Advice on Limon and Belize excursions

We are doing the Panama/Caribbean cruise on the Coral Princess in March and are in the process of booking excursions. Has anyone done the Rain Forest Jitney ride and Skywalk in Limon? We would either like to do this tour or the rainforest aerial tram but several reviews we have read say that you don't see much wildlife on the aerial tram. Also, how strenuous is the walking/climbing involved to reach the skywalk as one of our party is elderly (although reasonably fit.)

The excursion we are thinking of in Belize is the Jungle River Tubing (as opposed to cave tubing). Again, is this suitable for an elderly person. Don't think the actual tubing is a problem, just whether it is easy to get in and out of the tube. Any advice would be welcome.

Can you post some details about the tram--Is the the one in Gamboa Forest, Panama? If so, how steep is the incline--does the little seat cage swing very much. I am afraid of heights. This is an expensive trip--is it worth it? Do you get time to explore the area where the tram is located or is it just a ride to the tram & the tram trip itself?

No this tour I make in Port Limon, Costa Rica, is beautiful. The Rain Forest Aerial Trams in Costa Rica provide tourists with a unique “bird's eye view†.During the 90-minute ride in a silent gondola that skims the rainforest floor and then soars above giant trees you can take pictures of the tropical plants you see and wildlife that is show you during the visit. I saw a white faced monkeys there.

Try it !!!!

We are on the 8th March sailing - our first cruise! We noticed the excursions on the website about a week ago, then got the excursion book in the post a couple of days later (so about 9 weeks before our cruise). We booked them on website on Saturday.

We are doing the Ocean to Ocean Panama tour, the Costa Rica Favourites in Limon which includes the Canals and aerial tram (this is the one we are not sure of - couldn't decide between this and doing canals separately as well as Jitney ride and Skywalk, hence our posting!). At Grand Cayman we have booked the Island Highlights and Stingray Snorkel - again, not sure because we've read that Grand Cayman is closed until January due to hurricane last year and that the Turtle Hatchery included in the tour doesn't exist any more. At Belize the Jungle River Tubing and Lunch (although have posted for advice on this one too with no reply!). At Cozumel the semi-sub in morning and shore snorkel in afternoon. Seems like rather a lot of excursions and we may cut down a bit although don't want to miss anything! Very easy to edit reservations on website though if we change our minds.

Is this your first cruise?

In port Limon you can do many things to have fun, you can do aerial tram trip, Tortuguero canals tour, pineapple tour that is wonderfull too and higly recommended when you do not have enough time. But if you want some adventure you can do the zip lining tour, snorkeling and kayak tour or better the white water rafting tour.
