Unfortunately, our tour started out on sour note. We were informed evening before we needed to be at the meeting point 1hr after ship docked despite the fact voucher said 9AM & our ship was docking at 7AM so we clarified & asked if we needed to be there at 8 or 9? we were informed 8 so we woke early & rushed to tender, we arrived before 8, were escorted to van, we then sat on a hot empty van til after 9- none of the guides greeted us or explained we were still waiting for others. We could have explored nearby shopping but by the time others arrived after 9 we were frustrated- No one apologized. Our guide Abner for cave tubing did not take time to explain what to expect, was not patient, or helpful to guide us over slippery rocks we felt like an inconvenience in his day - we were disappointed even though we were the only 3 people on his tour we felt like he had no patience for us. Caves were beautiful but this was not the experience we hoped for. Very disappointing day
Unique and fun experience

SCAM DO NOT BOOK!! The tour operators were not at the meeting point at 9:00 a.m. as promised. When we arrived, they falsely claimed we weren’t there, even though we provided photo evidence. They read our messages and saw the photos but did not respond, canceled our booking, and are now trying to keep our money. We’re currently disputing the charge with our bank!
Oh what a beautiful day

We had the most amazing tour guide and his name was CARDINAL. I would say that anyone experiencing this cave tour would be blessed. He was so knowledgeable with the history/culture of the Mayans as well as knowledgeable about the caves. He wanted us to have an amazing day in this incredible gorgeous place and we did. Our journey began in an air conditioned vehicle with point of references along the way. We took a wonderful stroll through this amazing forest and we were educated on the ecosystem and when we arrived at the river we were greeted with our tubes awaiting the peaceful ride through the cave. Cardinal made sure that we arrived back to our port on time. We were not rushed. It was truly a beautiful day!! Our favorite excursion.
Bullying, Lying, and Wasting Time. Not on Ship time.

Avoid at all costs. Especially if you’re on a cruise. We were told to be here at 7:15am ship time. When we called, the operator was still asleep. It’s now almost 10am and we’re still stuck waiting while they make excuse after excuse. Their “reason”? They’re stalling to sell more seats at the dock, stringing us along with lies about people “coming on the next tender.” Not true. The tender unloads and leaves. They’re just wasting paying customers’ time to squeeze in extra bookings. We were promised a 5-hour tour. Another lie. It’s really 1 hour there, 1 hour back, and 2 hours sitting in the cave because it’s “not busy.” “It’s 3 hours when it’s busy.” Meanwhile, other companies were already taking their guests out. By the time we finally get there, it will be jam-packed—after we lost half our day sitting around. And if that’s not enough, the operator himself is macho, rude to women, aggressive, and a bully. Poorly organized, run and extremely rude. AVOID THIS OPERATOR! Don’t know how they got positive reviews. Viator did a less then zero effort helping us.
Amazing experience with Shawn and ButtsUp crew!

Abnar was AMAZING! He was knowledgeable and incredibly kind. Not only did he drive us to and from the park, he shared knowledge of the city and the local culture. The caves were awesome but our guide made this an experience we will never forget.

We all really enjoyed cave tubing. Wasn't too sure what to expect, but so glad we did it. It's about an hour's drive from the cruise port. The walk through the rainforest and gentle trip through the caves on our tubes with helpful and knowledgeable guides was amazing and unlike anything else we experienced during our cruise. Highly recommended.

We had a great time and so glad we went with this company. Abner, Naz and Marco were awesome guides. They kept us entertained on the ride there with facts and funny stories. The hike through the forest was nice and informative. We were offered to taste nuts off the ground and termites from the trees ..lol. My son and I went with Abner during the tubing part of the excursion and had an awesome experience. He took his time and put us each under the small waterfall to be splashed. Then let us out of the tube in the cave to explore the rock formations up close. We even saw some broken pottery possibly left during rituals from the past. Toward the end we saw a small robin nest with an egg inside! Overall this excursion was one of the best we been on. My husband enjoyed his time with Marco as well. Thanks guys!
