, and very solicitous of our needs. The day at the beach was beautiful. Others on the cruise who booked through the ship did not have near the wonderful experience we had. Thank you.
 
 
BEAR VIEWING...BEAR ENCOUNTER AT ANAN CREEK
KETCHIKAN... B. Schmidt - 7/17/2003
 
Overall the trip was very good! We saw bears (both brown and black) feeding on salmon, as well as hundreds of bald eagles and seals. The only problem was that the trip had to end! The vendor was excellent - very friendly, efficient; couldn't have been better. They were at the exact spot they were supposed to be at the right time. They even waited a few extra minutes for us when we were delayed by having to take a tender from the cruise ship ashore. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone who wants an up close and personal encounter with wild bears.
 
 
BEAR VIEWING...BLACK BEAR VIEWING ON PRINCE OF WALES ISLAND
KETCHIKAN...D. Flynn - 8/29/2006
 
Our trip to see the black bears was great. The pilot's name was very nice and concerned about us having a good time. We saw many black bear is a beautiful setting which he planned for us. Overall great!
 
 
BEAR VIEWING...FLOAT PLANE EXCURSION TO TRAITOR'S COVE
KETCHIKAN B.Anderson - 8/24/2007
 
The trip was fantastic, I still have a grin on my face two weeks later, your pilots are the best, from a guy who has been flying more than 40 years. I look forward to my next visit to Alaska.
 
 
BELIZE CAVE TUBING TOUR
BELIZE...Wright Family - 7/3/2007
 
Last week my wife and I went on the Belize Cave Tubing Tour and the Chacchoben Ruins and Maya Adventure Tour. To say they were both outstanding would be an understatement. I regret that I do not remember the name of our guide for the cave tubing. He was terrific. More than once he pointed out fantastic sights that we would never have noticed on our own. Examples are baby slaty-tailed trogons in a tree cavity; a sleeping boat-tailed heron; and, unseen by other groups, howler monkeys. In the caves themselves, our small group of five felt fortunate that our guide would pause to show us special sights, while larger groups nosily went right by.
 
 
BELIZE...R Ramos - 4/26/2007
 
First of all I must say that reading the other feedbacks on your website do not make justice to the excellent service provided by your tour guides. In Belize we were greeted by our driver, he was very amicable and friendly, talked to us the whole length of the bus ride which was approx. 45 minutes explaining the local culture, etc. When we arrived at the caves for the tubing experience we were met by our tour guide. He was great, he explained in great detail everything we wanted to know about the jungle, birds, trees, etc. always with a smile. The cave tubing experience was great, I highly recommended to anyone that wants to experience something different and have a great time. For our second shore excursion in Costa Maya we were approx. 35 minutes late, our fault… We went to the transportation desk per your instructions and there we were met by a great guy.....the captain had been sick and the day we got there was his first day back and he wasn’t feeling too good, regardless of his ailment he got my wife and I on a car and gave us the tour. Wow, that was great… He went beyond the call of duty and showed us different places other than the Chacchoben ruins, which is the tour we paid for. He was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor and very professional in his ways…. I will highly recommend your company to all of our friends that are planning cruise trips so that they too can experience the fantastic time we had. Great, Great Job… keep it up!!!!!
 
 
BELIZE... Tonia, travel agent - 12/14/2006
 
Okay, all of you thinking about going Cave Tubing in Belize on your sailing...I HIGHLY recommend it! And even more so through Shore Trips. The tour operators through Shore Trips did an amazing job. We got to go 1-2 caves higher than anyone else who booked with the cruise lines, and our guides truly guided all of us down through the caves. They are pretty dark and shallow in places, so I was glad to have a guide! Through the cruise lines, you are just left to go through on your own if you want. Some people were getting confused and lost and would try to hold on to our groups being guided down. It is not scary. Just an amazing sight and well worth the hike. It is not a bad hike...not strenuous at all. The ride to the caves is about and hour long, but the tour operators made it fun by giving you some insightful information about Belize! And finally, the lunch following the cave tubing was fantastic! All around, well worth the money, and a GREAT tour! I plan to give ShoreTrips big KUDOS for this tour, and all the other ones we did for this cruise! Have Fun!
 
 
BELIZE ZOO WILDLIFE AND CITY TOUR
BELIZE V.Crandall - 3/16/2006
 
I am the client and the travel agent and this was our first cruise. We loved this excursion. It was the last port on our cruise and we wanted something that we could do at a relaxing pace. The tour guide was great. He told us about the history of the island as well as the updates on the improvements being made since last years hurricane season. The story behind the Belize zoo was so interesting. What an incredible way to see these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. Quite a bit different than what we are used to seeing at the zoo in the states. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.
 
 
BLACKBEARD'S STINGRAY ADVENTURE IN NASSAU
NASSAU - 3/10/2006
 
I can't say enough nice things about the trip. The people on the island were nice, friendly and informative. My mother, 2 kids (ages 6 & 8) and I had a great time. One of the main reasons we chose you over the stingray experience the cruise line offered is that my daughter was too young to go on theirs (min. age 8). After speaking with others on the cruise who had gone with the ship, I'm glad she was too young. Not only was their trip more expensive (about $75, I think) but there were about 150 people and they didn't get to spend as much time with the stingrays or feed them. I think it was the highlight of our trip.
 
 
BOB MARLEY NINE MILE TOUR
OCHO RIOS P. Menge - 3/22/2005
 
This was our favorite trip of all. Seeing the "real Jamaica" by traveling through Fern Gully Rainforest on the way to Nine Mile was a real plus. Once there the site itself was very interesting as well. My two teen aged children really enjoyed seeing the birthplace of Bob Marley and hearing some of the folklore associated with it. Our driver, our Day guide, and our tour guide at the site were all just wonderful. Ja Mon!
 
 
Broomell...KAYAK AND BEACH DAY...EXPLORE THE MANGROVES...Jan. 14 2008
ROATAN....Broomell - 1/14/2008
 
This sidetrip was OUTSTANDING!!!!! There were just the 6 of us on this trip. We went to a resort to do our kayaking and snorkeling and also for lunch. Our guide was absolutely the best. He was very personable, professional and patient. Also, very safety conscious. He did a wonderful job with the entire group, but most especially with the people who had never kayaked before. He made sure everyone had a good time and were included no matter what their level of eperience. The spot was perfect for the kayaking and snorkeling. Remote and beautiful. We appreciated that we were the only ones on this sidetrip. That is one of the main reasons I book with Shoretrips. I like the exclusivity. And, as a Travel Agent, this is one of the things I sell to my clients about your company. Again, about this sidetrip, the included lunch was great. Lots of choices, very good food. Beautiful restaurant. The timing was perfect and everything was on time. This is an outstanding sidetrip.
 
 
BUSH MOUNTAIN MEDICINE HORSEBACK RIDE
OCHO RIOS...D & L Dankerl - 5/8/2006
 
I would like to say thank you for a most memorable time in Jamaica. We (My wife Leah and I) took the Bush Mountain Horseback riding excursion and we loved it. Our guide was an excellent guide and very friendly. We were the only two on the ride so it was very personal and private and not touristy at all. It was the highlight of our vacation and our first time on a horse !

Thank you to all at Shoretrips and the staff on Bush Mountain for a great time and our best vacation moment yet !
 
 
CABO BEACH DAY
CABO SAN LUCAS S. Brous - 2/20/2006
 
It was absolutely terrific. We loved the hotel and the staff. They were kind to us and looked out for us. The covered cabana helped keep off some sun for a very white Oregonian, and the huge towel and comfy mattresses were perfect for reading, relaxing and enjoying the day. The pools are beautiful. I loved having access to the ocean, but also having refuge from the vendors. The "snack" was a great lunch and the adult beverages were excellent!
 
 
CABO SAN LUCAS CITY TOUR
CABO SAN LUCAS...ROSALIND - 11/20/2007
 
This was one of the best city tours that I have ever been on and I have been on quite a few around the world. Our tour guide was great. He was very knowledgable about the city, the relics, the plant life, the weather, the biology behind tequila production, the ecological explanation of the warm and cold water and the geopgraphy of it all. Also, he answered all of my brother's questions (he is a history major) so that was a plus. The boat tour part was great as well-we had a very funny guy who made jokes. He made jokes and offered to take pictures of our family on our cameras. No complaints about this excursion whatsoever. When I filled out his company's survey afterwards, I was very happy to give him all excellent marks. From the time he met us off the ship to the time he dropped us off he was great. He made our trip to the Mexican Riveria-Cabo San Lucas memorable.
 
 
CABO SAN LUCAS....Azam - 8/4/2007
 
We enjoyed you folks providing ac bus and soft drinks. Tour guide was great.
 
 
Caldwell Private Tour
BELIZE...L Caldwell - 4/11/2007
 
Thank you for a fabulous taste of Belize in our private tour. Our driver was OUTSTANDING!!!! Everything went like clockwork. We felt safe at all times. Seeing Altun Ha, then a lovely lunch and a quick trip to Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary was a perfect taste of Belize for the short time we had. We will be back for a week to see the rest of the country and the other Mayan ruins we love so much!! Five stars to all!!
 
 
CANOPY ZIPLINE ADVENTURE
JUNEAU...Allen - 8/13/2007
 
Trip was very organized... and fun! Nice guides... seemed very qualified, and friendly... Thank you and I will look you up again for future travels!
 
 
CANOPY ZIPLINE AND RAINFOREST ROPES ADVENTURE
KETCHIKAN...Seiferth - 8/20/2007
 
We had a wonderful experience on our shoretrips in Alaska. The zipline was fun and uncrowded. The helipcopter ride was fantastic.
 
 
KETCHIKAN...Martin - 7/4/2007
 
We really enjoyed the zip line and rope adventure. It was on the 4th of July and very rainy but with the tree canopy we were able to block the rain. It was challenging and exciting. The team of zipline workers were great and entertaining. Our entire group did that so it was really a geat experience for us to share.
 
 
CATAMARAN SNORKEL CRUISE TO DUNNS RIVER FALLS
OCHO RIOS, JAMAICA...Hovis - 8/16/2007
 
Our shore trip in Jamacia was fabulous. Terrific....highly recommend it.
 
 
OCHO RIOS, JAMAICA... - 6/26/2007
 
We had an excellent time and the trip was wonderful. Despite the small crowd, we had a BLAST. The "captains" of the catamaran were wonderful, pleasant, funny, sociable... just overall fantastic. Our guide at Dunn's Falls was the best. We bypassed the long line at the left and had our own tour guide. Our bus driver and tour guide were great as well. After our excursion, we used them as our taxi and they brought us to the Hard Rock Cafe so we could eat lunch and do a little shopping and then came to pick us back up. Overall, it was a FANTASTIC day and I wouldn't hesitate to book with ShoreTrips again!
 
 
OCHO RIOS, JAMAICA...St. George - 4/13/2007
 
Our experience was good. The falls were amazing!! We know that there isn't an insurance company in the US that would allow such an activity as climbing Dunns River Falls. What a blast!!! The boat ride was good and the snorkel guide was very interactive with our group.
 
 
OCHO RIOS...C. Hutcherson - 12/20/2006
 
I just wanted to tell you how much we loved our recent Shoretrips excursion in Ocho Rios. We booked several excursions through the ship and two through ShoreTrips. We loved our ShoreTrips excursions -they were the highlight of our trip. We had a catamaran in Ocho Rios that had a terrific crew on it. We only wished we had booked it for the entire day! We will not hesitate to book all our excursions through ShoreTrips on our next vacation. Thank you very much!
 
 
OCHO RIOS, JAMAICA - 8/16/2006
 
Hi,
We had a great time (even though my son broke his arm a few days before this shore trip). This is the second time we did this excursion, we think it is good. Have to say, we love the endless flow of rum punch and the snorkeling. The woman on our catamaran, braided our daughters hair because all the girls had theirs done and hers was not. She was so sweet. I highly recommend this tour for anyone in Jamaica. They are fabulous and we will book with 'shore-trip' again in the future.

CHACCHOBEN RUINS AND MAYA ADVENTURE
COSTA MAYA...The Bartletts - 4/10/2007
 
Our tour was excellent. Our guide was from the village of Chacchoben & the ruins was discovered on his father's property. He was extremely knowledgeable. Our lunch at the home of some of the villagers was delicious. They made us feel so welcome, & we were honored to have them share their home with us. We would highly recommend this tour.
 
 
COSTA MAYA (MAHAHUAL) - 3/9/2007
 
We LOVED our excursion,out of the 3 cruise ports of call, this was our best. We had done our research, and you offered exactly what we wanted to see, experience, and learn at the best price. First of all, we too are "interpreters" of nature, history, culture, and heritage, belonging to three organizations of such businesses, and have seen many "interpreters." So, when we say that Davide and Silvana were top notch, we are comparing them to many. The event used all our senses. They both were able to make the explanations understandable and relate to us and our own lives. Their English was excellent, and Davide's accent charming. We had hoped to stand on the ruins, at least touch them, and did. We had no idea how many there would be. We also appreciated the "interpretation" of several of the plants and trees along the way. The final "icing on the cake" was to get to see the Mayan village, meet the family, make our own "wah", eat the delicious dishes, see the dance, and have a tour of their church and land. It was all more than we had hoped. I hope to have future contact with David and Silvana, for whom I have much admiration. They were both friendly and professional.



 
 
CHACCHOBEN RUINS WITH NATIVE GUIDES
COSTA MAYA...A.Newcomb - 2/8/2006
 
Our shore trip to CHACCHOBEN was fantastic. We very much enjoyed it. Another couple who arranged a trip from the ship we very disappointed. They didn't get nearly half the information we did. Our guide was terrific. He was so filled with information and background. It was great. You bet we'll keep you in mind for future side trips
 
 
CHARMING CITY TOUR OF MAZATLAN
MAZATLAN J.Jimenez - 6/8/2006
 
We had a great time, the tour was very nice and the guide was extremely
nice, knowledgeable, and the buses were comfortable. I would definitely
book with you again in the future and recommend you to my friends.
 
 
CHARTER A POWER BAREBOAT
TORTOLA P. Manley - 3/2/2005
 
We had a great time. It was the highlight of our cruise. We took the boat out for the day and cruised around all the islands. We stopped at Cooper Island for lunch and even made it all the way over to St. Johns!!! They were very nice to us, very helpful, and we would do it again and will recommend the excursion to others. Thank you for you help. And I will certainly use Shoretrips again.
 
 
CHICHEN ITZA AND BLUE CENOTE BY VAN WITH LUNCH - PLAYA DEL CARMEN
PLAYA DEL CARMEN K. Ponder (Travel Agent) - 7/6/2005
 
My client took the Chichen Itza excursion that your team specially designed for her family. She said it truly was the highlight of her trip. That is exactly what I wanted her to say. She said their guide was personable and informative, even staying with her 10 year-old granddaughter when she
couldn't make it up the steps at the ruin. The Blue Centoe was very exciting for them as well upon their return from the ruins.

My experience with your company has been great. In fact, I booked my hubby and me on two of your excursions next week when we cruise because of the ease in booking, affordability and quality of staff. The ShoreTrips staff was especially helpful with my last client and my own personal questions. Glad to know you are out there for all my future clients!
 
 
CHILKOOT EXPLORATION TOUR
SKAGWAY...Sabin - 7/17/2007
 
We had a terrific time! The land portion of the trip was very nice, the accomodations were great, we met some really nice couples, enjoyed the bus and train and got to see alot on our tour into Denali. Things went perfectly and we were very pleased with our selection of ShoreTrips on the cruise. Your recommendations were tops! We ended up having a private tour and hike in Skagway with a charming and knowledgeable Irishman. In Juneau the helicopter ride was excellent, the weather beautiful and the scerery breathtaking. I got to sit in front so I took some gorgeous pictures. In Ketchican we had a delightful time with our guide in her 55 Chevy. She remembers you and said to be sure to greet you. Our flights were smooth both ways and we made all our connections...the one in Denver coming home. It was a MOST wonderful vacation.....and we can't thank you enough!
 
 
CLEAR KAYAK, SNORKEL AND BEACH DAY
COZUMEL...Goldberg - 1/11/2008
 
We very much enjoyed the snorkel tour and beach day. We were taken care of very well. Treated like royalty and the staff was great. They gave us a lot of time snorkeling, which is what we liked best. The water in Cozumel was absolutely beautiful. There are some purple coral, not much. Food was great, so were the drinks.
 
 
COZUMEL...C Williams - 11/29/2007
 
My husband and I had a great time, and wished that we had more time to spend in Cozumel. It was great! Yes, we enjoy ourselves very much.
 
 
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE DOLPHIN KIND
NASSAU, BAHAMAS...A Marshall - 4/15/2007
 
The Close Encounters of the Dolphin Kind was our highlight!!!! We enjoyed this shore excursion the best.....and one of the great parts about it was we saved over $100 by booking the excursion through ShoreTrips versus the ship. Everything was great, don't change a thing !!!
 
 
NASSAU, BAHAMAS- Ralph H - 2/21/2007
 
I have to say, we were quite pleased with the service we received from shoretrips. My wife, 2 daughters and I went on our first cruise ever, a 4 day/night trip to the Bahamas. Having never cruised before, we were not sure of the procedures for booking land excursions. We attempted to schedule a dolphin encounter through the cruise line in what we thought was plenty of time in advance (3 weeks out). It turned out that the excursion was sold out through the cruise line. This was extremely disappointing to my family. By luck, I stumbled upon ShoreTrips.com and was able to quickly and easily secure the same excursion through your company. Not only was it simple and easy, it saved a lot of money. The cruise was fantastic, and the dolphin encounter was a memory my family will cherish forever! Thank you for saving me!! We will likely cruise again, and will most definitely check shoretrips.com first.
 
 
COMBINATION AIRBOAT AND PLANTATION TOUR
NEW ORLEANS J. Cole - 8/15/2002
 
We had a great time on our tour! It was definately above and beyond what we had expected to get. The airboat tour was incredible, great guide, extremely personable and knowledgeable...and brave...maybe a little crazy, too. It was fabulous! The plantation tour was also wonderful, it gave us an entirely different perspective on history there. The plantation guide was also fantastic. It was just the two of us on this portion of the trip, and we really enjoyed the one-on-one discussions with both her and the man who drove us to and from the tour. The trip was worth every dime, and everything went off without a hitch...no problems, no suggestions for improvements. Thanks so much for your assistance, my boyfriend and I considered this tour the highlight of our trip!
