e-bikes tours onboard Monarch in Bonaire
Pullmantur Cruises’ Monarch is offering electric bike tours on itineraries visiting the Caribbean.

With a guide-instructor, and provided with helmets, Monarch guests can enjoy the scenery with their friends and family on routes especially designed to guarantee maximum enjoyment on two wheels.

The president and ceo of Pullmantur Cruceros, Richard J. Vogel, says the new tours, ‘fit perfectly with our aim to achieve continuous innovation and provide guests an opportunity to spend their time at each port of call without having to forego their lifestyle, while promoting sports activities.’

Thanks to these excursions, ‘it could even help some of them to return home with a new hobby, he added.

Pullmantur Cruises first introduced electric bike tours last summer season, as part of its North European itineraries and has since extended it to itineraries in the Canary Islands, Adriatic and Aegean Sea and now the Caribbean.

Passengers on board Monarch can now travel to the old town of Cartagena de Indias, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, by electric bike and view the its colourful, colonial style buildings decorated with flowers, as well as its magnificent cathedral.

The bike tours are also offered on the small island of Bonaire and in Curaçao, after crossing the floating bridge that connects the two sides of Willemstad (the capital), the route takes guests to the old town and then onto KoKone Beach.

In Aruba, there are stops at several of its most emblematic spots, including its world-famous beaches such as Eagle Beach, where the typical Divi Divi trees grow, and Palm Beach, as well as the California Lighthouse, and finally Arashi Beach.

In George Town, the bike route goes through centre of Grand Cayman to a private beach club with stop at Seven Miles Beach, and across the centre of the island.

Monarch sails weekly year-round from Colón and Cartagena de Indias sailing to Curaçao, Bonaire and Aruba and between November 2018 and April 2019 also calling at Montego Bay, Grand Cayman and Puerto Limón.
