Zipline Adventure & Cave Tubing
The zip line tour features an intricate harness system of pulleys on horizontal traverse cables, which let you swing 100 to 124-feet between platforms and 70-feet high in the trees, at canopy level. The first two hours are spent flying through the forest with the birds. Your next adventure is cave tubing. Be prepared for a 45-minute hike down a jungle trail to the underground cave system. Your guide will hand out headlamps and you'll jump in for a leisurely float on an inner tube, with the gentle currents taking you through the cave system. Observe intricate crystalline formations line the cave, including the majestic rise and fall of stalagmites and stalactites.
Note: Participants must be at least 12 years of age and weigh at least 95 lbs. and no more than 250 lbs. The cave system and its waterways may cause claustrophobia in a very small percentage of guests. Not recommended for pregnant women. Wear a swimsuit, tennis shoes (which will get wet) or water shoes and bring a towel.

Great adventure but be prepared.
I agree with a previous reviewer who felt this should be an activity level 3, not an activity level 2. I am over 50, overweight and short. Not a great combination for this excursion.
To begin you have a 30-45 min drive each way to the caves. Our guide, Edgar, was great. He shared a lot of information about Belize and had a great sense of humor. He made the drive enjoyable.
I was prepared for the 45 minute hike for the cave tubing but was not prepared for the multitude of stairs you have to hike in the heat in order to reach the top of the ziplining. Most people struggled with this portion as well. To add to the difficulty, you have to jump and pull yourself up so they can attach you to the gear. When you are short and have no upper body strength, it is extremely difficult to get your waist up to a 5 foot high level in some cases. Had I known this, I probably would have skipped the ziplining portion. As difficult as it was, it was great fun and took me out of my comfort level which was the goal.
After ziplining we were plenty hungry and had a great lunch. Then we took our tubes and hiked for about 45 mins to the start of the cave tubing. I was prepared for this portion of the excursion and had little trouble but there were others in the group that struggled. It was about 90 degrees out and really helped when I took off the life vest for the walk as it was adding to the heat. You walk through the river 3 times before getting to the beginning of the tubing and that will cool you down during the walk. We got the see howler monkeys and the walk was gorgeous. Our guide was very informative and a joy to listen to. The caves are beautiful and the tubing was relaxing and a great way to cool down after the ziplining. I would suggest taking a waterproof camera on this portion as we have no pictures of the beautiful jungle and wildlife we saw.
Overall it was a great adventure and I'm glad we did it. I had no trouble with other level 2 activities we did but this one was difficult. If you are in better shape and/or taller than 5 ft, you should be fine. I would definitely recommend this excursion for those who can handle the physical side of it.

Best Excursion of Cruise
If you want a relaxing day, this is not the tour for you. If you want adventure and activity, it is. It's called Level 2 but I would call it Level 3. Try to do the ziplining first because you will be sweatyand the cave tubing is more refreshing. The only difficult part of the ziplining is two brief hikes and that you have to jump in the air to get hooked in but this is well worth it. We did 7 zips, some of them as long as 600-700 feet. it was exhilarating. Then we broke for lunch which was decent and then on to the cave tubing. I elected not to switch to water shoes and that was a mistake. Not only will your shoes get wet but they will smell of the river. My mistake. You will have to walk in thigh deep water to get to the other side of the river and then a 45 minute walk to get to the tubes. This was probably the most exhausting part of the day so be ready for it especially in the heat after ziplining. Most everyone does the cave tubing in tandem where you can just lay in the tube and do nothing. However my group of 7 wanted to freestyle and so for better or worse I had to as well. It was a workout because you have to backstroke alot. In the end I was happy we did that..good exercise and the people floating in tandem seemed jealous of us. First you are in a cave and then outside along the river. Fortunately we had come full circle and were then only 5 minutes away from where to catch the bus and boat back to ship. It was a long day but well worth it and we still had a half hour to shop (there's a chocolate factory right by the boat. Great day and well worth the money.

A great time. The walk to the launch point for the tubing is about 15 minutes. It is across an uneven bed of river rocks. Just be prepared.

This was an awesome excursion. My wife is afraid of heights but picked this excursion as a way to conquer her fear. She loved it. We both had a wonderful time on both the zip lining and cave tubing. We had Peter as our tour guide and he did a great job of filling us in on the history of Belize during the ride to the excursion site. He made everyone feel comfortable about the excursion and about the country of Belize. He pointed out several different places of interest and was very knowledgeable about the entire area. He made the excursion all the better. The lunch provided was a great and well set up. Javier was our guide in the cave tubing section which was a wonderful experience. He pointed out several different attractions on our walk through the jungle to get to the river. The scenery was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone that wants to have a great time. This is a physical excursion so if you feel out if shape you may have some difficulty with the climb during zip lining and the walk through the jungle.

Great time
My wife was apprehensive about the zip lining as she is afraid of heights but she had no problems. Both parts of this excursion were very enjoyable. The trip through the caves was fun as well as informative. It was my wife's favorite part of the excursion. The only surprise was the number of stairs between a couple of the zip line platforms. We were huffing and puffing, but were able to stop and rest when needed without feeling rushed. We actually did the tubing first, then a very good lunch (good variety and good quality) and finally the zip lining.

Great Time!
Four of us took this adventure during the second week of January and had a blast! The zip lining was super organized and moved in a timely manner. The lunch served was good and plentiful. Our cave tubing was also fun and informative (we even ate termites which tasted like tiny little cruncy radishes), Luckily it was the drier season so no mosquitos as they tend to eat me alive! The only draw back was that the helmets and life jackets really smelled sour. Otherwise I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good time.

Entertaining Guide and Awesome Activities
This excursion was one of the three we took during our cruise and stood out as the best because of the friendly people we met during the adventure, our enthusiastic and energetic tour guide Edgar and the quality of the activities. Cave tubing through the jungle was beautiful and refreshing on a hot day and ziplining through the trees was amazing and thrilling. We saw a pair of toucans in the rustic setting and enjoyed the scenery and tour on the busride to and from the site.

Zip line excursion
This was an awesome excursion, but the actual zip lining was too short. If we could have done this 2 or 3 times it would have been worth it. Nice lunch and friendly crew. The tour guide was awesome with all of the information about Belize City.

Best tour of my trip
This was my favorite tour of my cruise. Yes, there was a bus ride, but the tour guide was talkative and fun. The trek to the river was great, and our guide pointed out many plants and animals, but some older or out of shape guests were complaining about the hike. Wear hiking sandals or shoes you can hike in. The river was refreshingly cool, and the caves and the rock formations were BEAUTIFUL. After the caves, the float down river was also wonderful- pale green water and birds everywhere. I was gald to have a towel and change of clothes for after the river. Then we did lunch- it had gringo options (burgers, etc) which I skipped, as well as more local foods like beans and rice - the baked platains were amazing. There was also a stand where you could get a fresh coconut to drink the water- very refreshing. Then we did the zipline. It was mid sized compared to others I have done- no giant zips, but fun and fast. I thought it was great fun, but there are quite a few stairs, so again some out of shape folks were complaining. Overall it was a great tour. I would recommend it for fit, adventurous people. Not great for small kids or those who can't hike and climb.
