5.00Wayne (our driver) got us to the location promptly and beat the crowds, Hector (ATM cave guide) was very knowledgeable about the caves history and took us through fun "shortcuts" while keeping a comfortable pace, and Pedro (Xunan guide) was great with explaining the historical significance of the ruins and helping to take photos.
Definitely worth the full day combo tour!

5.00We had a great full day tour with Dimas to the ATM Cave and Xunantunich ruins. The cave tour was one of the top adventures of our lives! It was incredible and our guide added so much insight and relevant details. The lunch provided was delicious, especially the fresh tortillas, DELISH! The ruins at Xunantunich were epic. We had done Cahal Pech the day before on our own so I wasn’t sure if it would be worth it but it was mind-blowing! Again, the constant flow of history and answers to our questions by Dimas exponentially enhanced the experience. He also took amazing pictures for us and was an all around great guy!
Definitely worth the time...

I’m sorry I will not have pictures from the cave. It’s pretty freaking amazing! The temple was awesome also. Definitely a must do and your guide will make the difference. Thanks Hector and Goodborn !!

5.00Went out today with Hector to the ATM cave and Goldborn to Xunantunich Maya Temple. Both were amazing in different ways. Our guides were the best! So informative and willing to share the culture and history. My husband and I learned a lot. Do it! You won’t regret it.
Do it!

5.00Dimas Is a great guide! This tour is the real deal, climbing wet rocks, going through cracks and crevices, etc. No cameras allowed because prior tourists damaged skulls and bones by accidentally dropping their cameras.
Highly recommend this ATM tour!!

5.00Our family had such a wonderful time on this tour with Ditmas! He told us so much about the area and culture. The site is about an hour drive from San Ignacio. Then we hiked for about 35 mins through the jungle with three water crossings. When you enter the cave, you will swim throughout the tour, climb, crawl, and duck through various openings for about two hours. The views were magnificent! The ancient artifacts were interesting to learn about. When we got out of the cave we were so grateful for the Snickers snack! After hiking back, we enjoyed a local bbq lunch before the hour drive to Xunantunich. It was so hot but we moved around in the shade while taking in the views. This tour was the highlight of our trip!
Worth it!

5.00This tour is fantastic! Cayo Inland were extremely responsive to all enquiries and allowed me to join other groups as a solo traveller They were prompt, on time, friendly, reassuring and the food provided was delicious! As for the tour itself - WOW! The ATM is incredible and getting there is such a journey. I don’t want to spoil it (I think the surprise of not knowing was better) but expect lots of swimming, bouldering and going through small gaps. Our guide knew the inside of the cave like the back of his hand. No cameras allowed inside so no photos attached - but this has been the highlight of my trip As for Xunantunich, beautiful. Our guide clearly had a passion for the topic of the Mayan world and was able to answer all questions. You get there late in the day, and we had the place to ourselves!
Fascinating

5.00Once in a lifetime experience!! It was fascinating ! Do not pass up on the opportunity to do this. Lots of navigating water but quite doable. The cave is stunning . You cannot take pics so I hope my memory holds up!! Quite an amazing experience to actually see remains from the Mayan time. Seeing the largest Mayan ruin in Belize was the cherry on the top for this excursion .
Once in a lifetime Experience!

5.00One of the best experiences of my lifetime and highly recommend Cayo Inland Expeditions as they are one of the earlier groups to get into the cave and it surely makes a difference! Awesome guide with great communication! You do need to be in good physical shape for this excursion and not be afraid of tight spaces!
