We were on the Dawn Princess and stopped here 2 1/2 years ago. We booked an excursion thru the ship. I can't exactly remember the name of the excursion (possibly "4 Wheel Safari") but you're taken around on the lesser inhabited portion of the island. The vehicles were open back Land Rovers where the "touristas" sat on benches or chairs. A bit wild and bumpy but we liked it fine. Had an hour stop at a beach for swimming/sunbathing, a stop where wooden fishing boats (quite large) were being handmade, some offroad 4-wheeling to a very remote beach and a quick break there. Then it was 4 Land Rovers racing each other back to the original starting point. Complimentary soft drinks. beer or alcoholic punch were readily available throughout the tour. Guides drank but not the drivers - thank God...lol. It was quite different and I guess that's why we enjoyed it. Very desolate areas but also a real look at the countryside and small fishing villages along the way.

[QUOTE="Raven, post: 723691"] We were on the Dawn Princess and stopped here 2 1/2 years ago. We booked an excursion thru the ship. I can't exactly remember the name of the excursion (possibly "4 Wheel Safari") but you're taken around on the lesser inhabited portion of the island. The vehicles were open back Land Rovers where the "touristas" sat on benches or chairs. A bit wild and bumpy but we liked it fine. Had an hour stop at a beach for swimming/sunbathing, a stop where wooden fishing boats (quite large) were being handmade, some offroad 4-wheeling to a very remote beach and a quick break there. Then it was 4 Land Rovers racing each other back to the original starting point. Complimentary soft drinks. beer or alcoholic punch were readily available throughout the tour. Guides drank but not the drivers - thank God...lol. It was quite different and I guess that's why we enjoyed it. Very desolate areas but also a real look at the countryside and small fishing villages along the way. [/QUOTE]
