After tendering ashore, you will meet your tour right on the cruise pier. From here you will walk to your transportation and drive from Belize City towards the Maya mountains of Belize. During the approximately one hour drive to the jungle, you will see the Belize countryside where much of Belize's agriculture is grown. As you get closer to the mountains, you will see pasture turn into lush jungle. Turning off the main highway, you will drive along a curving road further into the jungle.
Upon arrival, you will walk approximately 5 minutes over a packed dirt and gravel path to the starting point for your ZIP adventure. After a safety demonstration and strapping up, you will climb the stairs to your first platform. While you are traversing the lush canopy you will learn about the ecosystem that will surround you. There will be staff on each of the ten platforms for maximum safety. The highest platform is120 feet and the longest Zip is 600 feet in length. There are a total of 7 zip lines. The entire course takes approximately 45 - 50 minutes to complete.
after completing your ZIP line adventure, you will have approximately two hours of free time for swimming in the nearby river. With its beautiful natural setting, it is very possible you may forget all your problems. You may also wish to purchase some local cuisine at the onsite restaurant.
At the end of your free time, you will board your transportation for the approximately one hour drive back to the pier in Belize City.
Please note: The river bottom is rocky and tennis shoes (which will get wet) or water shoes are required. The drive from the main highway to the tour location does go over some unpaved road which is uneven/bumpy.
Please note: Tour times listed are in local time. Due to the difference between local and ship time, Carnival guests must book the earliest local time departure.
