We drive for 32 miles to the Sacred Mayan City of Altun Ha. The guide will narrate the natural history of the country on the drive. At the site you explore the Maya ruins for one hour and a half taking pictures and climbing the ancient pyramids . After the tour of the Maya site we continue on our country side tour to the caves. There you get into your swim trunks/suits and gear up for a 25 minute jungle walk . The guide connects your tubes and navigate you into the Maya underworld(caves) floating through the passage of time in the darkness in the underworld wearing a headlamp. You will see beautiful stalagmites and stalactites formations and listen to the echo of an underground waterfall and perhaps a mystical cry in a distance. You better Belize it! After the tour we drive back to port/ City.

Ruins is not part of the tour. It takes too long for a cruise ship stop. We sat for over a hour at a park waiting for the guide to gather others. Guide did not tell us anything about the trailer parts of the cave. Many other guides took time to tell their groups lots of information. Very disappointing. Plus side, boxed lunch in the van was tasty. Wish we had booked with another company.

I booked the cave tubing and Altun Ha tour with Charlie and my whole family loved it! Charlie was an excellent guide and was extremely knowledgeable about Belize. He was funny and entertaining. His nephew, Puch, was a wonderful driver! My mom wasn’t able to tube, but went along for the tour. She shopped and visited with locals as we tubed and then we all toured the ruins together. We only had about 8 hours in Belize and the drive to cave tube and the ruins takes quite a long time. Charlie kept us entertained and on schedule and even called ahead and ordered our lunch, fantastic chicken burritos, which we ate while driving to the ruins to save time! This was our favorite excursion during a 4 port cruise. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belize. Loved this tour so much, I hugged Charlie before we left! Book with Charlie, you won’t be disappointed!!!
