A mixture of nature and fun - Great experience. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip. Our guide Abner was friendly and knowledgeable. He collected us from the port and provided us with lots of information on our drive to the caves. We were able to leave our belongings in the car. We walked through the jungle and waded through the river 3 times to the start of the caves where we collected our tubes. We then floated through the caves as a group of 6 tied together. The scenery was amazing. Be aware that you do get wet and need suitable footwear for the walk. We finished with a small traditional lunch. Abner then drove us back to the port. Would highly recommend.

Excellent Guide & Experience - We loved our experience!! Our guide took us through the city and shared interesting information about Belize as we drove to our cave destination. We learned so much, enjoyed hearing about the history of the people and cultures that make up Belize and stood in amazement at the breath-taking beauty all around us! We appreciated having a knowledgeable, experienced guide in Shorty! We walked a mile and crossed the river 3 times to the beginning of the cave. From there, the tubing began. After our river adventure, we enjoyed lunch and a ride back to port. Can’t wait to visit again!

Unbelievable cave tubing family experience! - Wow! This was an amazing experience and such an enjoyable and educational way to see the remarkable underground caves of Belize. We had to tender to the port but it was no trouble finding the station where Charlie’s employees were located as all of them were wearing blue Superman shirts which all read “Charlie Chan’s Excursions”. We had 14 members of our family on the excursion and Charlie provided a comfortable, air conditioned van with a cooler filled with bottled water. Our guide, Brett, was so incredibly informative and spent the entire hour long drive to the caves pointing out local points of interest until we arrived at the site. We were able to rent Crocs or other water proof shoes as well as waterproof lanyard type plastic covers for cell phones so we could safely take pictures and videos throughout our expedition. We walked on a well worn path and waded across a creek for about a mile (30 minute walk) until we arrived at the starting point. We were each fitted with a comfortable flotation tube and a lighted safety helmet as well as a life vest. There were 14 of us ranging in age from 4-74 and the walk as well as the tubing experience was very manageable! Brett and another guide from the site adeptly hooked all our tubes together in rows of two and pulled/pushed our family through the caves explaining all about the areas of interest. So many fascinating stalagmites and stalactites. Towards the end of the cave, Brett encouraged us to hop out of the tubes and we all happily bobbed along the easy moving current until we came to the end of our tour! That was an unbelievable, memorable experience! After the tubing, we came back to the main entrance, changed into dry clothes and got back in our air conditioned van where Brett and the driver, Jonathan, had a cooler full of cold bottled water. We were taken to a charming local, open air “pub” for a Belizian lunch of rice, beans, chicken and salad along with water and/or soda. After lunch, we were returned to the port in plenty of time to board the ship before the mandatory set-sail time. I would highly recommend Charlie’s cave tubing excursion! The entire family considered it a real highlight of our cruise and we’re so pleased that we booked through Viator to go with Charlie’s group!

Cavetubing in Belize - It was a great experience from start to finish! Abner was amazing as a guide and full of great information about the caves and really all of Belize. I would absolutely recommend this tour for anyone who loves a little adventure.

Cave Tubing - What an awesome experience! You get a chance to tube down a river through an ancient mayan cave. It is awesome. The rafts are tied together so no one floats away. The guides do a great job of keeping you away from the walls of the cave. I recommend bringing a dry bag for your stuff ( but keep it to a minimum), and also bug spray. The ride is slow and relaxing. No rapids.

Tour and Nelson was... - Tour and Nelson was awesome! Got started early, skipped the crowds, had an in caverns and out caverns ride.

Best excursion ever! - Such an amazing experience! We got to explore the Mayan underworld, Xibalba. Out guide Nolan was awesome! He was super knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us! He guided us through the caves and gave us a ton of cool information. He even stopped at a local site so we could get some cheap drinks! Charlies company is the best option if you want to see the caves! It is much cheaper than any other guided tour and we go further down the river than any other group! They even included the extra fee for them to bring the tubes up for us! Amazing company! Will book with them again!

Awesome experience... great guide. - We had Jonathan as our guide. He was awesome... can't say enough great things about him. He was knowledgeable about the caves and he shared quite a bit of information about Belize. The caves were pretty cool, lunch was yummy at the local on site restaurant. Very good bargain. I was a bit nervous booking this excursion that wasn't associated with the cruise ship we were on, but the guide was easy to find when we left the terminal and I was able to text him the day before and he responded right away. Overall awesome experience and would recommend using this company....and if you can ask for Jonathan.

Phenomenal experience! - Nelson was an amazing guide! The experience was so great and I highly recommend it. The caves were wonderful and the food was great too. No complaints at all! Heads up though- bring water for the walk to the caves. It is very hot!

Excellent - Tour guide was excellent! Very knowledgeable and thoughtful. Wife had some trouble with the walk to the cave and guide was quite accommodating. Small group was nice. Food ech.
