Is CCL's "Cenote Hopping, Snorkeling, Zipline & Lunch" too much for a 76 year old woman?

My family (me, husband and 2 kids) and I really want to do Carnival's Cenote Hopping, Snorkeling, Zipline, and Lunch excursion.  I am wanting to know whether my 76 year old mother should come on this excursion, too.   It is listed as only moderate activity, but I worry it might be a bit much for her based on descriptions.  She would be fine on the zipline as we put her in a tube and pull her around behind our boat and she rides with my kids on their go cart.  Her issue would more with walking long distances (especially on uneven ground) as she has some issues with her knees.

First off, this is a fantastic excursion, one of our favorites ever. The zip line is optional, you can just swim but if you zip line you have to drop 20 to 30 ft. It's quite a bit of walking overall (maybe 2 miles) but there are gravel paths and it's pretty smooth but with some slopes. It is broken up as you walk to the first cenote, swim a bit, walk to the next and so on. Each stop has a spot she could sit and rest while everyone swims or jumps.  Also, the meal was delicious.

 

With the ferry ride each way, hour plus bus ride each way, it's a long day but totally worth it. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
