booked the sea and see excursion the semisub was fun saw fish and sunken ship the land portion not great lighthouse top of hill view ok .. fallen arch and hill and north shore ok not great always in a hurry and it seemed all other excursion going to same places so at times it was a mess.. aruba not one of my favorites
puerto calders is a commercial port so you have to book an excursion we booked the tropical train and mangove river excursion the river was first and our guide was great the tour was very well organized.. then the train ride some parts ok but for the most you travel through,,,, not tropical forest,,squatters and poverty not very scenic but reality.. it was a good thing we had an excelant guide and bus driver I would recomend the mangrove cruise part but not the train..
acapulco was canceled so we stayed longer in hautulco nice port very clean somewhat hurt by economy and fewwer ships,,, we went on our own took a cab to lacreciata wandered visited shops, the church, and had lunch while having luncn the ship;s excursion started to wander bye so we figured that we saw the same as the pd excursions... retured to port and shopped and wandered around cab cost for 4 $6 lunch and drinks for 4 less than $20 gifts and vanilla a few more pesos good day returnednto ship which didnt leave till 11pm wasting time because of canceling acapulco
we booked the coastal highlights great guide good day saw a lot 1st to glass blowing factory good stop except always in hurry my wife wanted more time to look and spent but prices a good next to luxury hotel with view and cervezas again timed .next to san jose del cabo.. church and shopping pricey on to the cacti garden it was interesting but again on the clock we did have time to buy a Margaretta
