From what I have heard, and ladies feel free to jump in, some of the excursions are limited, not all though....what happens is especially on the limited ones..........everyone books the same nite......I believe it is sunday....so there are alot of women meeting at the bar pen and paper in hand and making sure they book with the women they want to be with.....it doesnt matter what time you submit your requests on the first nite......it isnt first come first served........I believe its like a lottery so all is fair as to not penalize the late arrivers...........sleddog, Jess, do you veteran gals know the answer to this, I have done 3 resorts and it has been a long time...........most of my trips were the cruises..........I know things have changed.......but it is a good question akmedic........hope more answers come your way, but this is what I think!

SO i don't know if this has been asked or not.... but

is the excursions going to be like they were on the cruise.... only so many people can go? Or is it, each is going to be offered everyday so to speak so everyone can go? we dont get into Ixtapa untill 430 in the afternoon and then get there to find that everything is full.... it will bum me out so bad. I want so badly to go swimming with the dolphins, the zip line tour, and my parnter wants to do the sunset cruise and then maybe the shopping tour!

oh just thinking about all this make me so excited its hard to sit here at work....

 

We also did a zip line in Costa Rica.  There was a good bit of walking to get to the top, but the zip line itself requires no special skill; at one point they had us let go completely and just "zip".  Very fun, as long as you're not afraid of heights. Cost listed on a link from a previous post was $55, who knows if that's what they'll charge.

The Zip Line tours run about $50.00 per person.  Come on what do you have to loss.... this is a once in a lifetime adventure.  I think it would be great fun to get a large group together for this excursion.  We will all support each other and have a blast!

Oh, thanks for that. I too, thought I was too out of shape. I do have some limits to my shoulder - does that mean I'll crash into a tree. Next question: anyone know how much it costs?

When we did the canopy tour in Costa Rica there was no althletic ability needed.  My mom did it with us and she is about 100 lbs soaking wet (I take after my dad)  and was 60 years old at the time!  They strap you in pretty good, with a harness around both thighs and then you kind of sit on your bum in the harness..much like para-sailing.  They gave us some heavy gloves and then you controlled your speed with a hand over your head, on the line....pushing down with that hand to "BREAK"  Your other hand holds on to the line connecting you to the zip line.  we did not find it challenging physically, but let me tell you you should have a good set of lungs as there was some serious screaming going on!  LOL  Hope this is not to hard  to follow..

chevy thats an excellent question, as much as I would like to partake.....I am not afraid of the splat , I am afraid of how much physical is involved...doesnt anyone know.  I am not a weakling but I have a few challenges. Thanks for asking that question. 

Does anyone know how physically fit you need to be to do the zip line??  I've been toying with the idea but I'll be the first to admit that I am NOT in shape and I wondered if there is alot of hiking or upper body strength required??  It would be mortifying to go "Splat" in an attempt to go "Zip".... 

This is the web site I was looking at concerning the zip line.  http://www.toursinixtapazihuatanejo.com/zipline-canopy.html

My partner (Azar) has done the one in Cancun and loved it!

She probably would be up to doing this one also.

I'll let her know I've volunteered her for this excursion!!!

Hey gals!

Keep me in the loop on this one... I have always wanted to try it.  My girl really isn't into heights and traveling by zip line but I am sure she wouldn't mind if I checked it out. 

We did a canopy tour in Costa Rica.

It was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!  We literally walked up a flight of stairs and were on our way.  Before we knew it we were above the canopy of trees and crapping our pants.  It was so worth it!   Although we did not see any wild life, we could hear the monkeys in the distance.  we loved every moment.  A word to those on this excursion..DON'T LOOK DOWN!!!

Hey there ladies ~

I've had a could of friends who went on the zip line tour in Cancun and they had a blast too.  I've very interested in taking this excursion, who would like to join this group?

J~

I was doing a little research and noticed that there is a canapy tour-zip line in Ixtapa.  Has anyone done this in the past?  I did it in Puerto Vallarta and it was a blast.

Debbie – what a smart woman you are!  Going from a “Lurker” to a “Poster”in the blink of an eye! 

 

And I know you used to be a “Poster” – guess you had a lapse – but are now well on to “Poster” recovery!

Well, Happy Big 40 to you!  Or as they say in Mexico: ¡Feliz Cumpleaños!

We can all meet up when we’re there an raise a toast to you’re turning another 10 years!

 

Don’t know if there will be a Meet ‘n Greet unless Inde surprises us and shows up – as she’s the one who’s done that – and a great job at it she does!!!

 

Now - to all of you out there – keep those posts coming!!!
