8 Ways to Experience the Caribbean (Sponsored)

Unleash The Adventurer Within

Adventure seekers, your ship has come in. Take a step back into history on a western Caribbean cruise to Cozumel. Enjoy a scenic drive from the port to the Mayan pyramids of Chichen Itza—widely considered one of the best archaeological sites of the Yucatán. Here you’ll find the spiritual cenotes where Mayan sacrifices took place, the temple of warriors, and an observatory where Mayan priests made their calculations based on the cosmos. This is just one of the many incredible shore excursions you can experience with Royal Caribbean.

Discover A World Of Marine Life

Combine three amazing adventures into one action-packed shore excursion in George Town, Grand Cayman. Experience kayaking, snorkeling, and beach exploration at the incredibly scenic Seven Mile Beach. Paddle out to prime snorkeling territory at Governor’s Reef. Once there, put on a snorkel and witness all the abundant tropical fish beneath the sea—along with fascinating coral formations. Paddle back to the beach and cool off with a tropical cocktail while you relax on the beach or hunt for seashells along the shore.

Play And Swim With Dolphins

One of the most popular shore excursions Royal Caribbean offers is the chance to interact with dolphins. It’s your opportunity to swim, dance, kiss, and hug these playful mammals while enjoying the warm waters of the Caribbean. We’re sure it’s the kind of one-on-one encounter you’ll remember forever.

Soar 400 Feet Above Our Private Beach Destination

Only on Royal Caribbean will you find a bird's-eye view of Labadee, an exclusive private beach for cruise-goers. On a parasailing adventure, you can spot the Dragon’s Breath Flight Line, the world’s longest zip line over water, and see amazing views of wave runners, snorkelers, and so much more—all right beneath your feet.

Catch A Sea Turtle In Its Natural Habitat

Just off the vibrant island of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the water teems with marine life. One such inhabitant of the southern Caribbean’s tropical waters is the sea turtle. Snorkel or dive down to see this graceful creature as it swims below the water’s surface. Plus see unique coral formations and abundant tropical fish in every color during a magical hour of exploration.

Explore A Natural Adventure Park

For one adventure after another, visit Xplor—a unique underground world that will keep your adrenaline pumping throughout the day. Fly down 13 zip lines that take you beneath a forest canopy. Set off on a cavern tour that will surround you with stalactites and stalagmite formations. Journey through the wilderness in amphibious vehicles. That’s just a taste of all the adventures to be had in Cozumel’s daring adventure park.

Horseback Ride In The Caribbean

You haven’t truly experienced the wonder of riding horseback until you’ve ridden in Falmouth, Jamaica, through two of the island’s oldest sugar plantations and seen where several films were shot on location. Cool off from your adventure with a splash in the Caribbean Sea. It’s education mixed with adventure during one unforgettable ride.

From exploring ancient Mayan ruins to flying high above a private beach to zip-lining through forest canopies, you deserve a vacation with countless options. Even if you choose to do nothing at all. No matter how you spend your Caribbean vacation, only Royal Caribbean makes it truly memorable.
