chefdeedee Posted March 15, 2005 #26 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Dear Friends here are some tips Went Cave tubing with Princess - We went with the ship due to the fact that we were on a limited time frame. There were 500 people on the tour - 5 bus loads - never saw a snake. Positives - Cool experience to walk thru an actual rain forest - it was pouring rain - The caves were neat to see, l (water was cool) - water was crystal clear. Negatives Our head lamps were not "bright enough" to actually see the formations in the caves. The changing room "lockers" are little thatched huts with no security - if you don't want to lose it - don't bring it - The bathrooms are not adequate to accomodate the amount of people on the tours - they stopped working when we were there. The life vests you have to wear stink of mold and mildew :( - you will stink like those vests the whole time, and will be anxious to wash your clothes when you get back to the ship. Most people on the tour were chilled to the bone before we ever got into the rivers - because it was raining cats and dogs and they weren't dressed properly. Water was on the very cool side - good thing we wore "dive skins" to retain body temperature - hubby and I were the only ones "warm". Could not hear the tour guide - there were so many people screaming - could not learn a thing. The bus ride - The bus driver drove off the road at 70 mph to pass a house being moved on the road - yup - I said it - a house - We thought the bus was gonna tip over - we were terrified. Would I do it again - no way - not worth 99.00 - glad I did it - yes - I can say I did it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontrangecruiser Posted March 17, 2005 #27 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hi, I recently took the tour, it was fascinating, my family loved it. To be honest, I'm not a great swimmer, and I had a young child with me, but the tour company I took was very good. They took extra precaution with my child, so I felt very safe. I was honest in the beginning and told the guide that I was not a good swimmer. The company I went with was A-1 Travel, I paid $60.00, and they took us to areas that no one else went. Our guide really made it lots more fun. You can email them if you like at attbelize@hotmail.com, or call them at 1-877-5BELIZE. Tell them Fred sent you if you decide to try them. People...this person has posted on all the Belieze cave tubing threads....this is a scam..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
