Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise excursors can add a significant cost to the pricing your holiday so we try and explore the cruise ports on our own without incurring this additional cost wherever we can

we decided to take a walk-in tour around Santa Cruz De La Tenerife instead

the motorcycle and psychiatric and Madeira and it was fabulous

Puerto Del Rosario and fuerta Ventura actually that was quite a dull Curry sport so we probably should have done a cruise Excursion there

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

You've booked your dream cruise to the Canary Islands but then there is the big question, "Do we need to book shore excursions?". What if the cruise ports are boring? Well this is a video that will hopefully answer that question. We like to walk and explore so try and look for ways to enjoy the cruise ports without the costs of excursions. We normally allow ourselves one excursion per cruise. They can be so expensive and really add significang cost to your holiday. Selecting whether to take an excursion or just explore on foot is often a difficult choice. We cruised the Canary Islands in Winter 2022. We did one excursion. But which are the best ports to explore and which are the ports to spend money escaping the cruise port to have fun filled adventures? #cruise #cruiseexcursions #shoreexcursion #canaryislands #canaryislandsvlog #canaryislandscruise Please subscribe to see more content like this - https://youtube.com/@CooksExplore?sub_confirmation=1 00:00 Introduction 00:30 The Canaries Itinerary 00:44 Tenerife - Santa Cruz de Tenerife 01:50 La Palma - Santa Cruz La Palma 03:08 Madeira - Funchal 04:40 Lanzarote - Arricefe 05:54 Fuertaventura - Puerto del Rosario 06:53 Conclusions
