jay007 Posted December 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2014 This is listed as a "Ship Tour" - Anyone have experience with this "Tour". Is it possible to take a cab there (How much ?) and independently pay admittance ? I would love to avoid the "Ship-Tour" scene and maximize our time there. We would also do the Horse back riding and Canoeing as well. Anyone familiar ? - Cave Tubing - Option (Via Local tour) is our second option.

Rare crewsweeper Posted December 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Bring Bug spray!:eek: One reason to use a ship tour is the distance. It can take between 40 minutes to an hour to reach the park depending on traffic and road conditions. If you take a taxi, you'll have to arrange for the taxi to return at a certain time for you to come back to the tender pier (at least 1 hour prior to the last tender time for your ship) and you're at the risk of the driver not showing up. Taxi fare could be around $35 pp each way. (About what it costs to the zoo.) Some fares are fixed by the Belize taxi association but others could be negotiated with the driver. I can't speak to the admission fees but the park does have a website and you can reach out to them for information on entrance fees and separate tours. www.bacabecopark.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazelroo Posted December 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 3, 2014 About 3 years ago I did the horseback riding excursion there. It was a lot of fun. Afterwards we had a really good buffet lunch and had time to swim in the pool or just relax. It was kind of a rainy day, so we didn't swim, but the pool looked really nice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay007 Posted December 5, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Crewsweeper- Is it really $35 a person for a taxi ??? Or is it $35 for the family ? Hazelroo - Did you go to the park as a ship optional or on your own ? Did you prefer it to the "Cave-Tubing" Edited December 5, 2014 by jay007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted December 5, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Crewsweeper- Is it really $35 a person for a taxi ??? Or is it $35 for the family ? I think it's per taxi. My apologies for indicating per person, my last rip was a single person trip to the airport.:o Edited December 5, 2014 by crewsweeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazelroo Posted December 5, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hazelroo - Did you go to the park as a ship optional or on your own ? We took the excursion offered by the ship (Carnival). It was our first time to Belize and we knew it was a bit of a drive so we went through the ship to play it safe. When I go back in April we are doing cave tubing with .bz.

jay007 Posted December 6, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted December 6, 2014 HazelRoo - We are stopping at Belize over Christmas - (RCCL) Given the choice would your recommend the Park or Tubing (cave tubing with .bz) If you went on your own - how did you and/or work with the Tender since Ship Tours have priority ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
