More Info (if you are interested in taking this excursion):
It began with a 2 hour ride on the Marigalante pirate ship to the secluded Majahuitas Beach!
During the trip, we enjoyed an interactive pirate show filled with stunts and pyrotechnics. The actors literally walked the plank- into the middle of the ocean, and they "fired cannons"- pretty incredible! The show was about an hour long (I included a few minutes of the show on this video).
We were served breakfast with Pina Coladas by our "personal pirate" (Barracuda) and we danced and played pirate games during the second hour.
Once we arrived, we were provided every beach toy imaginable (kayaks, snorkel gear, and more) to enjoy, and the kids were taken on a treasure hunt. We spent about 2 hours on the beach, followed by another 2 hour boat trip back to our cruise ship.
During the ride back we were served lunch along with more dancing and games.
There was an unlimited open bar for the entire excursion. The service was unbelievably great! Barracuda brought us Rum & Cokes all day, even while we were playing in the ocean (yes, service in the water)- and I don't think we even ever asked for one! He kept the drinks flowing for the kids too- bringing them so many "Virgin" Pina Coladas and Shirley Temples all day! Top notch, hard working staff (they each wear so many hats: they are bi-lingual actors, stuntmen, swimmers, servers, and activity directors- all in one)! Our personal pirate earned himself a big fat tip for providing excellent service all day!
I highly recommend this excursion for families! It was a blast for all ages!
We felt it was a great value for the ticket price too ($99 per person) - each ticket includes boat ride, entertainment, 2 meals, unlimited open bar, private beach access and beach gear.
