Zip Lining ?'s

[whoohooo]

My wife, her mother, and sister, and myself will be on the Carnival Legend this September and both my wife and her sister have shown an intrest in zip lining. I have a couple of questions about this activity.

 

- Is Belize a good place to do this, is it worth the money mainly?

- Is it possible to have just that tour and combine it with cave tubing

or anything?

- What tour operators would you recommend?

 

I looked around the boards for a bit and didn't see any place where these were already answered, if they are, I apologise ahead of time. If not, then I look foward to any and all responses and thank you.

We just took this tour (booked through Carnival) last month. It was so fun!! I had a hard time finding info/reviews on this tour before we left, so I hope I can help you!

 

Here's a snippet from my review of our cruise. I talked a little bit about our ziplining excursion. It was really fun, we felt really safe, and we would do it again. The only bad part about it was the bus ride - but it was worth it! It is so far away from the port, that I was glad we booked through Carnival. If you have any problems (bus breaks down or something) the ship will not leave without you. This was our first cruise ever, and I just didn't feel comfortable going off on our own in Belize.

 

Belize - We took the zipline/canopy tour excursion through Carnival. The bus ride was long and very rough. I mean, you could seriously jack up your back on this bus ride! Our guide even made a joke about it saying "Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the complementary massage!" It was about an hour and a half on an old school bus. And a good portion of the bus ride is on a gravel road. I suggest sitting as close to the front as you can to cut down on the bumping. We were at the back of the bus and I literally bounced up off the seat a few times! Our guide Prem/Prez (can't quite remember!) was great. He talked nearly the entire way there about the country/people/culture/economy/history. It was great. He pointed out things all along the way. We got to the site, geared up, and headed up the hill through the jungle and stopped for a safety breifing. It was very thorough. The zipline itself was wonderful. I felt very safe and secure and it was so fun!! They offered complementary bottled water.

 

We were really sweaty!! It was hot in the jungle and it's a very active, activity! We had a blast! I was glad we wore longer pants, but lightweight pants. Short shorts would not be a good idea. We also used plenty of bug spray, but there weren't any bugs! I'm sure that was a fluke, though!

 

This is the area that you walk through a cave to get to - where you get all geared up!

The cave where you start and end.

 

We had a blast!! And maybe, just maybe, burned off a few of the calories from the warm chocolate melting cake on the ship!
