Cave tubing with X-treme---excellent!

[Tarheelbelle]

We booked cave tubing with X-treme online. We were on the Norwegian Dawn 11/20 sailing and in Belize on Saturday 11/26/05. Our guide was Carlos. There were just 4 of us, my friend and I and another couple from the same ship. We had a wonderful time. We hiked about 40 min. and then hiked through a dry cave. Then we put into the water---you could either jump in or take the rope and climb down a little bank into your tube. We then linked together in a train and down the river we went through 2 caves, mild rapids, and open areas of the river. The water temp was about 73 degrees and the air about 80.

Lunch for $5 was barbecued chicken, rice, salad, bread, and a chocolate or banana muffin. Very good! We were back to the tourist village by about 2PM so we had time for shopping a beer at the Wet Lizard.

Would highly recommend this tour!!

CRUISED 12/11 THROUGH 12/18 CARNIVAL MIRACLE:rolleyes: LOVED IT. WE BOOKED CAVE TUBING ONLINE WITH X-TREME AND IT WAS INCREDIBLE. WITH CONFIRMATIONS IN HAND AND INSTRUCTIONS THEY WERE THERE TO MEET US ,WHICH WAS IN CLOSE PROXIMETY TO THE DOCK. THERE WERE 10 PEOPLE IN OUR GROUP, 8 OF WHO WE KNEW AND OUR 2 GUIDES WERE VERY INFORMATIVE AND QUITE FUNNY. IT WAS THE BEST PART OF OUR TRIP, WELL ALMOST ? IT SEEMED LIKE AN ADVENTURE, WHILE BEING A LITTLE CLOSTRAPHOBIC I NEVER FELT THAT WAS A PROBLEM WE HAD MINER'S LAMPS AND THEY HAD BIG FLASH LIGHTS TO GUIDE US THRU. VERY VERY INCREDILBE. A B-B-QUE FOR $5.00 PLENTY OF FOOD TRY THE BELIZE RUM IT IS VERY GOOD AND I'M USUALLY NOT A RUM DRINKER. SO DON'T BE A SKEPTIC BECAUSE I "WAS" . WE ALSO DID THE SNORKELING AND SWIMMING WITH THE STINGRAYS IN GRAND CAYMEN BOOKING ONLINE, WITH CAPT BRYAN OR BRYANT ON A CATAMARAN THAT WAS ALSO GREAT I THINK THE NAME OF THE BOAT WAS THE HANNIBAL. WE DID REALLY GOOD AND SAVED TONS OF MONEY INSTEAD OF BOOKING WITH THE CRUISE SHIP AND HAD SMALLER GROUPS ,WE ARE WAITING FOR OUR DVD OF SNORKELING THEY HIRED A CAMERA-MAN WITH SCUBA EQUIPEMENT AND FILMED THE WHOLE THING :D

GOOD LUCK JEREME

Hi Jereme, I am going on the Miracle in march 06 and I am worried about getting off the boat in time for the cave tubing. I heard that they don't let you off first unless you have a carnival booked excursion. How did you manage this on the Miracle?

Did you have trouble getting off before carnival excursion people? Did they give you a hard time at the gangway? Did you need some sort of "tender ticket" from the lounge?
