I've heard alot of good things about tubing with Reggie. Do you have to book online with him or can you pay and join the excursion when you get off the ship? Any info you can give would be appreciated.

We booked on-line as did about a dozen other couples we met on these great cruise forums. We paid in cash at the pier. Reggie will take additional people, but he will bring the proper size vehicle for the group. He has vans and a recondidtioned bus. You can pre-pay by credit card if you wish on-line. We had a great time with some time left at the pier for shopping. We did not have time to stop for lunch though.

Nanatravel,
How deep is the water and what month did you go? Were you happy with Reggie?

Nanatravel, I was wondering how hard was the 30 minute hike on Reggies cave tubing tour? My husband and I are both overweight, each weighing about 220 lbs, but we exercise regularly etc. Did you notice any overweight people on the tour and how difficult it was for them? Is it mostly a level path, or are we talking about steep hills, etc??

We were there this past April, dry season. No bugs and lower water level. When we came upon dry spots, Reggie, would let everyone know they had to get up and out of the tube. You then ported your tube to the next let in. I am sure some areas are much deeper than others. With dry season, also, you can get "hung up" on rocks if you don't paddle away from the low sports. This happened many times and is a little difficult to get out.
The trek through the rain forest is on a graded path, thus old canvas sneakers or teva style sandals work out best. It is a 30-45 minute walk through shaded jungle. Is is not straight up hill but gradual. Well, I am probably in the similar out of shape category and I have asthma which gets triggered by humidity and exertion. I kept a piece of gum in my mouth for moisture, we made several short stops for the group to catch up, and the walk did not bother me at all. It wasn't as hot as I thought it would be as it was shady. The paddleing was more strenuous than I had ever imagined. I ended up with Rubber burn on the underside of both arms. Thank goodness I had some Hydrocortisone. All in all I am glad that I did it as I was really looking forward to doing something different. Reggie gages the size of the tube to the individual, also.
Bon Voyage

We were on a trip with Reggie last week. I am about 240 lbs, with asthma & knee problems. Reggie is a FAST walker, but the hike was manageable for me. It was only my husband, me & Reggie se we were able to move past others on the trail. Reggie indicated the water was a little high & running a little more swiftly than usual. Most of my difficulty was stopping my tube & standing up in the swift water once in the cave & then again at the stopping point. You will need footwear on the trail, (I wore TEVA sandals), & in the water as the bottom is very rocky & you will have to walk in and out as well as stand in the water a couple of times. If I could do this, anyone could.

I just wanted to give you all an FYI on the cave tubing. They cancelled that excursion on my 11/8 Glory cruise due to the high levels of the river due to excessive rain. Just keep in mind if you book this excursion that there is a possibility that it could get cancelled. Although, this was the first time I have heard of such an excursion being cancelled on this board.

We used Reggie this past July. My wife and I had no problem with any aspect of this excursion. We are both in our late 40's and ashamed to say very rarely have time to exercise and we had no problem . I recommend it highly!:AL:USA

Hi Diane!
Hey, I'll be on the 1/26/04 Splendour as well, and I've also booked an excursion with Reggie. However, I'll be snorkeling with the Manatees. You'll probably get Reggie, whereas I'll probably get his wife, or one of the other two friends/relatives he has working with him. Anyway, you can contact him via email at: Regtour@btl.net or view his website at www.regtour.com. Keep in touch, hope I see you onboard. I'm in cabin 3791 on Deck 3 if you want to drop by, or leave a message. If you're looking for someone to join you on an excursion, see a movie onboard, enjoy a meal together, or see a show, let me know. There's a couple of us travelling solo, so it'd be nice if we could get together. I was thinking maybe 5pm in the Viking Crown Lounge on 1/26/04 if you want to say hello? There's about a dozen of us so far from the 2 or 3 major boards who've been emailing each other. If you don't mind, please let me know who you're travelling with, what your dining time is, what cabin your in, and what excursions you've booked. Thanks! Take care and enjoy your cruise...
