Description
Caving provides thrills to suit nearly any age and fitness level.

After a brief 30-minute hike to the entrance of the cave, inner tubes are used to float along the Caves Branch River.
See your light flicker upon strange shapes and the ultimate darkness beyond. Hear the echo of your voice bounce off the distant walls. Listen to the water dripping from the ceiling, creating spectacular formations in the stunning chambers. And while you might be expecting dark and claustrophobic passageways, you are likely to find enormous chambers and cathedral-sized rooms.

Journey into Belize’s spectacular underground realm and take a trip back in time! This amazingly popular and unique tour is a fast-growing sector of the Belize Tourism Industry and pivots around one important factor: Safety.

Set within Belize’s lush rainforest, this tour starts with a safety session from the professional zip line crew. Following your safety session, well-trained guides will help you with your harness, hand and body gear, and helmet. Double cables (each capable of withstanding 2,000 lbs of weight) are used for ultimate safety.

A brief 5-minute walk takes you to the first of 8 strategically placed platforms and the start of your excursion.
The platforms are as high as 85 ft and as far apart as 1200ft. All landing platforms are equipped with handrails. Guides meet you at each landing to ensure your personal safety.

At the end of the zip line tour, you will repel from the last platform back down to earth. This is truly a heart-pounding adventure that is sure to please the thrill-seeker in you!

Beautiful landscapes, average guidance
The landscapes were absolutely beautiful, and the cave tubing was truly breathtaking. Floating along the river through the jungle was an unforgettable experience and definitely the highlight of the tour. Unfortunately, the zip lining was quite disappointing. We spent no more than about 15 minutes there and did only four short lines. We had expected much more, so that part did not meet our expectations. ... more Overall, we felt a bit rushed and somewhat “processed” rather than genuinely welcomed. There was very little communication about what the next steps would be, and we received minimal information throughout the day. It already started with the pickup: the tour was scheduled to begin at 8:45 a.m. I had clearly informed the company well in advance that we would be arriving by boat from Caye Caulker and would need to be picked up at the harbor. We planned everything accordingly and were having a relaxed breakfast at the port when, about 30 minutes before the agreed time, I suddenly received multiple missed calls, messages, and emails within a very short period in which he was asking me where we are and that we need to go right now. We were then greeted by a very stressed and annoyed man who rather sharply told us that he wanted to leave earlier that day. We had no way of knowing this, as no one had informed us. The drive felt rushed and tense, and we did not feel particularly welcome. After that, we were handed over to another guide without any explanation about the schedule or how the day would unfold. The second guide did share some interesting information about the wildlife and a bit of history, but overall it was quite limited. At times, when we tried to ask questions or make comments, we felt ignored, as he would simply continue with his prepared speech. We had hoped for a more engaging and interactive experience, where our questions and interests would be acknowledged. We met other groups in the park and couldn’t help but notice that they were receiving much more detailed and enthusiastic explanations about the Maya culture and the caves, which made us a little envious. It’s a pity, as the natural surroundings were stunning. In the end, we tried to make the best of it and simply enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Thank you for sharing your feedback
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you found the landscapes beautiful and that the cave tubing was a breathtaking highlight of your trip! We would like to sincerely apologize for the areas where we fell short, particularly regarding the communication and the rushed start to your day. It appears there was a fundamental mismatch in the type of tour that was booked. Your ... more reservation was for a 'Shore Excursion' package, which is a specialized tour designed exclusively for cruise ship passengers. Because these tours are built around strict cruise ship port times, they operate on a very fast-paced, standardized schedule. Even though there were no cruise ships in port that day and you were arriving by water taxi from Caye Caulker, our team was still operating on that strict, high-paced shore excursion timeline. We understand you were hoping to enjoy a relaxed breakfast after enjoying your night out, so our team trying to expedite the departure definitely caused unnecessary tension. In hindsight, we should not have allowed the shore excursion package to be booked for your specific itinerary, as a standard day tour would have allowed for the relaxed pace you were looking for. Regarding the zip lining, this combo includes a set number of lines to fit within the excursion timeframe, but we understand it left you wanting more. We also apologize that your second guide stuck too closely to a prepared script. We want our tours to be engaging, and we will be speaking with our team to ensure all guests feel their questions are welcomed and answered. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our booking process, and we are glad you were still able to enjoy the stunning natural beauty of the caves."
