Great overview of the island - This was an interesting narrated train ride around the island. The hostesses served drinks to guests while the train was rocking back and forth. Kind of a rough ride and you had to hang on!

Nice - The weather didn't allow me to experience the beach. The tour guide and driver were awesome! Will do again!

Great experience but the PA needs work. - Great tour but couldn’t hear the narrator on either level of the train. The employees that were on each car were very friendly and the dancers were fun to watch.

Island Train - A great way to see the island! Transportation from the cruise port to the train station was easy. The open-air train is a great way to see the entire island. The drinks added to the fun. The train was one of the bumpiest/rockiest I’ve ever been on, but still enjoyable. Transportation from the train back to the cruise ship was rather confusing and could be better communicated.

They packed too many... - They packed too many people onto the upper deck of our section. Sadly we also had an incredibly selfish “guest” aboard who refused to move over to let another person sit. The tour itself was lovely way to see some of the smaller villages on the beautiful island

Leisurely ride - This is a very leisurely excursion. We waiting a good half hour past our meeting time before the bus was ready and the train ride itself was long and slow moving. Plan for four hours from meeting to return. The train had great views but kids were bored, tired and hot by that point so plan accordingly.

Not the greatest - Not the views we were expecting. End of train ride views the dump. Train itself shook horribly. Saw more of island in a cab ride.

Disappointing. - Don’t really see much. Probably better off hiring a local to drive you around. Sure this is a 3rd world country and my expectations were not high for the train but this excursion is a not worth the money eve n with the free booze!

Disappointed - A real scam, we hired a tour with comments in Spanish and didn’t hear a single word in Spanish. The devices that we were supposed to hear in Spanish were useless, we told the person that we handed them over and he didn't even care.
