Great tubing and lunch but be aware of extras and hanging around

3.00Our guide was super and the tube experience was out of this world but ……….. There was a lot of waiting at the port for other guests at the port due to it being a tender operation. You do need to queue early to get of your ship. We booked tube plus lunch but the guide kept mentioning a zip line. As we had not booked zip line we were taken to this activity and had to wait around for over an hour whilst other guests completed this activity. I booked a 4 hour 30 min activity that ended up being 6 hours 30 min which was unacceptable. The lunch was lovely. There was a long walk to start the tubing so be prepared. You have to carry your own tube this distance or get provider to carry tube for $5. Water shoes can be hired for $3.
Wow

5.00Bring a towel and change of clothes. There is a changing area. Also closed sandals are good not flip flops. There is about a one mile walk to where you get into the tubes. You do get wet. Great experience and beautiful scenery.
Beautiful holiday day

4.00The driver arrived at the terminal in time and waited for us. Hassle-free ride with fulfillment of a special request. The driver-led tyre ride through the cave was also impressive.
Great tour!!

5.00It was a lot of fun! The port was chaotic. We were on the star princess and the tender process was quite time consuming. When I made my reservation I put our arrival time as 8 am as listed on my itinerary and I was on the first tender but the loading process was quite long and we didn’t arrive into terminal 2 until 920 ish. We did not see anyone with blue Superman shirts but when asked they found our contact and we were walked down to a pickup spot. We had to wait for others but were on our way by 10. Our guide was very informative and we really enjoyed tubing through the cave. The lunch was very good. Be sure to bring water shoes and a waterproof pouch for your phone: we were back in port by 4 pm. Great tour!
tubing through the caves...

5.00tubing through the caves was great - better way to see than kayaking. Be prepared to forge rivers and hike for .8 mile - but worth it.
Professional and safe. Patiently answered our questions and explained where we were, a little history too

5.00We were recommended this company from our hotel Lamanai Landing and grateful they did. Wonderful, safe vehicles. Patiently answered our questions and helped us see animals at the Zoo (more like a sanctuary). Chap was our transfer and guide and he made our trip memorable. Definitely check them out and use. Their prices were also fair and provided value. We want to come back and do more with them.
Outstanding Company

5.00Thankyou Charlie and Chap for saving us yesterday - our driver did not show up and Charlie literally rescued us from being stranded. We had planned a tour from Orange Walk to San Ignacio going to the zoo and baboon sanctuary - Chap took us to all of our destinations and provided excellent information. I’m not sure where to post this as it was not a tubing adventure!! We really appreciate your professional and wonderful service!! 10/5 service!! Thankyou
Amazing Experience!!!

5.00AMAZING!!! Wish I could give more stars! Chap, our guide was awesome! He was ridiculously knowledgeable about everything from Mayan history to all the local plant and animal life in detail. He picked us up right from the water taxi exit and took care of us every step along the way. He timed everything perfectly to avoid all of the cruise excursion crowds and totally individualized our cave tubing experience to take us to a hidden pool for swimming. Hands down, Chap’s tour was my favorite part of our trip, which was amazing to begin with. Would highly recommend!!! 10/10
