Default For Belize shore excursions

There is extensive coral reef that lines the coastline of Belize so the ship has to dock 5 miles out and you are tendered in…the tenders are frequent and fast. We booked a cave tubing tour through a company : http://www.abelizadventure.bravehost.com. Upon arriving, you will most likely be met by Donald. There is approximately a 1-hour drive to the river. Donald is a native of Belize and upon departure from the dock; he will give you a little tour of Belize City and fill you in on things along the way. He will also give you a little history on the area and answer any questions you may have.

Upon arriving at the river, you will get your tube and begin the 25 or so minute walk through the rainforest and with Donald as your guide. With Donald you will learn a lot there is to know about the local flora and fauna. Be sure to ask Donald to call up a troop of howler monkeys for you. Donald is full of knowledge and is proud to share his beautiful country with you. If you go with Donald, Donald or his partners, will take you further up the river (if weather permits) to a second cave. You will be supplied a headlamp prior to getting in the water.

The excursion is not difficult and Donald is good at aiding those that may need some assistance but remember, there is a long walk and you may end up swimming if you are not careful. There are locals that are stationed along the river to help anyone that might get into a bit of trouble along the way. If you are not a strong swimmer, use a life vest. Since the water level was high and the river was a bit up…Donald asked that we all wear a life vest. Better safe than sorry and it is easy to flip over in the caves. .

And don’t worry about making it back on time…as Donald puts it, “Don’t worry…I am working, you are on vacation.” Would love to have his job!
