What an adventure! - INCREDIBLE. More intense and physically challenging than I had anticipated. Be ready for some climbs, tight squeezes, balancing acts, hikes, and very cold water. It was an adventure me and my 12 year old daughter will remember forever. If you have the choice, request Eric as your guide. He was funny, patient, and will make it that much more memorable.

Informative, fun, exciting! - Wow. This was literally the most impactful experience my family and I have ever had. Do not miss this if you have the opportunity. Our guide Eric (Maya Walk) was simply superb. He hurried the hike in and out in order to have more time in the cave and it was absolutely worth the extra effort. He is super knowledgeable, enthusiastic (even after 20 years of doing this tour), and FUN! This your definitely requires moderate fitness and a little bit of fearlessness. Overall, a spectacular experience!

Amazing - A little packed but amazing. Our tour guide Fernando was great. The skeletons are amazing one is crazily intact the formations are awesome. The water is freezing though. It was the highlight of my trip.
