Cave-Tubing Xibalba - Awesome tour, Abner was a very good guide and had lots of interesting facts about the maya culture and nature to share, our group was only 4 persons strong and it was cool to explore the caves in such a small group. We even could explore a bit by foot and jump into a cenote, which is part of the caves.

Cave Tubing - My boyfriend and I planned a last minute cave tubing excursion, and we are so glad we did. Cave tubing was one of our most fun activities we did in Belize. Our tour guide (Marco) was so outgoing, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable on not only the caves, but the surrounding wildlife as well. Marco is very passionate about his job, which made our experience so enjoyable.

Great Very Do-Able Relaxing Adventure - If you have a rental car, this is the way to go!! We saved about $30 per head. We went on a Monday at 10:00 and avoided all the cruise ship crowds and had huge stretches of water all to ourselves. Our guy was a few minutes late picking up another couple from a hotel, but no biggie - we're on "island time". Abner from VIV was our guide and he was absolutely wonderful. The "hike" was maybe 30 minutes and hot (bring water bottle), but not hard, then the tubing part was absolutely delightful. They had tubes waiting for us and we only carried them a short distance at the very end. I'm upper 40s, not necessarily in shape and I was fine. Our teens LOVED it. Our family has done a ton of crazy stuff around the world and this was top of list. A different company said the water in the caves was too low and tried to get us to go on a different tour, but VIV had no issue at all, so make another call if you're being told no.

A Must Do Excursion - Our tour guide was John, with Viv Tours, and he was so great. We were the last group and he patiently waited for us. He didn't rush us or anything. He was very knowledgeable and really made the experience.

Poor communication and lack of transparency - The tubing experience itself was standard- the guide provided a few random tid bits about leaves, etc as we walked in to the sites with the tubes at the base of the cave. What was problematic to me was communication and honesty. We booked a 10am tour as we had to be in the city at a certain time. The evening before, they contacted us asking if we could change it to a 11am. We said no, because we couldn’t. We did not hear from them again. The next morning it was raining so we confirmed that the tour was still happening and they said yes, at 10 as planned. We arrived at 930, as per instructions to arrive before start time. When they hadn’t arrived by 10 we messaged them. They said there were car problems. This exchange happened a few times until they pulled up at just before 10:30, which is also when a second group showed up. We spoke to that group, and viv tours had booked them for 12 but the night before asked if they could come at 11, then 10. The other travellers apologized that they couldn’t make it for 10. In short, viv tours last minute changed the time of two group tours, trying to make it more convenient for the tour company, and also lied about car troubles when it was just that they were starting later as they intended. I am not impressed and based on this would not use their company again.
