What to Pack:

  • Hydration is key: Pack 2 liters of water in eco-friendly bottles.
  • Footwear matters: Protect your feet with sturdy tennis shoes or water shoes.
  • Dive into comfort: Quick-drying swimwear and a change of clothes are essential.
  • Beat the bugs: Eco-friendly insect repellent is a must.
  • Plan for the exit: Bring a towel, a day pack, and a change of clothes.
  • Capture the memories: Your best friend is a waterproof camera with a hand strap or floatable attachment.

Unveiling the Secrets of the Underworld:

Unlike cave tubing, cave kayaking offers a more active and immersive experience. Navigate through three breathtaking caves, starting within the St. Herman's Cave System and ending at the Caves Branch Cave System at the Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve.

A Feast for All Senses:

Beyond the visual spectacle, this adventure is a feast for all senses. Enjoy a delicious local burrito lunch with fresh, seasonal ingredients amidst the verdant rainforest setting.

A Thrilling Jungle Trek:

After lunch, embark on a 25-minute jungle trek to the point where the river dives underground. Here, you'll carry your lightweight kayak through the lush canopy and into a captivating cave opening, ready to explore the final cave.
