Nelson was a great tour guide! I really appreciated his knowledge of the local flora and fauna of the area and the fact that we did not feel rushed the whole day. Charlie and Nelson also took us to a local store to buy cheap souvenirs which was nice. I was paying attention to some of the other tour guides and I’m happy to say that we picked one of the better ones. I highly reccomend these guys!
You will carry your tube

We carried our own tubes. I specifically looked for a group that carrying the tubes was not required. I was wrong! The walk wasn’t bad, the path is flat, made of stone gravel. The water was high, nothing the guides could control, but it made the tubing end too quickly. The caves and forest are beautiful. Our tour consisted of people from 2 cruise ships, the other ship had an earlier all aboard time so the trip was a bit hurried. Our tour had people who booked just the tubing (me) and people that booked both tubing and zip lining. We had to wait through the zip lining, but it was a decent spot and drinks were available for purchase.

Really fun tour! The weather was not great that day on Belize, but Nelson still managed to make this tour amazing. The caves were nice and floating on a river through these caves was great! We really enjoyed the tour and our time in Belize.
Better than expected!

Had a great time, the cave area was more extensive than I thought and was beautiful. Chap (tour guide) was great, informative, and gave option to float independently through the caves.
Amazing Trip! The best staff!

This was a once in a life time experience made possible by the best tour guide in Belize! We were greeted in Belize by Charlie and team who transported us in an air conditioned van to the caves. They did everything for us! We took a shaded short hike and they had our tubes waiting for us at the water. Once in the water we were pulled the whole time while we comfortably floated in the water. The tubes have a back to them so you are very comfortable. Our group was tied together and once out of the cave we were able to swim for a bit in the beautiful water. Lunch was provided on site and the chicken and rice dish was no joke my fave meal of the whole trip! Thanks for getting us back to the port with plenty of time. We had a blast! This is the only way to do Belize!

I was nervous about booking this excursion because of the distance from the port. As it turned out there was nothing for me to worry about. Charlie gave specific directions of where to meet him. We rode in an air conditioned van with passengers from another Carnival ship NELSON was our guide and gave us interesting information along the way. The hike to the cave is reasonable. We DID NOT have to carry our tubes on the hike. Charlie had already taken our tubes to the cave entrance. After the cave tour we had a nice lunch in the shade before returning to port with time to buy a few souvenirs before getting in line for the water shuttle back to the ship. Great job Charlie, Nelson and Walter!
Beautiful Day

Charlies cave tubing trip to Nohoch Che'en was wonderful. The ride to the site was about an hour, we were outfitted, then walked to the cave opening (wear your water shoes.) Our guide Chop gave us the Mayan history of the caves as we slowly drifted through the cave. It was beautiful, quiet and peaceful.
