A MUST DO adventure. You might’ve toured caves before but not like this. - Absolute MUST do! The tour was great and our guide, Chris, was superb —knowledgeable, friendly, and upbeat. One of the coolest experiences we’ve ever done. Do not miss it. We highly recommend Capt Jak’s. Everything was streamlined and ran so well.

The best!!! - I went with my mom and sister for the full day tour to see the ruins and go cave tubing. Our guide Pablo was excellent!! We could not have asked for better. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and went out of his way to help my sister with mobility issues. We learned a lot from him as he guided us around. Highly recommend!!!

Great Xunantunich and Cave Tubing tour - We did the Xunantunich and cave tubing tour. Pablo was an amazing guide both at the ruins and in the caves. He taught us a ton about Mayan history, Belize history, the history of the people, languages and made the entire day so much fun! The cave tour and diving off a cliff into a pool was the perfect way to finish the day. We cannot say enough about how much we all enjoyed it!

Great operator and Chris was a Great Guide - Chris was the best. Able to accommodate the slower members of our group as well as the MUCH more adventurous. He was a wealth of knowledge about local flora and fauna - pointing out wild birds and interesting plants along the way. Cave touring is very popular. And lots of cruise ships send passengers here. Highly recommend: 1) tour groups with small numbers - the more guests the worse your experience 2) leaving early. The earlier you arrive, the less the crowds 3) touring with similarly fit members of your party so nobody is held back or pushed too far. With the right tour size and an early start, this is a very memorable experience!

Favorite excursion and awesome guide. Chris. - This excursion was our favorite. Our tour guide, Chris, was so informative with the history there and all the way there. He made our trip very pleasant and felt it was definitely worth the investment. They handled everything and we just had to show up. Our tubes were waiting at the top and Chris guide us safely with fun through the caves and down the river. It was an amazing experience and we would recommend this at the top of the excursions list and with Chris!

Jaguar Paw Cave Tubing is a Must!! - Unforgettable excursion!! Family of five (kids 13, 11, and 8) and it was our favorite. We did the all day trip and went to the Xunantunich Ruins and then Cave Tubing. Pablo was our guide and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. We also got the pleasure of knowing him when he picked us up from the airport. We started the day with a long drive from Placencia but Pablo kept it entertaining, informative and would stop for pictures. Ruins were beautiful. After the ruins we had a very tasty lunch at Benny's. The cave tubing starts off with a short hike, but again was an amazing experience in itself. We ate termites, heart of palm and other plants I can't recall. Kids will be talking about that experience the rest of their lives. The tubing was exciting and Pablo again went out of his way to show the kids safe areas to cliff jump and swim in the cave. I can't say enough about this excursion. You won't be disappointed.

10 out of 10 will be back! - My best friend and I had a wonderful time! Our day started with being picked up at our hotel in Placencia, it was a long drive but our guide Christian really helped the time pass. He was very knowledgeable about the land and the all the wildlife. Once we arrived and got suited in our gear it was just a short easy walk to the entrance of the cave, the journey inside the cave was incredible, we felt very safe and comfortable with our guide Christian the entire time and he taught us so much about the cave system and about Belize overall. I highly recommend Captain Jaks and will be booking with them again for their other excursions when we return!

Both of these tours are amazing and a must do!! We completely reccomend Pablo/ Captain Jack’s!!

Cave tubing at Jaguar Paw - Our tour guide and driver Christian Benedit went above and beyond to make the whole experience so enjoyable. The drive to Jaguar Paw was so informative about culture, history and farmlands. On the hike to the cave, Christian really took his time to share his knowledge of plant life and wildlife. The cave tubing experience exceeded my expectations and we learned so much about the Mayan culture and history. We are so glad we chose Captain Jak’s!
