Cave tubing in Belize with children?

My family and I are taking a vacation to Belize in November and was looking at cave tubing. We have read really good reviews about it, but I also read where there was a lady killed doing this excursion, and there were snakes in the water, so this terrifies me. We have two children ages 8 and 5 that would be going as well. I'm just not sure if I'm sold on the idea of taking the kids' on this type of excursion unless it's safe.

Has anyone taken children cave tubing in Belize, and if so, how was it? Thanks so much!

    We took three kids cave tubing in Belize and had a great time. It's the No. 1 adventure tour in Belize for some good reasons. It's both fun and educational.

    We didn't see any snakes, and we never felt we were in an unsafe situation of any kind.

    There are no guarantees, of course, but many situations have a small degree of risk. In this case, I think the risk is small enough that you should be OK.

    You're not cruising, obviously, but you can find info on this excursion [it's a big favorite on the cruise lines] by going to CruiseCritic.com and clicking on "Boards". Go to the "Ports of Call" board, click on "Caribbean" and go to "Belize" and browse the board there. Or, if you join CC, you can post a question.

    You may want to check to see on which days there will be cruise ships in port, because there will then be a lot of their passengers on this excursion, which may be good or bad for you.

    People do occasionally have accidents doing such activities, just like anything else. Often, it's because of their own carelessness. It seems that I read on the Belize board that there are no snakes in that river. I know people who have done that excursion and they loved it, despite the long bus ride there and back and the long climb up to the starting point, carrying innertubes! We did a similar excursion in Jamaica and loved it.

    while it comprises events that is risk-free. My subject is your 2 year previous. It relies upon on the warmth and while you're prepared to take her everywhere you circulate. i became there final year for a complete year. I had my infant with me and it became a lots of exciting. I in simple terms had to plot thus and %. inner maximum excursions. in case you %. a excursion with human beings you need to shop as much as surely everyone else paste. which may make issues troublesome and uncomfortable. i could attempt contacting gibsons excursions and transfers. yet another excursion instruction manual I used became vitalino reyes. they are locals and delightful.
