5.00George was absolutely amazing!! He was very knowledgeable about the plants and the caves. He even took the ones who couldn’t jump into the water one by one so we didn’t miss anything on the tour. We had so much fun on this amazing tour!! He even climbed the temple with us explaining everything as we climbed. Highly recommend!!
Excellent day trip!

5.00Our group of four had an open day on our recent Belize trip and scheduled a private tour with Belize Wild Caribbean Tours. It was a great way to spend the day. We visited the Xunantunich Archeological site and floated through the Nohoch Che'en caves. Linsdale lead the tour and arranged for private guides at the Mayan Ruins and cave tour. Linsdale was great - his pre-trip communications were excellent and he's super friendly and informative. The guides at the two sites were also excellent as was the traditional Belizean lunch at a local restaurant. We highly recommend Belize Wild Caribbean Tours.
Amazing day trip!

5.00We had an amazing tour of Belize and one of the most beautiful caves I’ve ever seen! We flew in from Florida just for the day, and Linsdale met us at the airport with snacks and drinks. He’s from Belize and he’s local law enforcement, so you couldn’t possibly have a better guide. He watched over us very closely as he showed us his beautiful country and culture. This was one of the coolest experiences I’ve had, and I can’t wait to go back with more time to spare and see more with him. If you are thinking about doing a tour here, do this one! I have been around the world, and he’s still one of my favorite tour guides.
