10/10!! - This tour was AMAZING! We couldn’t have enjoyed our time more. We visited the Mayan temples first and our guide, Josh made it so fun. The cave tubing after that was even better, and they really went the extra mile to make our tour special. 10/10 would recommend

Overall amazing time - Couldn't recommend our guide Pedro, very knowledgable about the country and local landmarks. He was kind enough to take us further up on the trail so we could experience another of the caves 10/10

Great experience overall - This was a great experience. Our tour guide was wonderful. He and my boyfriend even managed to talk me into climbing the temples at Xunantunich. My only thing is I wished the Cave Tubing was longer. I absolutely loved the cave tubing and the temples and history was very thought provoking. I think tour companies should let people know what is entailed in all the activities. I think some people that are not active might have a hard time on a lot of tours.

Take this tour, you won't regret a single moment!! - We had the BEST time!!! I highly recommend this tour you get to see so much and learn a ton about Xunantunich and the caves. We could not get enough and are still talking about it to this day and telling all who will listen about it! This was the best adventure we had been on in a long time and our guide, Oneil was incredibly kind, funny and knowledgeable! I learned so much from him and have been learning more in my spare time even now. Do yourself a favor, take this tour, you won't regret a single moment!! But don't forget your bug spray ;)

Cave tubing / Ruins - We had an incredible experience cave tubing, and our guide made it even more memorable! He was knowledgeable about the history, geology, and wildlife of the area, sharing fascinating details along the way. They made us feel safe and well-prepared for the adventure. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the guide ensured we enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend this experience, especially with such a professional and friendly guide!

Great Combo - full day adventure - This was a great combo tour. Our guide Goldborn was extremely knowledgeable about Mayan history when we visited Xunantunich in the morning, and excelled in guiding us through the lovely 45 minute jungle walk, with 3 river crossings, to the cave tubing starting point. We rafted together for the tubing (my husband and I were the only ones in the group) so didn't have to worry about anything. An added bonus was being able to get out of the tubes inside the caves and do some guided exploring. You do need closed toe water shoes, not sandals, that you can also walk comfortably in. If you don't have those, you can rent a pair when you pick up the other gear (tube, helmet, light and life jacket). You can also buy a pair of water shoes, which is what I did.

Amazing historical perspective - What an amazing experience. The park is so clean and the ancient buildings properly protected. We loved that we could climb the stairs on one of the ruins and view the entire complex from above.
