Unforgettable Adventure: Cave Tubing Bliss with Amazing Guide - Forget the big tour groups and generic experiences! Cave Tubing R Us blew me away with its personalized touch and genuine care. Our guide, David, wasn't just knowledgeable about the caves, he was incredibly patient and accommodating, making sure everyone, especially my mom with limited mobility, felt comfortable and included throughout the adventure. His passion for the caves and enthusiasm for sharing their beauty were contagious. The tour wasn't just about floating through stunning caves (which it was!), it was an immersive experience. We ended the day at David's family restaurant, where his wife, Mellissa, whipped up a phenomenal meal using fresh, organic ingredients grown right on their property. The delicious food and warm atmosphere felt like being welcomed into their home, adding a unique personal touch to the whole adventure. Cave Tubing R Us isn't just a tour, it's an unforgettable Belizean experience that perfectly blends adventure, personalized service, and authentic local cuisine. If you're looking for something special and memorable, look no further!

The outstanding service and delicious cuisine of Cave Tubing R Us elevate the cave tubing adventure to a higher level. - Our cave tubing tour with Cave Tubing R Us was exceptional. David, our guide, was not only knowledgeable and experienced but also incredibly patient and accommodating, especially towards my mother with mobility limitations. His attentiveness and genuine care for our experience truly made the trip special. (Thank you, David, so very much.) The tour culminated in a delightful lunch at David's family restaurant, where his wife, a skilled chef, prepared a delicious meal using fresh, organic ingredients grown on their property. The warm and inviting atmosphere felt like being welcomed into their home, adding a personal touch to the experience.

AMAZING 50TH BIRTHDAY TUBING ADVENTURE!!!!! - I LOVED everything about my tubing adventure. I booked this trip very last minute and my confirmation was sent back very quickly. On this trip with me and my adult children. I was visiting Belize as apart of my 50th Birthday trip. While it was important to me to have a good time I wanted my kids to enjoy themselves too. And boy did we ALL have a great time. Antwan (David's son) was our driver and he was fun and engaging. He answered all our questions and taught us a lot about the various ecosystems that we passed while driving. We started the trip by stopping by his Family's restaurant Fi Wu Restaurant (I'm sure that I got the name wrong.) I was able to catch 2 fish and my daughter caught 2 as well and we had them for lunch. Walking to the cave was GREAT! The conversation on the way was so cool! We learned a lot about the rainforest. The cave was BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL. This caving adventure was the ABSOLUTE BEST part of my vacation. Everyone was so nice and cordial. Antwan even 2 us to 2 different stores one for souvenirs and the other because I NEEDED pickles to ward off leg cramps. I did not have leg cramps ... thank goodness. And I 100% RECOMMEND Antwan as your guide for this tubing adventure. Mostly because the the LUNCH this meal was the absolute BEST I had while in Belize. Melissa was the chef and expertly cooked the fished we caught. I was AMAZED that I still knew how to catch a fish. But Meliisa seasoning and frying skills made it DELICIOUS!!!! This family definitely encompasses excellent hospitality. They made us feel like family.

Dave is the PREMIIERE guide of choice for a fun tubing adventure - Dave was the perfect guide and host for our tubing adventure. He made every second fun, informative and catered to our every wish even stopping at local markets and sights along our way to and from the caves. Lunch was an added luxury surprise as he had local food prepared just for us and pre ordered with the chef what we each preferred to try. Other tours with lunch reported a sandwich in the van was what they got . We got a chef prepared meal in a farm to table restaurant. Hes energetic, locally born and raised and FUN!

Underground Adventure. - This experience was truly a highlight of this trip to Belize. My husband and I booked this and it truly exceeded our expectations. Our tour started at Fu Wi Flavaz restaurant where we would be having our lunch. The restaurant owner asked us for fish or chicken. My husband picked fish and the owner told him that he had to catch it and handed it a fishing rod. We walked over to a pond where he was able to catch two fish for each of us. From there, David (our tour guide) took us to the facility for zip lining and cave tubing. The zip lining was short and sweet, about five segments. We then walked about a mile to the entrance of the caves. The beginning was a little frightening as we went further into the cave. It was pitch black and I couldn't see my own hand. We were given flashlights and it was like we were taken back in time. There were markings and carvings by the Mayans all around. David gave us the history of the ceremonies and his passion for Mayan history and nature. The entire route through the cave was truly amazing. We also saw some bats, stalagmites and stalactites. Once we got out of the cave, we let the river take us down. My husband jumped out to swim but I was truly feeling relaxed and stayed in my tube. Once you're done, make sure to ask for a pencil sharpener. It's a drink in a pineapple. Be aware that it is quite strong. We then went back to the restaurant for our lunch and our day ended there. The food was truly amazing, moreso that we had to catch it ourselves. This one truly is one for the books.

Fantastic - David was an amazing tour guide. He has his own restaurant where you can catch your own fish and they prepare it for you. His wife is an amazing cook. He is a top notch tour guide. The cave experience was great, we didn't have to carry our tubes, they were waiting for us at the river. He is a fun cheerful person. I highly recommend this company.
