Belize Cave Tubing Tour

Cave tubing is one of the most popular things to do in Belize. The tour begins with a short nature hike through the jungle to the entrance of the cave. Enjoy a gentle cruise through the Caves Branch River System, one of the largest and most spectacular sacred caves known as "Xibalba", the Mayan Underworld.

While floating through the huge chambers be enchanted by all sizes of stalactites and stalagmites below a ceiling that sparkles like stars in the sky. Your licensed guide will give you a brief history of the Ancient Mayas, point out cave dwelling creatures and a beautiful waterfall flowing within the cave system. The Cave Tubing Tour in Belize ends with a fun ride over rapids followed by a slow scenic cruise along the river. Sit back, relax and enjoy the perfect view of the jungle, cool river, and an occasional songbird

The access point is at mile 37 on the Western Highway, one hour away from San Ignacio. It also includes a forty-minute hike through the jungle. After you float down the river, you will arrive at the same spot that you entered.

At this same location, the visitor also has the opportunity to do zip lining.

The Cave Tubing Experience with Luis

    We did the cave tour with Luis and it was incredible! It far surpasses our expectations. Luis knows his stuff and takes his time to share his knowledge. He’s also funny which made the trip more enjoyable! And his wife made a fabulous lunch!

    So glad we got in with Luis! He took his time explaining little details I think would have otherwise been missed. I really appreciate his professionalism and the high standards he holds tour guides to. Luis holds tour guides accountable for educating their tourists. He gave us factual information without dancing around things that may upset people because, history doesn't care too much about your beliefs. I learned alot on this tour and if you go in with an open mind, you will love it!

    Luis was amazing. We took our 5 children (ages 7 to 17), and Luis kept it fun and interesting for us all. Good pace, unbelievable depth of knowledge, and the best laugh we’ve heard. Our kids talk more about Luis than the cave. Can’t recommend him enough.

    Just finished our tour of ATM cave today and had a blast with Luis. While the other tour operators were rushing past us, Luis spoke about Mayan history and educated our group about historical events that shaped the cave history. He took his time and helped my girlfriend through difficult spots, and was observant to the needs of our small group. Many of the experiences we had were unique to other groups and I was so grateful for the memories he created. I’m sure that you might find a less expensive rush tour, but Luis has been guiding tours for over 20 years and it shows. I can’t recommend him enough.
