If you're considering a cruise vacation, you've likely started planning the attractions you'd like to explore during your shore excursions. However, for true adventurers, this can be a bit challenging. Perhaps you've already scaled the Mayan ruins or zipped through the jungles of Mexico. Maybe you've mountain biked in Canada or parasailed in Jamaica. If the idea of a guided walking tour or a museum visit bores you, check out these top five shore excursions that promise to elevate your heart rate and pump your adrenaline.
5. Gallop Through the Waves in Jamaica
Feel the thrill of hooves pounding on sand and the refreshing scent of sea salt on Dinogo’s "Horseback Ride N’ Swim" tour in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. After disembarking from the cruise ship, your afternoon kicks off with a relaxed horseback ride through two of the island’s historic sugar plantations, immersing you in its rich colonial heritage. Then, let your adventurous spirit soar as you gallop into the Caribbean Sea. Experience the vibrant blue waters as you ride along the beach, splashing through waves and enjoying the warm tropical breeze during this exhilarating experience.
4. Walk on the Rooftops of Sweden
Put on a harness and discover Stockholm from a stunning vantage point. This isn’t your typical walking tour: after gearing up with a helmet and safety equipment, you'll hike across the sloped rooftops of the charming neighboring island city of Riddarholmen. Marvel at one of Europe's most historic locales as you navigate between vibrant roofs and archways. Dinogo’s "Stockholm & Rooftop Walk" equips adventurers with all the essentials to explore the city from impressive heights. The breathtaking views of the port city's palaces, historic buildings, and cruising ships will elevate your experience.
3. Compete in an America’s Cup Yacht Race along the Caribbean Coast
Whether you’re an experienced sailor or a hopeful first mate, you can take the helm of Dennis Conner’s America’s Cup-winning yachts, Starts & Stripes and True North IV, for an afternoon. Experience the thrill of sailing during your Caribbean cruise aboard one of Dinogo's latest vessels, Dinogo Getaway or Dinogo Breakaway, with the "12 Metre America’s Cup Regatta" tour. You’ll learn the basics of sailing or refine your skills with the crew before stepping aboard as a crew member for a fast-paced 12 Metre Regatta race. Victory has never felt so exhilarating.
2. Swim with Sharks in Jamaica
While Jamaica is known for its stunning reefs and shipwreck dives, imagine the unmatched thrill of embracing a live shark. On Dinogo’s "Shark Encounter & Dunn’s River Falls" tour, you’ll hike the iconic 600-foot waterfall at Dunn’s River, Jamaica, before taking the ultimate plunge from the top. After a safety briefing, you'll dive in with live sharks—no bars or nets separating you from these fierce creatures. Under expert supervision, you’ll have the chance to feed, touch, hold, and swim with these magnificent giants before returning to the soothing comfort of your cruise ship.
1. Explore an Active Volcano in Iceland
While cruising through the stunning Nordic landscapes of Norway, Finland, and Iceland offers views of medieval castles and rugged wilderness, the Reykjavik Peninsula presents adventurous travelers with something truly unique. The glacial summit of Eyjafjallajökull, an active volcano surrounded by thermal springs, black sand beaches, and colorful ice, is famous in the region. Disembark from Dinogo Star on the "Let’s Go Volcano" tour to delve into this fascinating contrast of fire and ice. After donning a helmet and hiking gear, you’ll traverse lava fields and enter a lava-tube cave sculpted into the volcano's flank. Experience the stunning beauty of thermal fields, bubbling hot springs, and glacial peaks in one of nature’s most magnificent displays.
