Had a great day with Marlin as our guide. He picked us up at our resort (prearranged) and drove our group of 4 plus 3 others to the location. Takes about an hour 15 min from San Ignacio. Shared info about the region/country along the way. You then get a hard hat, life vest (required) and inner tube. Choice of him doing all the work (linked together) or you doing all the work. Water level was very low. He shared info along the path where you cross the river 3 times & walk about 30 minutes (with several stops along the way for info). Once at the cave he takes you through, explaining things along the way. I was surprised we got out of the tubes and did a little hiking (spelunking) up a small waterfall and around some formations. We jumped from a ledge about 12 feet into the water below then made our way out of the cave where you float about 20 minutes more. Lunch was jerk chicken (leg & thigh piece) red beans & rice, chips & salsa & coleslaw with punch & water. Then you head home. A long but fun day.

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY. If I could give this a zero I would, for multiple reasons. They processed with full payment of our tour prior to when they said they would. I was also unable to cancel prior to 24 hours before without losing my 544.00 $. I was contacted by the tour operator to confirm the tour a few days prior. I then took the opportunity to ask a few questions about imperative details on the tour. No one responded to me despite my multiple efforts through email and viator. So I booked a tour with someone else thinking we would get our money back, because I didn’t even know where to meet due to us having our own car with unique circumstances. They called me two hours after the tour was supposed to start, I explained that I had been trying to get a hold of them and that I wanted my money back. They then hung up on me. I then asked for my money back from viator, and received 10%- 54.00 due to the tour guide lying to them about the circumstances. I have still not received my money back, and did not even get the chance to do the tour do to lack of communication from the tour guide. Not happy, I would not recommend them to ANYONE. Completely un- professional and bordering on a total scam.

These experiences depend so much on your groups and your guides. If you're a small group looking for a small tour, go with someone else for sure. Everything was fine but by no means exceptional. PLUS if it is hot out, their vans are the worst for AC at the end of the day.

This was an amazing experience. The guide did a wonderful job of getting us to and from the site. He was timely, informative, and patient. The zip lining staff, did a wonderful job of explaining how the course work and would make any first timer comfortable.

We started the day off with local pickup from my hotel, explored the Mayan Ruins, and then went cave tubing. Our tour guide, Cisco, was unbelizeable 😂. He's just so damn friendly, and you know you're safe with him. Very grateful to have him as my guide. The experience is top notch, and if you want the cherry on top, you'll request Cisco. I promise you won't regret it. I downloaded TripAdvisor just to write a review for my experience. And this is totally unwarranted. I was never asked to write a review. TAKE THE TRIP!

We rented an airbnb in San Ignacio and this company came highly recommended. They were right. We booked xan and cave tubing as well as an ATM tour and taxi to and from Belize city airport to San Ignacio. Our guide/taxi driver was on time at the airport holding a sign with my name on it while I watched others search for theirs. We were the first ones out of the airport. Marlin was the greatest. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed him. I traveled with a teen whom was completely out of her element on this trip. During the Cave tubing Marlin made sure she was taken care of in a very kind hearted, compassionate and at times comedic way. Without him, this trip may have been to much for her. He went above and beyond to make this trip enjoyable for all of us. Unfortunately our ATM tour was canceled due to heavy rain the night before and we had to request a refund. Belizecaving asked me to provide my CC information again to refund the trip. I was leery as this is not a common practice in the US. I had asked our airbnb host if this was safe. She told us normally people will just rebook for a different date however our time in San Ignacio was over. She assured us it was safe and advised Belize banking system does take some time to do these things. I emailed my CC info to Belizecaving as instructed and with out a hassle I was refunded in 8 days. Belizecaving is 100% trustworthy, which is a big deal in my book as I have read horror stories about others. Hopefully I will be back in Belize at some point in the future and will, without a doubt, book EVERYTHING I do in San Ignacio though Belizecaving.

This was so much fun and totally exceeded my expectations. I thought we would just float through and that would be that. First, I have to say the formations within the cave are spectacular. Some are 20-30 feet tall and so amazing. Secondly, our guide Marlon was fabulous. He got us out of our tubes and swimming through the formations. He made us laugh and was very knowlegdable about the river, the cave system and the formations. He created an adventure, not just an experience. I can't imagine that we could have had a better guide. This was SO worth it and I'll never forget it.

We had an opportunity to have basically a 1:1 experience for my fiance and myself with our guide, Cisco. He was FANTASTIC! So knowledgeable, fun energy, and allowed us to do some extra exploring which was so cool. We ended up doing a longer hike to be able to float through 2 caves and then some climbing. Highly highly recommend this tour and ask for Cisco specifically! Lastly, the lunch was DELISH! (Also, I know there have been some reviews on time it took to get picked up, etc. That was not our experience. We agreed to 830am and he was there right on the dot! Now, go book this adventure.)

We absolutely loved our cave tubing experience! Cisco was our guide, and he did a fabulous job! On the walk in to the entry point, he pointed out things of interest along the path. We did two caves, and Cisco kept pointing out different things of interest. Several times we got out of our tubes and went exploring caves inside of the cave. We swam though tunnels and around stalactites, and jumped off rocks into the water. We saw bats. We saw Mayan ruins, and were given a fascinating history lesson on the Maya. We saw groups from the cruise ships being rushed through the cave, not stopping at all. We were so glad we had Cisco as our guide! And he took such good care of our 9 year old, towing her along in her inner tube. We would highly recommend this tour!

This was an amazing experience. Our guides Jose and Marlon were exceptional. They went out of their way to make sure that we were safe and that the people in our group who were nervous felt comfortable. They were knowledgable about the caves and provided a lot of information. They helped us to get out of the tubes and visit a side cave that was exceptionally beautiful. Don't miss the opportunity to take this excursion with this company.

We did the ziplining and cave tubing combo all in one day. The first hour or so is spent zipping through the canopy of the jungle and is pretty exhilarating. The last two lines pass over the crystal clear water of the cave branch river which was pretty sweet to see. The cave tubing was way more fun and adventurous than I had anticipated. Cisco brought us on the 30-40 minute hike to the beautiful cave entrance where we swam and relaxed for a half hour or so. The water was beautifully clear and the fish swimming around us were entertaining. We also enjoyed watching the cave and tree swallows flying in and out of the huge cave opening. We rafted up together in our tubes and floated through the caves as Cisco pointed out different features, stalactites and stalagmites, explained the process by which they were formed, discussed the flooding during hurricanes, and answered any questions we had on the area. The caves are so awesome. We docked our tubes at one spot to explore the cave for a bit. In one of the large caverns, Alejandro (Cisco’s companion and guide in training) and I jumped from some 6-8 foot ledges into the water. It was wicked. After that we navigated through some small passageways, ducking under iron oxide laden stalactites. We swam around inside the cave before returning to our tubes to resume the journey down stream. The river continued through the mountain cave for quite a while before opening up into the lush Belizean jungle. Cisco navigated the rest of our way down the lazy river. In addition to all of this Cisco packed us a delicious lunch of chicken thighs, rice and beans, and coleslaw, as well as rum punch and other drinks. 10/10 highly recommended using this company. I just would not do this tour with anyone else after having this experience. Cisco is an awesome tour guide and we all loved him.

Had an amazing experience with our guide Sherwin, the cave tubing is not to be missed. And the local lunch was great also.

We loved ziplining and cave tubing at Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve with our awesome guide Miguel. The zip line is super fun, safe and scenic. The staff are amazing! You have 6 zip lines of varying levels of duration and speed. Cave tubing took us to an Avatar set - the nature is unbelievable! We did this with our 11-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son and they absolutely loved it and were in awe of the beautiful nature. We had a delicious lunch between the activities. Would recommend zip lining first and then getting wet in the caves, if you can pick the order. Can’t recommend this experience enough!

Miguel & Jose were just fabulous. In an environment when I might have felt uncomfortable they made us feel safe all the time. I had a broken toe from a previous adventure and they made sure that I had help whenever I needed it. They were both knowledgeable in the flora, fauna, geology and history of the caves and cenotes. What was most impressive was their skill in navigating us through the water. I highly recommend Belize Caving Expeditions.

We went on a day trip with our guide Cisco which started out at the Xunantunich Mayan ruins with a 2 hour tour , very informative! Then tied in a river cave float where he was more than comfortable & knowledgeable with all the surroundings. Would recommend!

One of the most amazing guided tours I’ve ever been on, our guide was literally the best, he went above and beyond to make sure that our group had the most amazing time, totally catered to all our needs - I’m beyond grateful and am looking forward to booking another tour with them in the near future. If you wanna see beautiful caves, flowed through crystal water while watching the jungle pass by, enjoy a yummy lunch and have the most attentive tour guides, then this tour is for you :)

We went on SIX adventures - Cave Tubing, Barton Creek Cave Canoeing, Caracol Mayan Ruin, River Tubing, and my favorite -- Crystal Cave. And on our ride back to the airport we stopped at the Belize Zoo. Our driver (same company) gave us a tour of the zoo which we loved. It was AWESOME using Belize Caving Expeditions - Each experience was great, and the guides are amazing !! I was drawn to visit Belize to go Cave tubing, and using this company was fantastic because we got to do so many different things. I liked Crystal Cave because spelunking is cool - I love adventure and am proud I accomplished this feat. The guides have a lot of experience, and we appreciated their knowledge and kindness. Every adventure we booked with this company was fun. Give yourself at least 6-7 days in San Ignacio. I HIGHLY recommend using them.

This is a must do activity! And you have to go with Belize Caving Expedition. Miguel was amazing. He didn’t rush the tour, which we saw the other tours doing. Caves are amazing. Make sure to bring water shoes.
