Pics from Zip Lining and Cave Tubing

[Wales 2004]

When my wife and I were booking our excursions, the one thing we didnt find enough of were pictures, so we promised to post our pics when we got home in hopes it will give others an idea of what we saw, and hopefully help them to make their decisions or at least have a picture to keep them motivated!

 

We were aboard the Carnival Miracle, and traveled in September.

In Belize we zip lined and cave tubed with Nacho and Cynthia, and had a fantastic time!

 

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for the pictures our family will be going zip linning and cave tubing in two weeks.:) A different company but sure to have a blast!

Just back from Belize on the 10-28 sailing of the Veendam. Had a great time and the Canopy Tour (zip-lining was the hi-lite of the week).

 

If two 50+ ladies can do it, anyone can! Will admit my legs were a little shaky after the last repel! Marti

Marti great picture! We leave next weekend and are booked for a zip line and cave tubing tour. Can not wait.

First of all, great photos! Costa Maya looks especially incredible. Secondly, is the "secret beach" in Costa Maya north or south of the pier? Can you see it from the ship? Based on your helpful photos it should be easy to find.

 

Thanks.

Harry--I want to know about the secret beach too. We rented golf carts and drove over to a great beach at Mahajual (sp?) I'm not that great with directions but I think it was south of the Costa Maya. It has gotten quite a bit more popular lately but, if you drive far enough down through the village it is just a beautiful beach. I highly recommend the massage on the beach!

 

Thanks to all for the great pics! I can't wait to cave tube and ziplinein January. Has anyone tried the tour group from a company I found on the web called see belize (all one word with a letter C instead of having it spelled out)? It won't let me type it in as it is spelled unless it is all ****--sorry. DH is a little concerned about booking through someone other than the ship. But, I would rather save 50% and try them. Haven't been able to find anything on them yet though so I'm a little skeptical. Thanks for any input.

 

Thanks again for the pics--love them all

Marti great picture! We leave next weekend and are booked for a zip line and cave tubing tour. Can not wait.

 

Which company are you going through that does cave tubbing and zipline as one tour? We were planning on doing cave tubbing in Belize and zip line in Costa Rica. But if we can find a company that does both maybe we'll do that. Thanks for any information you can give me.

2CrusinOldies - We are using X Stream for our excursion. They offer both excursions in one trip. Looking forward to a great time.

Thanks for the pictures, I have emailed the link to my sisters, we too are booked in Belize with N & C in December. Since I am that 50+ lady now I see I should not be afraid to try it too.:D

How do you reach Nacho and Cynthia? Is there a website?

Thanks

2crusinoldies--I found the company online. For some reason it won't let me put their name in my post. You can email Narciso Garcia at belizetrips@yahoo.com. Haven't been able to find anyone that has used them yet though. It sounds like they all use the same ziplines and caves to tube.

If anyone has any info I wuld really appreciate the input.

Thank you for sharing your pictures!!! My brother and I are in for the zip lining on the 12-24 Carnival Miracle cruise and cannot wait. The pictures make me look more forward to it!

 

Question though for anyone- I have read some people discussing "repelling". What are you repelling from? I mean, I dont have to start lifting weights or anything, do I?

 

Thanks again for the pics!!!

Sorry for the double post!

[Wales 2004]

No problem on the double post :)

 

If you want to reach Nacho and Cynthia their email address is nacho_cynthia@yahoo.com

 

If you contact them, tell them Nicola and Jason said Hi!

 

As far as repelling, there is no true repelling, and you dont need to start lifting weights. Except for getting off the last platform, you are basically just sliding along a cable, while securely strapped in I might add, and all you need to do is pull down on the wire when it is time to stop or when you feel you are going to fast.

 

There were people of all skill levels on our tour and no one had a problem :)

Will be in costa maya in march. Where exactly is the secret beach? Can I walk to it or need a taxi? I'm not that great with directions so need lots of help.

The secret beach is not that hard to find. Follow this link and this guy has made a step by step photo tour of how to get there.

Thank you for all of your wonderful pictures! I get so excited to see where my husband and I will be in a few months. We've got the same schedule but only on a different ship, the Legend (since Carnival changed them).

 

Thanks again!

[Wales 2004]

No problem sun007set! We look forward to hearing about your experience upon your return!

Thank you for the time you put into making the interactive map for us all. One question for you if you don't mind.

How long does it take to make this walk? Is it miles or actually just a few 100ft? I thought it wasn't very far to the resort, but some of the photos look like we'll be walking for miles. :confused: Thanks, Steph

Anybody Know How Long It Takes To "zipline-eat Lunch-tube"?

I'm A Little Concerned That We Won't Have Enough Time.
