We had the best time on this cave tubing experience. Tubing through the caves and after under the trees was awesome, but even better were the guides who provided a lot of interesting information and most importantly went above and beyond to help our group. My mom was having a tough time making the walk to the starting point for the cave tubing and one of the guides took her in a kayak to meet us at the starting point so she didn't have to cross three small rivers lined with small rocks. Thanks guys. YOU ROCK!!!

We arranged for our guide to pick us up at the water taxi and dropped us off at Cahal Pech in San Ignacio, and on the way we added a side trip to the Belize Zoo. This was a fantastic day trip and our guide added to the experience by pointing local birds and other things along the road. The Belize Zoo was a fantastic addition and gave us an opportunity to stretch our legs as we walked through the exhibits. The cave tubing was so much fun. The walk to the departure point on the river is a bit of an adventurous hike, but I am so glad I did it. The cave tubing is relaxing and so much fun.

Naz was a great guide. He pointed out things on the drive and all thru the tubing. There were only 2 couples so we got lots of attention. The walk and tubing was easy. All necessary equipmemt was provided. The optional walk in the cave is harder, rocky and uneven but not slick. Good water shoes are a must.

Tour operators were quick to get us on our way once we arrived on shore. We had one of our best excursions to date with Fred. The walk through the jungle with the river crossings was fun. Fred was very knowledgeable about many of the jungle plant, tree, and animal species. We learned a lot. We didn't have to carry our tubes since they were already waiting for us at the entrance of the cave. It was just two of us, so Fred guided us through the water with ease. The adventure really started when we parked our tubes inside and hiked over the cave rocks and swam in the water towards the back away from the river route. That's where we saw even more formations including the "waterfall" and some old cave pottery which is scattered throughout. Fred made sure he gave us a personalized, unique, and fun experience. After hiking through the cave, we finished off the rest of the river tubing. If we could, we would give Fred and this experience more than 5 stars. The facilities at the park entrance include clean bathrooms, food, drinks, and souvenirs to purchase. Be sure to wear good water shoes for this one. Thank you, Fred! You were fantastic!

Tubing in the caves and seeing the different formations. We were picked up from outside the Carnival port by Abner of V.I.V. and then driven about an hour to Nohoch Che’en Park to tube. We requested a stop for water which we paid $5 for a 1.5liter bottle. At the park, we rented Crocs for $3 each and then were handed tubes and helmets. This was surprising to me as I had specifically booked this tour because tube portage was included. I didn’t complain to Abner because he would have had to carry 3 tubes but I feel this was deceptive. We crossed 3 rivers, then tubed, swam and climbed through the different caves to see the sparkling ones and the pottery artifacts. We then leisurely floated back to the start and carried our tubes back to the storage locker. It was a fun tour and I learned quite a bit, however, when I went to write this review, I found the same exact tour with the same exact company for $50 less a ticket on Trip Advisor. So now I feel deceived and ripped off.

Fab was absolutely wonderful. I’ve done this tour before with my mom on a different company, and had an amazing experience just floating through the cave. THIS was above and beyond that. We went swimming in multiple spots in the beautiful crystal clear turquoise waters, and I swear Fab knew everything about any question you threw at him. He was so watchful that we saw many iguanas and when I voiced I was hopeful to see monkeys, he found them for me. He knew so many many facts about the cave and took us exploring up it. It was a phenomenal experience and I was very impressed. His passion about the cave shows in how much he loves the area and showing others it. Absolutely amazing.
