  The driver and guide were both very kind but this experience didn’t live up to our expectations and neither of us felt it was worth the price. We did the short hike to the tubing launch first. There were things I wanted to stop and closer at/grab a photo but the guide seemed in a hurry. The tubing part was the best part of the entire experience, but wish it had been the last thing we did instead of the first because we spent the next WAY more intensive section of the hike soaking wet. Our guide pointed out a few things every now and then but mostly just felt like he was ready to be done. We returned, dropped our things off and he motioned to the little snack bar and said we could buy snacks or drinks if we wanted. This activity was promoted as having a full lunch INCLUDED in the price. Instead, we were back in the car for the return way ahead of schedule, dropped the guide off and started to leave. I asked the driver about lunch and he said, oh if you want to? It didn’t feel planned or like we were actually welcome to say yes without making things awkward, so we just asked them to take us home. Overall really underwhelming and I’m surprised to see so many other positive reviews, but maybe it’s different with different guides.

• Fun day!

  Wonderful day trip. Park was great and we really enjoyed tubing down the river. Driver and guide were both friendly, knowledgeable and kind. We also had a wonderful lunch. Thank you all for a great day!

  A fantastic day with Edgar! We were unsure what to expect (and as a result, didn’t pack exactly right for the day—more on that later), but Edgar made the adventure both educational and enjoyable. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, pointing out animal tracks, medicinal plants, and geological subtleties. His knowledge of the local birds was far beyond anything I expected for a tour not billed as a birding tour. He heard species and spotted birds we would never have seen, like the scarlet macaw (!) we stopped to gawk at from the river. Wow. The hike is only challenging for a few breathless minutes on the way to the waterfall. We were under the impression that there would be less tubing and more hiking, but the tubing turned out to be the best part! Slow and relaxing but requires some work to navigate the banks and rocks (not at all dangerous, just be ready to paddle with your hands!) You’ll have to leave anything that cannot get wet in the van or bring a dry bag for the tubing (I’m glad I borrowed Edgar’s for my phone and binoculars; it sat atop my hips for the whole tube ride and I never felt that my equipment was in danger of getting dunked). Once you leave the visitors parking lot there’s no going back to change or grab water/sunscreen/bugspray (which we did not have and fared okay). You’ll be carrying your tube for most of the journey; lightweight but takes up a hand you might otherwise have for shooting photos, for instance. I am both glad I wore sturdy hiking shoes (for the waterfall portion of the hike) but carried them around my neck while tubing so they wouldn’t get soaked. Also wore light weight shorts and not a bathing suit, which was fine but the ride back would have been more comfortable in a change of dry clothes. We stopped for a good Mayan lunch at a roadside stand just outside the park. It was a really marvelous day!

  This was an amazing experience. Edgar was a fantastic guide, his skill and knowledge made the day one of a kind. From exciting print tracking, animal spotting, peaceful tubing and waterfall swimming this tour had it all. Highly recommend!

  We had such an incredible, informative, and relaxing tour with Edgar as our guide. From the time he picked us up to the time he dropped us off, he was a constant wealth of knowledge about Mayan history, Belizean history, the flora and fauna, etc. We saw toucans and coatamundis, learned to identify the smell of boa constrictors, heard the calls of jaguars and ocelots, and identified prints of jaguars, tapirs, ocelots, and more. The river tubing was relaxing as was swimming by (and behind) the waterfall. He took us to a Mayan restaurant for a very delicious lunch and made a stop at the chocolate shop for us. I would say that you need a few things- bring a change of dry clothes (and obvs swimsuit), hiking/water shoes- the hike is rocky and steep at points (keens were great), bug spray, and sunscreen. A dry bag is great if you have it. Worth every cent. Edgar was awesome. Book this excursion! It helps with the conservation efforts in Belize!
