Itinerary
This tour departs San Ignacio at 8:30 AM, driving one hour and thirty minutes toward the east then south of Belize . Arriving to the park the guides will provide you with a tube, then you will hike through the jungle along the river bank. There are several starting points; the most popular is after a 45 min walk which is located in between two cave entrances. You have a choice of jumping in or lowering yourself into the water. The tubing adventure is two caves if you do the 45 min walk, if you do a shorter hike of half an hour then you end doing one cave. The first cave is just an easy float through the mountain you just sit back and relax as the guide interprets the Mayan culture and believes. After floating down the first cave we end between to cave entrances again were we can stop for a swim, and get ready for the last caving adventure. The last cave has some rapids that add to the adventure, and there are also a couple areas where you can get out and explore. At the end of the last cave we end up floating down the river ending where we started hiking. Cave tubing is for those who want to have an easy relaxing and fun day.

This was a great experience. We somehow lucked out and basically had a private tour with Leo. He was SO informative about the jungle/rainforest and the Mayan culture. I learned so much and had SO much fun. We were still able to do this even in the rain. Honestly, wouldn't change a thing about this experience except that I wish it was longer, but I just didn't want it to end. Definitely choose to do BOTH caves.Christopher_A

After a quite a hike (longer than expected) through the jungle, we enjoyed a beautiful late morning/early afternoon swimming in the river and relaxing on the tubes as we floated through the caves and jungle. It was glorious!! If you have water shoes, bring them. The rentals were not ideal (genetic crocs). It was suggested that we not take our phone/cameras, but I do wish I would have rented a waterproof case from the vendor at the start as there were many photo ops throughout the tour. All in all a wonderful relaxing adventure. Would definitely recommend.christinaismith
