Pickup details

We recommend that you make an effort to disembark as early as possible when your ship docks. This will allow you to enjoy a more relaxed and comfortable tour, away from the crowds and the heat. Once you exit through the main terminal, your guide will be waiting for you with a sign displaying your name. You will then be escorted to your private, air-conditioned, and newly equipped vehicle, where your tour will begin. After an enjoyable day of exploration, you will be dropped off back at the port well in advance of your ship’s departure.
