Cave tubing in Belize???
Hi..We are going on the NCL Sea in Dec. One of our stops is at Belize...the
cave tubing excursion sounds wonderful...the only problem is our daughter is 11 yrs. old and the information says it's for people 12 yrs. and older. Is it possible to bring her on this activity? It sounds great... Thanks, Jenny |

Cave tubing in Belize???
We have just booked to go cave tubing in Belize during Thanksgiving with
Reggie at It seems that there are no age restrictions, although he needed to know about children under 10yrs who need a life jacket when he replied an email booking. Look at the website, as this may suit you better and from what I read, there are many recommendations from satisfied tubers! Hope this helps ~ BL7 |

Cave tubing in Belize???
Yes I have done this excursion. A great deal depends on how independent your
daughter is. Can she carry a tube for 45 min. - hour? Freely swim and paddle by herself? There are some swift moving water over rocks that you have to cross and swift water in the tube- will this "freak" her out??? It is an excellent excursion but it greatly depends on the child. I took my 8 year old neice once to Sting Ray sandbar and she couldn't tolerate it- only an example. The tour involves an hour+ van ride from town- about 7-8 miles on very rough nonpaved road. A short walk to the river- crossing the river- an uphill climb then a level 45 min+ walk, back down to the river, in and out of caves, with some walking in the river in spots. - to back where you started. |

Cave tubing in Belize???
We were tubing with Reggie last February. We had our son and nephew both 13
with us. I will say that it was nothing that they were unable to do, but it was difficult for them and they are both good athletes. In the dry season there is a lot of paddling to do and the water was quite cool. The day was plenty warm thankfully, but they were still both chattering by the end. I guess it just depends on the individual child. "J. Orr" wrote in message ... Hi..We are going on the NCL Sea in Dec.

Jenny Cave Tubing was the most fun I have had on any excursion. I am so glad you are taking her, you will have a wonderful time. We went with Reggie. I took an underwater camera with me, the photos remind me how much fun we had. I had a lanyard around my neck, I had the camera hooked to the lanyard. That was a great idea, because you need both hands to be free. Also, wear a t-shirt, it will keep your upper arms from rubbing against the inner tube as you paddle. You will not need bug spray or suntan lotion on this excursion. Wear AquaSocks or something similar. Becca -----will do the cave tubing again...

Then use a "fanny pack" with a shortened strap around your neck, place the camera in a baggie for even more protection. Nothing gets wet as your head is out of the water and you can keep all your valuables with you. |

Is this an excursion that would be okay for them? |
