Cozumel - Amazing Secret River - Weight Limit

[KristynMc]

Hi all!

 

My husband and I will be going to Cozumel for our first wedding anniversary in November.

 

We are very interested in The Amazing Secret River excursion. However, I see that there is a weight limit listed as 250lb. What is the reason for this weight limit, and do you think it will be enforced? My husband is 6'2 and over 250lb, where as I am under 250lb, but 5'2 and overweight. We weren't sure of its because the wet suit might not fit, or if it was for a serious safety concern.

 

Thanks for your help!

I would guess there are several reasons including wet suit size, tight confined spaces, and steep wet slippery surfaces.

 

This is my favorite excursion that I've ever done through carnival. I hope you can do it because you will love it.

We did this in February and they did not weigh us. I had an XXL for a life jacket. They did have one more size up. Super cool experience. High light for my husband who is afraid of swimming.

Sorry wet suit not life jacket.

We just did this in March- its very cool- but it's a long day. The on,y thing would be because of the wet suit and life jacket. They were super helpful on this excursion. I would book it and then when you go to check-in inquire about the issue. The host from the tour company is going to give you the best information. If they say no- you'll get you're money back - but I can't imagine they will.

Your experience may differ. If there is a weight limit and your guide chooses to follow it, they can and you may find yourself in an awkward predicament. Some excursion operators do use a weight scale, some do not. If you are within 5-10 pounds, it might be waived but 25+, not likely.

loose weight?

I was on a horseback riding excursion last summer and we all had to get on a scale. My son was once on a parasailing excursion and they did not let one of the guys go up even though he was on the boat. I know both of these are different circumstances and were safety factors especially for the horses but I would definitely check before I went there and was disappointed.
