Amazing! Once in a lifetime experience! You CAN do it!

Incredible! This tour challenged everything I had in me! Our guide Abraham even brought me back from the brink of a claustrophobic freak out to do the entire cave tour. Bring shoes to get wet, wear shorts that will stand up to sliding down rocks on your rear end, and trust your guide to show you the wonders of the cave. I still can't believe we did it! If I did it on my 52nd Birthday with my 11 year old kid you can do it too! It is AMAZING!

swimming around the caves, seeing the formation is just an incredible experience. Everyone must do this excursion in Belize. It’s a life time of experience

One of the best travel experiences in my life

This ranks among the best travel experiences of my life, and I’ve traveled a lot. It’s almost hard to believe that what you are seeing is real, but real it is, and the only way to believe is to see it with your own eyes. Patrick was a phenomenal tour guide in every way. He was funny, extremely knowledgeable, extremely capable maneuvering in the cave (and helping all of us to do the same), and obviously loved his work and his home country of Belize. I can’t recommend this tour enough, but I do recommend specifically requesting Patrick as your guide. I heard through the grapevine that he is one of the best, and it’s hard to imagine anyone being better.

ATM is definitely a must do when visiting Belize. Our guide Glis was super knowledgeable about Mayan history, and even taught us a few words. The pacing was awesome, and it was an exciting but safe experience. Highly recommended!!

Eduardo was the most amazing tour guide ever!! He was very friendly and very knowledgeable about everything we saw in the cave and walking to and from the cave. It was neat to go through a cave that had water in it. At times it was only ankle deep, but in a few places, it was up to my chest and at least one place, I had to swim. I had a long sleeved quick-dry shirt on over my swimsuit which I was grateful for because I got a little chilly in the cave because I was wet for so long. Lunch afterward was delicious. This tour IS NOT as hard as all the descriptions make it out to be. The hike before and after is essentially a nature walk and the climbing in the cave was not difficult at all. I totally recommend this tour! It was amazing!!
