Cave tubing with a service dog. - Nelson was a terrific guide. We were part of a group larger than 7 so we were given our own guide for cave tubing. He was excellent and knowledgeable. He loved his work and made us feel very comfortable and confident.
We were the first to bring a service dog cave tubing, it was a perfect. Everyone was so helpful.
It was a chance to let our working dog be a dog after several days on planes and cooped up on a ship. He was absolutely beaming exploring the jungle and getting to tube in the refreshing water. Nothing could have been better.
I would recommend this company to anyone wanting to sample Belize.
For those who do have a service animal, this is the only operator in Belize that I could find that was willing to tackle a new frontier for Belize. Try them out if you’d like to give your working dog a time of their lives. They are the best to work with.

Fantastic Experience! - First, this experience was awesome! Make sure to have water shoes. Definitely no flip flops! This can be enjoyed even on a rainy day.
Pablo, our guide, and Charbel, our driver, were both friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and fun! Since it was a rainy day we were the only 4 on the excursion and the rain didn't affect our enjoyment of the trip at all. The cave tubing was exilerating and fun (also refreshing). The lunch was great and we had homemade ice cream afterwards. Pablo was very informative when taking us around Altun Ha and answered all of our questions.
I would highly recommend this tour! Well worth the price!

Great tour guide. - We had a great experience. We took the water taxi from San Pedro, which was not part of this trip, but they picked us up right at the port as we got off our boat in Belize city. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area. The transportation was clean and the lunch at a local restaurant was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing adventure - Amazing experience that Im so glad me and my Auntie decided to do. Luis, our tour guide, was great. Very knowledgeable and very professional. I lost my phone in the river and he went out of his way to make sure it was found. He was so nice and helpful. The bugs did eat me up so bring bug spray. Other than that, the lunch was good and we had a great time.

A day well spent. Great tour….Eric was a great guide. - Eric was a great guide. Picked us up right on time. We shared this tour with 9 others so the van was a bit crowded. But we all got along great. Van was a little tired, but the AC worked just well enough. This was not a luxury tour, but it was VERY authentic and seemed like a great was to see the country.
LOTS of driving, but got to see a lot of the country. The ruins were interesting (seriously, bring bug spray) but not an overwhelmingly great experience. Coming from someone who LOVES ancient ruins. Maybe for an archeologist.
The highlight was the tubing. The caves were one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Lots of formations and beautiful clear cool water. Good equipment. Need a water proof phone case and water shoes, but they rent/sell both.
The lunch was at a small local place with stewed chicken and rice and beans. Very good. Other food avail for purchase.
Lots of opportunities to buy local art, souvenirs etc. Our group wanted to stop at several places (like….. a lot) but Eric accommodated every request to stop for mangoes, beer, toiletries, drinks, beer, tamales etc.
I feel he really went out of his way to be helpful, even suggesting some good restaurants open on a Sunday. Sunday is a good day to take this tour as the crowds were non-existent. It was a LONG full day mostly driving but I feel the value was well worth the cost.

Unique Belize - Our guide was the best! He rearranged our tour a bit to avoid the crowds. We did the tubing first thing and thus had an amazing experience. Floating down the river through the dark caves was a unique experience, made very special because there was no one else on the river at that time (it is usually the second activity). The pyramids were fascinating, though hot. Our guide brought and bought cold water for us and always made sure we had some. He gave us options for lunch and took us to a hole in the wall which was very tasty. It was a private tour at its best.
