Excellent! - Excellent!! It was just me and my sister, Vini was our Guide and driver. He was wonderful, we learned so much from him about some of the Mayan Culture and how sacred Jaguar Paw was. Would totally recommend!

Don't miss the best activity of Belize! - This was an amazing take. Belize was experiencing a tropical storm but the tubing was a go. Wear water sandals or water shoes and your bathing suit. We got outfitted with our life preserver, helmet, head light and large tube that you then have to carry on a 10 minute hike up to the cave. The tube has handles so you can sling it onto your shoulder and hold it. Once you descend into the cave the 2 guides help you into the tube in the water and lash them all together. One guide in front, one in the rear. The guides pull you through the cave explaining the different rock formations. At one point you "park" the tubes, get out and walk a small loop in and around more unbelizable formations. Back into the tubes for another stretch of water to another stop where you again, get out, walk across a small bridge and then have a choice to tube to the exit or swim in beautiful clear water. I chose to swim and enjoyed every minute. My friend brought and underwater camera so we got some great shots. Unless you have a very watertight case, I wouldn't chance your phone or a regular camera. This was my favorite part of my trip and the two guides were wonderful.

Best Excursion I've ever been on! - The most amazing excursion I've ever been on! First, we went in the low season which meant the four of us had the van to ourselves and were only one of two groups in the cave. Second, our guide Christian was phenomenal. From the time he picked us up in Maya Beach until we reached Jaguar Paw, he was giving us facts and information about EVERYTHING! Not only related to the Mayan Culture, but also just about Belize in general. He was so knowledgeable, and we appreciated his expertise. On the tour, he took his time and explained everything and showed us so many amazing things. In the cave, we were able to get off the tubes and hike around. It was magical-from swimming in the natural pool, to drinking water off the stalactite, to touching the ancient Mayan pottery we were blown away! At times, we were the only group floating in the cave, so we were able to turn our headlamps off and float in pitch black-it was just mind blowing. Christian was patient with us after tubing and lunch when we wanted to spend some time shopping. Overall, it was just a phenomenal experience.

BOOK THE TRIP!! - This tour was amazing!! 100% recommend any trips with Captain Jaks, it may seem like a long distance to go from placencia but it’s so worth it. Christian took great care of us and we learned so much about the caves and Belize and the history. Go early (7 or 8am leave) on a fri/sat/sun and you may have the cave to yourselves like we did! I will never forget this trip!! They provide towels, water, lunch so don’t worry about that. Bring a pair of tevas or some water shoes with tread because you’ll need to walk on rocks and be in water in one pair of shoes.

A perfect mix - The perfect amount of relaxing and walking/cave exploring. Our guide Christian was super knowledgeable and helped us have a great time! We loved floating in the tubes and exploring the caves. Finishing up with a nice meal. Totally recommend this one if you don’t want anything too strenuous but still want to see the jungle!
