    Thank you so much for your videos Port Monkey! We used your information to go to Stone Island from a HAL Panama Canal cruise on the Nieuw Amsterdam. We walked to the ferry and then to Lety's Restaurant once we got to the beach. They organized a Honda ATV for us (900 pesos for one hour for the two of us) as well as 2 loungers and an umbrella in the front row. We had a lovely lunch and drinks there. Enjoyed our time at both places and then took the ferry back. We found an open air taxi tour/ride back to the ship from the ferry. Highly recommend all of it, we had a GREAT day!!

    Oh my gosh - love Stone Island. We did the exact same thing back in 2019. We parked ourselves at Lety’s for the day and they took excellent care of us. It was very chill. You’re right about the vendors. All part of the beach experience in Mexico.

    Just wanted to say thanks for these excellent directions as we just returned. I had full confidence using your directions and had a great experience. We settled in at the Molokay restaurant and had great food and service.

    The open air taxis are called Pulmonias. They are pretty much exclusive to Mazatlan and are fun to ride in.

    What month of year is this? I have cruise scheduled for mid April and wondering if Mexican riveria will be warm enough to swim then.

    • @PortMonkeys
      @PortMonkeys  6 місяців тому +1

      This was recorded in October 2021. It should be warm at that time. Probably in the 80’s F. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

    We're booked on Panorama for March 26 this year. Still having trouble figuring out what to do in Mazatlan

    • @PortMonkeys

      Stone Island was fun. Check out our new video "El Faro & Mirador de Cristal". It's a nice walk up the hill with great views of the ocean. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

      This wasn't a tour. We walked from the ship to the ferry dck and paid for the ride. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

    Just recently joined your channel what I see that a lot of your postings are really close together I don’t understand how you could be in two ports really close together is there anyway that you could tell or post what day you are actually at that particular port at the beginning of your posting that would help us out a lot thank you so much we are new to your channel

    • @PortMonkeys
      @PortMonkeys  2 роки тому +1

      We could do that (if we remember). We have gone on 6 cruises since September and we post the videos as we finish them. There have been a lot of ports and made videos in all of them. We also still have some from before covid left to post. We started putting the month and year in the beginning of the videos to help people.

    • @PortMonkeys

      We don't. The only thing we bought was beer. It was around $2.50 US. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

    Do you pay with cash or card for everything?

    • @PortMonkeys
      @PortMonkeys  2 роки тому +1

      Cash in US dollars. It was $5 for the ferry and we gave the waiter $20 for the drinks (which was about a 100% tip, so he was happy). Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

    Great video. Thanks for the info. Was the cost of the ferry one way or round trip? Were the vathrooms free or did they charge, were they clean?

    • @PortMonkeys
      @PortMonkeys  Рік тому

      The ferry ride is round-trip. They give you a ticket that you show them when you get back on. The bathrooms were in the restaurants that we sat on the beach in front of. We don’t know if there were public restrooms. They were pretty clean. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

    Thanks for the little tour you’re very gutsy to go in an area you’ve never been to before. Me personally we save our pesos in our pockets when we go to Mexico and stay on the ship living in San Diego you can only go so many times to Mexico and then you can say enough is enough lol

    • @PortMonkeys
      @PortMonkeys  2 роки тому +1

      We almost always get off the ship, even if it's just to shop (or drink) on the dock. Thank you for your comments and thank you for subscribing to our channel.

    What beach in Southern California? Because where I live in Southern California we have had massive oil spills.
