We just booked this one as we will be on the Carnival Dream 12/26/2009. They are very reasonable and they have many tours available. I was pleased with their instant response to our reservations with all the details. Great reviews of this tour company everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinDon Posted October 10, 2009 #7 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I'm surprised no one has yet mentioned Cave Tubing, which is an extremely popular excursion in Belize. This is what we did with our day in Belize. We booked independently, online. We booked the earliest tour we could, to leave plenty of time to get back to port. There are numerous companies that are reliable and safe, and a quick search on these boards will tell you which ones are preferred by most travelers. With a cave-tubing excursion, you start with a one hour bus ride to the caves. We drove through Belize City, getting a look at the capital city, and some informative commentary by our driver/guide. Then, we drove out into the countryside, which was a very eye-opening experience, to see how rural Belizeans live. You then hike about 40 minutes through the jungle, on a well cleared trail until you arrive at the caves. The actual time tubing through the caves, and on the river is about 1-1/2 hrs. Then, the bus ride back through the countryside. Enough time left after the tour to do some quick shopping at the pier area. We felt we had experienced several interesting things all in one day. Not to mention............................cave tubing is a blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will in sunny FL Posted October 10, 2009 #8 Share Posted October 10, 2009 If you are into water sports like snorkeling, Coral Breeze is our favorite where you snorkel, stop again to swim with the Rays & finish up with a great local lunch on Caye Caulker. Have fun ! Bill in FL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomko2 Posted October 17, 2009 #16 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks, I would really like to know about this. We're leaving on Nov 14th so I would like to know soon. Thanks again!!!!!! We would also be interested in learning about the trolley/train ride. We'll be there in January. Last time my DH went on a horse-riding excursion thru RCI and enjoyed it very much. I hired a female taxi driver to walk with me around town and tell me about the town; it was so interesting and she was great at keeping vendors from bugging me. Thanks Kathy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakim Posted October 18, 2009 #17 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I finally found some info on the trolley/train. It is apparently only offered through the cruise lines. (And maybe only through NCL??) It costs $31 and lasts 1 hour. It is an open-air vehicle and includes Baron Bliss Lighthouse, the Governor's Mansion, St. John's Cathedral and the Swing Bridge. A 'local snack' and bottled water are included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbjmws Posted October 23, 2009 #18 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Has anyone done this excursion? We're going on RCL Liberty of the Seas Nov 1, 2009 and Belize is a puzzlement to decide. Help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceflower77 Posted October 25, 2009 #20 Share Posted October 25, 2009 http://www.btia.org/hotels_member_profile.php?member_id=1070 Calypso Train Tours and it does not look like it needs to be booked through the ship. I e mailed them about our trip because I thought it looked like a good thing to do with the little kids after we take the big kids snorkeling, and it doesn't take all that long, either.

I also emailed Calypso and they replied that they are contracted thru the cruiselines only. Right now they do not offer the tours thru Carnival because they do not have enough trolleys. You can book thru the other lines though. She also said they would take individuals on a first come first serve basis if the trolley is not completely book. You can try to get on at the pier. We are trying to find an excursion suitable for a 5 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are trying to find an excursion suitable for a 5 year old. I talked to them, too... SO friendly. They only run Wednesdays in the fall, and you are right, it is through the cruise lines, unfortunately. HOWEVER -- the zoo is supposed to be really neat for the kids. AND I think we've decided on Caye Caulker for our 4, 5 and 10 year olds... the little kids can stay on the beach with my friend while I take our boys snorkeling off the beach. It should be win/win for us and I won't have to go back to the ship to get them (the younger kids) mid-day, which is what I'd originally considered so I could snorkel with my son, 10. We took my son and daughter last fall on a cruise and I had them by myself at two of the ports (Georgetown and Cozumel). We had the BEST beach days ever... quiet beaches, they brought their own sand buckets and toys (Jack had snorkel gear) and we spend the whole day relaxing on the beach, playing in the mild surf and on the beach and enjoying the ocean. Sometimes just laid back is the way to go! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPIcruiser Posted November 9, 2009 #25 Share Posted November 9, 2009 We loved Jungle, River, Land Rover, Cave Expedition. I cannot say enough good things about this excursion. Out of ten cruises, this one of the top three excursions we have done. We booked it through RCCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
