Shore Excursions in El Salvador

A shore excursion lets you get off your cruise ship and see the sights without any planning, stress, or hassle. This trip takes you from your port at Acajutla to nearby destinations including Cerro Verde National Park and the town of Izalco. Hike around the crater lake and sightsee in the historical town as your guide shares information about the area, and then return to your ship in time for your departure.

The capital of El Salvador, San Salvador, is only a 90-minute ride from Acajutla. This tour includes visits to the most important areas including the residential/business district of Santa Elena, Salvador del Mundo Plaza, El Rosario Church, Monsignor Romero memorial site, Plaza Barrios and Plaza Morazan. Coin museum, Natonal palace, and free time at Multipaza shopping center.

This private Acajutla shore excursion is a crash course in El Salvador's culture and history. Learn about the country's Mayan roots on a visit to the Tazumal ruins - home to the largest Mayan pyramid in El Salvador - and then jump ahead to the colonial period while touring the historical city center of Santa Ana. This tour is conducted with just your guide and group, so you have plenty of time to chat and ask questions of your guide.
