Fun times - The trip was fun and on time. Good communication and our guide Sharon was full of information. She was easy going and did a good job. I liked that the tubes were brought to the location so we didn’t have to carry them there. A small group was nice. (9 people).

We enjoyed the active and... - We enjoyed the active and relaxing portions of the tour. Guide was great. Would definitely recommend. There are 3 river crossings and walking on trails and inside the cave. Would recommend that participants be willing to be physically capable.

Amazing experience, INCREDIBLE tour guide - Fab was incredible! He had so much information about Belize and the caves which made the experience really worthwhile. He also has incredible energy that kept us going (we were still tired from previous activities). The tour itself was roughly an hour doing the activity and then a short hike. We didn’t have to carry the tube up which was nice and he also helped my friend walk through the river since she struggled a little. Request him if you can, he was amazing!!! Def the best tour experience I could have asked for.

Cave tubing with Viv tours and Abner JR. - While in Belize city we decided to try the cave tubing and we did not regret it at all. We made a really good choice with the Viv tours and we were so lucky to have Abner Jr as our guide. He made our day! Besides having the best stories, he is funny and thoughtful. This experience is a must!

Easy relax tour… - A very easy and relax, our guide showed up at my hotel on time. However, the viator web site’s information needs improve. I had a few questions so chatted with the support team but they didn’t know anything about the trip details. Our guide kept our personnel belongs in a safe place and let us use his dry bags for our phones!! Thanks.

Worth Every Dollar - We were on the same tour as Sarah who also rated this tour as excellent. Abner was awesome. Since we weren’t on a cruise ship tour, and the other people who booked the tour were very laid back also, he took his time with us. The walk was stunning and relaxing. We we went through the cave and he stopped so we could get out and take a closer look at the cave. We were some of the only people who didn’t have to carry our inner tubes to the cave. I had my 77 year old mom with me and that was a really nice touch. This tour was truly a bargain for such a wonderful experience.

Overall Great Experience - We had such a fun time on our tour today. Our guide, Abner, was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, and great sense of humor. You can tell he loves his job and loves this environment. I was not able to find information about what happens to our belongings while tubing, so I’m including that info here: after the van ride to the entrance of the river, there are bathrooms, changing rooms, showers, lockers, food, and shops. You can get lockers if you choose, but our guide had us leave our stuff in our locked van. There are also security officers on site for additional peace of mind. I know a lot of us are traveling with IDs/passports, so wanted to include that info. You can take your phone/camera if you have a waterproof case or pouch. You can also take drinks since the tubes have cup holders. Make sure you wear comfy-while-wet shoes because you’ll be walking through water at 3 different places just to get to the start of the tour. The walk is maybe 25-30 minutes through the canopied jungle. Also most of the float is under a canopy so there is little direct sunlight hitting you. So far this tour has been the best part of our overall trip to Belize and I would absolutely recommend it.

Amazing Tubing Experience, Highlighted by Abner Sr and Jr, two phenomenal hosts - We traveled with 14 members of our family and were so lucky to have been connected with Abner Sr and Jr. An amazing father and son duo, who took care of us for our day adventure through the winding river and cave tours. We had all age groups in our pack and the two could not have been more accommodating than they were to make us all feel comfortable. It was a long walk to the start of the lazy river and tougher for our 80 year old father so it took longer than anticipated. However, Abner Sr stayed back and told stories along the way and never made us feel bad for the slow walk to the river. He was very flexible and offered multiple times to help in any way possible to make everyone comfortable. When we finally got there, he and Jr guided us along an amazing journey down the river and through the awesome caves. This trip was well worth it and team Abner made it even better. Thank you for your care and help on this family adventure.

V.I.V. rocks!! - Cave tubing was fantastic! Naz was helpful and patient with two 70+ plus year olds. Walk to river a bit strenuous, but floating in the cave outstanding. Gorgeous jungle and a treasure for Belize. Zip-liners and kayakers delayed our return to ship but Fab blasted through traffic to get us back to the tender boat in time.
