There's a little shopping area right outside the ship with some local vendors. We did the Viva Wyndham excursion. It was about a 20-30 minute drive and the driver tells you about the area. We rode a double decker bus, enclosed on bottom and open on top. Someone mentioned to bring a water proof lanyard for your room key and I did. I thought that was a nice suggestion. You don't need your passport ...
The excursions at Freeport are overpriced. I did the Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach All Inclusive and it wasn't worth the $129 paid. The drive was about 25 minutes.

We have been here a few times. Looks like they expanded the area where you get off the ship. We just shopped and stopped at Senor Frogs. Not much to do unless you have an excursion. ...
