10 are the same thing (bike hire) simply in different ports
Many more are duplicate trips with different departure times: for instance "river tubing" in Dominica counts as 4 trips, departing 8.15, 10.15, 12.15, 2.15; also there are 4 "Aerial adventure" in Dominica, 2 "ride above the rainforest", 2 "wacky roller" and so on.
Several more are different variants on the same trip: swim with dolphins, swim with dolphins whilst wearing a snorkel, touch the dolphins, watch the dolphins............
I don't want to denigrate Ocean Village: They provide a fresh approach to informal cruising and have a good range of activities, but why oh why do they need to exaggerate.
Can you really 'burn rubber' in Marigot?

It's call 'marketing'!
Don't most of the cruise lines offere some action/soft-adventure excursions?
