Cave tubing March: Cold water??

[Mrs.Gosse]

Hi, I THINK I am booking our family on this cruise for march 22nd (Princess) and Cave tubing sounds like it is right up everyones alley....except mine. I get freezing cold very easily and stress out in water. I am sure a life vest will make me totally calm but I am wondering about

1)the possibility of popping out of the tube.

2) The temp of the water

3) how long is the excursion

 

Thanks in advance for any help. I hope this is not a repeat, this is my first post in the Belize thread.

I have not done a ship's excursion, but I have cave tubed in Belize in late October and the water was quite cold to me, but that's any water under 75!

[Mrs.Gosse]

, but that's any water under 75!

 

I hear that! I get cold easy so.... This is really the kind of thing my hubby and kids would like though.

We went cave tubing last Feb. The water was a little cold but was bearable. Went with Reggie's Tours and had a Blast. You should try it.

[Mrs.Gosse]

Well, that is good to hear. I think that if it was bearable in Feb, then by the end of march I might be able to handle it. DH looked it up on you tube and is very interested!

Just so you know, if you read up on the cavetubing sites, you'll find that they say the water that you are in are the same temperature all year round. I would have to look it up to see what that temperature is because I don't remember off the top of my head.

 

You also have to remember that your are still in the Caribbean (and the rain forest) and it's hot there no matter what time of year it is. Yes, they do have some cooler days or rainy days and any day could be different. But for the most part, it's hot and the refreshing water feels good. Of course depending on just "how hot" it is any day will probably also affect the way you "feel" the temp of the water. If it's extremely hot and humid out, the water is going to feel "warmer" to you even if it's not. If it happens to be a cooler day, the water might feel cooler even though it's the same temp...just a different atmosphere. :)

Does anyone know if there are weight restrictions when cave tubing?

I bring a wet suit when I travel and pack it with my snorkeling gear

Always prepared and always have a great time

No issues with cold water but since I'm from NH all other water seems like 90 lol

It's a tropical river so its not as warm as the ocean but we never felt cold. In fact a dip came as a welcome refreshment..

I am ecstatic to hear this! We will be there in a couple of weeks and I am a little concerned about the temperature of the air and water! I want a sundress and bikini vacation...not a jeans and a hoody vacation!! :D:p

I think it is COLD...FREEZING...at any time. I hate cold and I had a blast cave tubing. There is so much to see and so much excitement that the cold does not matter.

That makes me feel good. I feel cold constantly, especially in water.
