Tubing through Belize's unique underground cave system is the must-do tour in Belize. After meeting your Belize guide, you will walk to your air-conditioned transportation for the ... moreapproximately one-hour drive to the Caves Branch River and its winding path through the Mayan Mountains and numerous ancient caves.

After picking up your tube, you will walk down to the adjacent river. This will be the spot where you finish your float. You will start the adventure by wading across the river, holding onto a rope strung across the water. From here, you will set out on a 30-minute walk along a jungle trail over loose gravel. Guests must be in good shape and able to keep up with the guide on this Belize excursion.

At the entrance of the underground cave system, your guide will hand out miner's lamps before you enter the water. You will float along on the gentle current that will take you through the cave system. Intricate crystalline formations line the cave, and the majestic rise and fall of stalagmites and stalactites add to the serene opulence of nature. The floating part of the adventure lasts approximately two hours, depending on the current, and brings you back to the starting location of your Belize excursion.

After the float, walk back up to the transportation for the drive to the pier.

Please Note: As the river bottom is rocky, you must wear shoes (sneakers or water shoes) while tubing, and they will get wet. Do not forget a towel and dry shoes for after the tour. Guests with special dietary requirements may need to bring a snack or power bar, as the tour duration is five hours. Guests must be a minimum age of 8 years old and 48" in height. Tour times listed are in local time.

Fantastic day with Dario!
We came to Belize a couple days early to enjoy the local vibe before our scuba trip. We did a last-minute booking with Dario and Challenge Travel and Tours. We arrived early just to make sure we were there on time and found our Guide was also early, so we were able to start our adventure sooner! We had a great history lesson on our way to our first stop zip lining, and after the thrill of flying through ... more the jungle, we headed over to the cave tubing. Dario had fun stories to tell as we worked our way down through the cave. On our way back, Dario took time to stop at a local fruit stand to let us try some of the local fruit. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Dario as your guide!
