Canopy tour in March? Temperature?

[OliverTheCat]

Trying to decide attire to wear on my canapy tour excursion. How hot does it get in Ochos Rios in mid March? I cant remember from my last trip there in March how hot it was.

 

Just trying to decide weather to wear cut off capris, pants or long shorts.

I just returned from the Star, where we did the canopy tour. I can't comment on how hot it will be (it was 80 for us), but I can tell you that if they get any rain, be sure to wear old shoes! The mud was awful! Depending on how agile you are, capris are fine. I have a bit of arthritis in my knees and had trouble pulling them up as I came in to a platform, so I did scrape an ankle just a bit, nothing serious. Long pants would have protected from that. Shorts, especially very short, are no good - they will ride up under the harness and you will get chaffed. It was great fun, but there were a LOT of stairs (downhill) ( we began to wonder if they would ever end!) The guys running it were excellent, very safety concious. Have fun!
