Personally I want to go snorkeling when I get there in January - I've been told by many that Belize has some amazing unspoilt coral and plenty of marine life. I guess cave-tubing is for the more adventurous - I'm a little scared to do it to be honest, but then I like the easy life when I'm on a cruise ;)

There are plenty of cavetubing reviews on here too though, so you could check them out.

I'm going to Turniff Atoll on a catamaran tour, the will pick us up directly from the ship and I've heard good reviews about the tour on here and from other friends - they give us time on a 'desert island' too - can't wait to get there!

Depends on what you are going to do at your other ports of call. I went cave tubing with cave-tubing.com and it was great. Do not be scare to take this tour. There were a wide range of ages on our tour. There is a 40 minute walk to is not strenuous, but rather enjoyable. The rest was float down the river in a chain fashion so no strayed away. Very cool tour. One of the great things about this is that it did not require a deposit up front and the tour was much longer and better than the ships tour. I did this one a couple of weeks ago.

There are other ports with better snorkeling.

Hi bobobeagle

I've been snorkeling in Cozumel before and it was great, so I'll let you know how the belize-paradise.com snorkel tour compares... I'll be going soon and will be sure to post comments here when I get back.

I can't wait, less than a week to go...! Gene

I know the the frustrartion and being torn between decisions.

I was hoping to do both - cave tubing and snorkeling. I always try to cram 27 hours into the day - especially on vacation- drives DW nuts.

I looked at the schedule and figured there would be plenty of time to go with Yhony in the morning and maybe hit an afternoon snorkel with belize-com.

These boards and the invention of e-mail is great. Disappointing but great.

According to several sources ( including Yhony) there is not enough time. I have to pick one or the other.

So much to do - to little time.
