Great day in the rain! - It was a great day and fantastic experience. The tubing guide was fun and knowledgeable. Dirk, our driver, was exceptional. He knew of delicious places to stop for lunch. He has an infectious positive personality. I would highly recommend the tour. We paired it with the chocolate demonstration.

Amazing family vacation - We just returned from a weeks stay in Hopkins Bay. There were 11 of us, ages ranging from 8-80. We had 2 ocean front villas at Muy’Ono and it was wonderful. We snorkled, fished, river tubed, zip lined, cave tubed and did the ATV tour. All of it was great. I highly recommend Josie Saldana , gettoknowbelize.com. She arranged it all including pick up at dangria airport and had a golf cart rental waiting for us at the resort when we arrived. She was very reachable by email, text or phone. She did an awesome job for us! It is a family run business and I can’t say enough good things about them. You will find the nicest, kindest most humble people in Hopkins. — at Josie Saldana.

Caving tubing was a blast, must try! - Must try! The experience was great, we got picked up at our resort in Hopkins right on time. The van they picked us up in looked new and had great AC. When we arrived the team got us fitted for a life jacket, hard hat, and grabbed a tube. The tubes we got were better then expected, they were blue with a backrest which made it really comfortable to float. The walk to the cave is short maybe 5-10min and it's mostly flat. There are stairs that are uneven but a rope to hold onto makes it pretty easy. Once down in the cave the guide will pull you up stream, once at the top of the flow you can easily float down. The water is crystal clear, for some reason I thought it would muddy/murky. We are here during the off season so we were expecting low water but honestly it wasn't that bad and so worth it. After floating the cave we got to swim in a blue pool, the water is so refreshing and the fish in the water are friendly. This is a must do and I can't thank the guides enough for such a fun afternoon.

COMBO - Cave Tubing and Exploration - Very Physical followed by Very Relaxing - If you are physically active, DEFINITELY do the combo of cave tubing AND cave exploration. My group of friends is pretty adventurous and we have never explored a cave at this extreme level. With only our headlamps to guide us in the complete blackness, we climbed up and down steep inclines and boulders, squeezed ourselves through tiny crevices that then opened into beautiful massive caverns, got to awe at the “glitter” that decorated the cave ceiling and walls. We absolutely got dirty as we went spelunking through the caverns. This is NOT hiking with stairs and railings. This is very physical and not for those that don’t seek adventure. If you want to challenge yourself, do it! We loved every second of it! After getting very dirty and very sweaty, we got to swim in the crystal clear fresh water inside the cave and the relax and float our way back to the entrance. Our guide Vida was exceptional. We would NEVER have gotten to explore the way we did without him. He took us to places in the cave we didn’t think we could go - showing us how to wedge our backs on one wall and push our feet on the other and scale up and over spaces and reach new depths of the cave. Personally - if we had ONLY gone cave tubing, I don’t think I would have enjoyed it very much. I would have been a bit bored. In addition, without a guide, you are not allowed to explore the cave like we did. Simply too dangerous, so get a guide! But after the spelunking without guide, along with learning about the cave and why it glitters in gold and silver and white, the cave tubing was the PERFECT end to an amazing experience. Highly recommend if you want to test yourself and do something you have probably never done before!

Highly recommend-use for tours and airport transportation too - Great company and great value! We used this company for the cave tubing trip which was made extra special because of Greg, who was our driver for the day. He also added a couple extra stops just because we were on limited time and knew we wanted to make the most of it. The place we went for lunch was also delicious and one of our best meals while on our stay in Belize. Greg also was our driver to the airport the next day. We also rented our golf cart for the week from this company and it was a brand new golf cart-better pricing too than other golf cart rental places. I highly recommend this company-would use them again!

Excellent crew! - We did several excursions with this company - catch and cook, cave tubing, river tubing, zip line at Bocawina, river tubing and 1/2 day snorkel at the reef. We had Greg or Dirk as our van driver and Medz and Jeffrey on the boat. All were very good. They were all safe and knowledgeable and were very accommodating with us when we asked to stop at points along the way. Super nice guys and made the trips even better.

So interesting! - Our family enjoyed cave tubing at St. Herman’s Cave. It was an easy walk to the cave opening, and this tour company provided everything we needed. A few of us have issues with claustrophobia, but this tour was manageable despite that. Definitely wear water shoes and use insect repellent. I’d also recommend bringing a change of clothes, as there’s a beautiful waterfall and “blue hole” swimming spot just down the road from here.

Visit it without tubing - This experience was interesting but I don’t think it was worth the price. The tubing part is clumsy because there’s not enough water for you to move without getting stuck or have your guide push you. I would visit it but not on a guided tubing tour. You can walk in and get a very good feel for it without needing to go in a tube. But don’t miss out on the Blue Hole. It’s situated nearby and totally worth your time!

Disappointed - Guide was late but friendly. Cave was only 1/2 mile long. Safety equipment was prey worn and the float up to the head of the river is being towed by the guide and then towed back down. Not what we expected and the mosquitoes were unbelievable. So many bites. If u choose this outing bring plenty of OFF or a flamethrower
