davidyal Posted July 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Planning on our first time cruise with the kids- ages 8, 6, 4 on the Carnival Magic in August. I'm overwhelmed by the options for shore excursions. Any ideas on best ideas for young kids 8, 6, 4? Most of the items on carnival.com show age 8 minimum. Is it better to book in advance or arrange upon arrival? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the river Wallace tour in Belize loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooner-Cruisers Posted July 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2015 For Cozumel you should definitely check out playa Mia. We bought our tickets through shoreexcursioneer.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted July 29, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2015 For Belize, you can check out cave tubing dot bz. Not sure what the minimum age is, but they are a good company to use in Belize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfjock27 Posted July 29, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2015 In Roatan we did an excursion through Carnival called "Maya Key" and it is still my favorite excursion to this day. They have a gorgeous beach, zoo and animal sanctuary. They provide lunch, snorkeling, etc. A delicious lunch is provided. They have a few small museums on property and a gift shop, changing rooms, etc. We spent the first part of the day in the water snorkeling/swimming, had lunch and then wandered the key looking at all the animals and museums.

wampuscat7 Posted July 29, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) I'm looking at this same itinerary, but with a toddler. DH and I have been to Roatan and Belize (before child). We did cave tubing (dot com) in Belize and Tabyana )SP?) Beach in Roatan. The cave tubing was a blast, but a 6-year-old might be too little. I wouldn't take a 4 year old. I've heard there is a zoo in Belize. Not sure about that. Have you been over to the Ports subforum? Edited July 29, 2015 by wampuscat7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it is a good idea (I'm going with, no...) but they say they will take infants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted July 30, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Oh wow, don't think I would take an infant - there is about a 30-45 minute hike to the cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topspot Posted July 31, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) OP, search for posts by Mitsugirly. She has reviews of things she has done at all of these ports in her signature. She has pictures in her reviews so you can see some of the places, and has done cave tubing when her little one was around your little one's age. :) Better yet go to this page in CC http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2229685&highlight=mitsugirly Post #5 this is where you can find ideas and reviews.
