Hi,
Sailing on the Spirit 2/12, any recommendations for good tours in these 3 ports? Any to avoid?

Done all of these ports at least 2x and most recent this Nov and last dec (Spirit). Depending on your preferences for activity level:

Belize: cave tubing (privat with Reggie) or Altun Ha/Rio Wallace (CCL)(did)
Costa Rica: Ariel Tram or whitewater rafting(did)
Panama: Train (pax response-we hired a car and driver)

Hope this helps

In Belize try shark-ray alley or cave tubing...you won't be disappointed with either.

Could you say more about the rapids? Could active healthy grandparents enjoy this? Could you take any pictures? (water-tight camera) Did you see any creatures on the shores? Did you hear any Panama Canal visitors saying anything bad about any of the sidetrips?

In Belize, my husband took the Shark Ray Alley tour, I took the cave tubing. Both were wonderful!! Take extra strong sunblock though. Let me know if you would like pictures.

Thanks for the picture offer but I think your husband already shared some with me....fabulous. I've decided to go with the Reggie tubing.....sounds like lots of fun....although the price is probably the same (almost) as the cruise because they give you a lunch with theres and Reggie's family place is five each right? Anyway, I like the idea of being with a "smaller" group. Were you able to get off the ship early to meet up with him? What happens if someone gets there early and someone else gets there 1 1/2 hours later....do you stand around waiting? What did you do in Panama and Limone Costa Rica? Thanks for all that you two share with us.

Hi Shannon,

Looking for more info on the shark ray alley. I'm interested in knowing if it's a swim/snorkle excursion, like Swimming with the StingRays, or if you just look at the sharks from in the boat.

Thx!

I took the Shark Ray Alley excursion in Belize in September. My wife took the Cave Tubing excursion, we both had a wonderful time!!! If you'd like more details, let me know.

Shark Ray Alley is a swim & snorkel. There is a large barrier reef there and they anchor the boats and you swim out to the reef and then snorkel. This was beautiful. We were there at low tide and part of the coral is out of the water. You have to watch where you are going to not get into it. A very good excursion.

We are bringing our two kids ages 4 and 6 with us on the Carnival Legend to these ports this Friday. Would we able to do these tours? Any suggestions? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
