gquest Posted March 4, 2005 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Hello, I am leaving on the Valor this Sunday and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestion of things to do if my cave tubing excursion in Belize gets canceled due to rain. Weather.com reports Shower (40%). I am a little worried at this point and wanted to have a plan B in place. Also, what is there to do on days at sea if it rains? Thanks :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneylynn Posted March 4, 2005 #2 Share Posted March 4, 2005 We were in belize last week and it was 98 degrees a little rain would feel good. We took the river/mayan ruins tour it was very good, but a little to hot when we got to the ruins. I sat under a tree. Don't leave the port area alone not to safe.

alwysonvctn Posted March 4, 2005 #3 Share Posted March 4, 2005 The day I was in Belize, it was raining lightly. We boarded the bus for the long ride, and by the time we got to the caves it had mostly stopped raining. The driver said it rains most days, just not all day. I don't think they actually cancel the excursion for rain, if it is warm out the rain won't make much of a difference in your trip. The water is refreshingly warm in the river and you are in the caves most of the time. Do remember to take a change of clothes as the ride back can be very cold in wet clothing.

HeidiHo Posted March 4, 2005 #5 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Isn't Belize a "rain" forest? I would think it would rain daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneylynn Posted March 4, 2005 #6 Share Posted March 4, 2005 One of the people running the tour we were on said that they have 6 months of rain. I think he said April to october. Then the rest of the year it is pretty much dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtchem1 Posted March 4, 2005 #7 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Good call Heidiho, it is a rain forest. When we were there we had a torrential downpour at the end of our cave tubing. It lasted about 5 minutes, then the sun returned. Made it a little tough for some of the busses to get up the dirt road, but didn't affect anything else.

kaliente Posted March 4, 2005 #8 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I'm leaving on the Miracle this Sunday and we're going snorkeling in Belize. If cave tubing gets cancelled you can always go shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyf Posted March 4, 2005 #9 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I haven't done it but read a lot of post about the Wet Lizard on the port boards. If nothing else hang out there with the locals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
