ADMIT ONE · SHORE DAY

Things to do once you get there.

The flight or the ship gets you to the water. These are the experiences Keith Wilson can plan around it. On a cruise they are the port days, the hours between the ship and the next meal. At a resort they fill the middle of the week when the pool has started to feel familiar.

Nothing here is a package with a price tag. Each one is a conversation: who is traveling, how active they want to be, and how much of the day should stay open.

ADMIT ONE · THE SHORE DAY TICKET BOOK

  1. STUB 01

    Island tours

    A guided look at the place you flew or sailed to see, so the day is more than a beach chair. Good for the first port of a cruise and for travelers who like to learn where they are.

  2. STUB 02

    Water Sports

    The catch-all for days spent on the water with a bit of motion in them. Pick one for the morning, rest in the afternoon, and let the group split up by energy level.

  3. STUB 03

    Scuba Diving

    Time below the surface with reef and sea life as the main event. Certified divers and first-timers want different arrangements, which is worth saying out loud before booking.

  4. STUB 04

    Snorkeling

    The easy way into the water: a mask, a tube and shallow reef to float over. It suits families and anyone who wants the view without the training.

  5. STUB 05

    Stand up Paddle Board

    Standing on a board across calm water. Most people are upright within a few tries, and it makes a relaxed morning for couples and small groups.

  6. STUB 06

    Water Yoga

    Stretching and balance work with the water doing half the job. A slow start to a resort day, and a gentle option for anyone who wants to move without a workout.

  7. STUB 07

    Parasaling

    A ride up under a canopy while a boat pulls you along, with the shoreline spread out below. Short, loud with laughter, and a favorite for bachelor and bachelorette weekends.

  8. STUB 08

    Margaritaville

    Part of the trip menu Keith works from. Ask him how it fits your dates and your travel party, and he will fold it into the itinerary or leave it out.

  9. STUB 09

    EVO Stay and Play

    The Evolution Travel programme Keith books through. It has its own page, with the owner’s graphic and the thinking behind it. Read about EVO Stay and Play.

Port days and resort weeks

Plan the shore day before you sail.

A cruise stops at a port for only a handful of hours. Choosing the activity ahead of time is the difference between a good day and standing on a pier deciding. Keith helps you match the stop to the people in your party.

Read how he approaches ships, cabins and ports on the cruises page, or just ask.
