Those looking for excitement can enjoy zip-lining from trees in a tropical forest, exploring underground caves, or going 4x4 off-roading. Most locations offer hiking, biking, horseback riding, parasailing, and jet-boat activities. For example, go on a three-hour biking tour in Spain, a four-hour 4X4 adventure in Malta, and zip-lining in Alaska.
Whether going to the Caribbean or Alaska, there are plenty of beach or water activities that may include regatta racing, parasailing, kayaking, rafting or fishing. Go whale watching and fishing in Alaska, explore underwater in a submarine in Hawaii, and go on a snorkeling expedition in Mexico.
Explore authentic flavors from around the world by going on a cuisine shore excursion. Some tours include both adventure and cuisine, such as fishing trips with a seafood feast and horseback riding with a barbeque lunch. Go on wine tastings in New Zealand, sample spices in India, and savor salsa and margaritas in Mexico.
Enjoy local folk dances, customs and history by going on show and entertainment shore excursions. Some venues provide local entertainers who tell the story behind their music, dance and art. In Costa Rica, attend the Costa Rican Traditions shore excursion for seven and one-half hours, which takes you to a coffee farm to learn about farming, harvesting, milling and roasting coffee. Other excursions include enjoying the tango at Pittamiglio Castle in Uruguay, a beach luau and samba in Brazil, and a flamenco show in Spain.
Experience and photograph wildlife in natural habitats, plus take advantage of opportunities to explore a variety of stunning landscapes, which include rain forests, volcanoes, the tundra and glaciers.
