Frequently asked questions
Most shore excursions run 1 to 4 hours, leaving room to get back to the ship comfortably. Always build in extra buffer time before your ship's all-aboard call, especially for tours further from the port.
Oranjestad's cruise terminal sits right in the capital, so several activities are a short taxi or walk away, while others involve a slightly longer transfer. Check each tour's pickup details when booking.
It's best to book ahead of your cruise date to guarantee a spot, since popular tours can sell out. Some operators do accommodate same-day bookings depending on availability.
Contact the tour operator as soon as you know your docking time has shifted. Many are used to working with cruise schedules and can adjust or reschedule where possible.
