sandi422 Posted October 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2013 We have never done an excursion like this before. We are doing the excursion offered by Carnival. River boat ride and explore the ruins in Belize. What would be the best footwear? Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted October 9, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'd recommend tennis/running shoes. boat decks could be slippery for flops and sandals. Water shoes or the water/hiking shoes, or the "5 finger" shoes work just fine too, but surf/beach type water shoes might have too thin of a sole.

wantocruisemore Posted October 9, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 9, 2013 DH and I did this same excursion with Carnival the other week. He wore tennis shoes with socks. I wore Keen Whisper sandals. They have the enclosed toe and are skid resistant on wet surfaces. For the boat it did not matter, but even though the general area was not wet, there were a few areas that were a little slippery when climbing. More important is to bring a hat with a chin strap for the boat. There's no cover and it can go fast and the sun is hot. Also, we were extra equipped in case of mosquitoes. Sometimes you get them, sometimes not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCP Posted October 14, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 14, 2013 We did the tour with NCL - comfy walking shoes and BUG spray! We loved it, and were thankful we remembered to bring the DEET. There were a few who were not into spraying *poison* on themselves....and they were covered with mosquitos when we were walking to the ruins...I cannot imagine how many bites they must've gotten!
