Bacab Eco Park- kayak, anyone done it?

[SunCruiser26]

I did a search and could not find much info on the kayak expedition through Carnival. If someone out there has been on this excursion could you tell me if it was worthwhile? :) Thanks

I did the horseback riding at the Eco Park last week, but we did have time to hang out with some of the kayakers and they seemed to have a good time. What I can tell you is that the tour takes you on about a 30 minute ride by bus to the park that doubles as a mini-tour of Belize. Once you arrive, you go on your tour. Whatever you do, take bug repellant because the mosquitoes are killer! (Even with 34% DEET, I still got eaten alive). After your tour, you are fed a (free!) traditional Belizean meal (stewed chicken, rice and beans, potato salad, fried plantains, and fresh fruit) which is very, very good. The park has a really nice pool area that you are given time to use (about an hour). Then, they give you a ride back to the pier. We had about 2 hours after the excursion to check out the pier area.
