What it's like

Rivers in this part of Belize sometimes run into cave mouths and carry on underground. Tubing is the way to follow them. The tour sends guests down these waterways on inner tubes, lit by headlamps.

A tour here starts with a trip out of town by the operator's vehicle, since the cave sites lie away from the city.

Good to know

  • Swimming comfort is needed, since the route is spent floating on water in the dark.
