Goonies adventure - This was such a memorable experience. Our guides were very knowledgeable, Abraham was so patient guiding us through the cave. Highly recommend for anyone searching for an Indiana Jones adventure. It is a highly active and athletic activity. Recommend wearing proper footwear and being Comfortable in water

ATM Caves with Belize Family Adventures was a total highlight - Actun Tunichil Muknal or ATM Caves were amazing thanks to our excellent informative good-humoured guide Gliss from Belize Family Adventures who kept us all safe with his expert guiding This tour required us to wear hard hats with head torches for most of it, walking on the flat on wide well cleared jungle paths for approx 1km to the cave entrance from the park entrance wading through three parts of a river, swimming (the only swimming required) for about 5m at the cave entrance and walking (plenty uneven terrain) and scrambling over rocks wading through water for more than 50% of the trail inside the cave, squeezing between rocks (quite tight in a few parts) for approx 2.5km inside the cave and the same in reverse to return to the park entrance Gliss pointed out the artefacts, some skeletal remains of the humans sacrificed and gave us a good outline of the Mayan culture Cameras including mobile phones are banned (only photos I took are of the guide Gliss and the huge cornfield en route) The only thing cave visitors are permitted is a water bottle that must not be left behind Be prepared to be wet throughout the cave visit and a bit cold when deep inside the cave Lunch prepared by the Belize Family Adventures staff was excellent Belizian rice with beans, chicken stew and coleslaw, a salad for the vegans/vegetarians This tour averages about 5h and most cave visitors are ravenous at the end Transport to and from our hotel was included We had an excellent driver Jamed who shared his knowledge about plants trees and agriculture in the region

Amazing experience - This was an amazing experience and I am so glad we went even though I was slightly hesitant at first since I don't love heights or small spaces! Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and made sure that everyone in our group was comfortable with each portion of the experience. The lunch afterwards was a wonderful meal of chicken and beans and rice and was greatly appreciated after our morning of hiking, swimming and climbing!

Unique Experience @ ATM - What a fun day full of history and adventure. Had great interactions with Ben & Abraham - both men made the day easy and fun. Definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing experience! - Amazing experience! Fernando our guide was awesome and very informative. We weren’t 100% sure what we were getting ourselves into but it was by far the highlight of our trip. Lunch after was delicious as well!

Great memorable ATM tour - Manuel helped make it a wonderful tour. He was very helpful when needed, pointed out beautiful cave formations, did a great job pointing out Mayan artifacts, and explaining their culture. It was a very memorable day.

Unique and challenging experience - ATM is definitely a unique experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. The after cave lunch was quite good. A perfect ending to a long, tiring excursion. Because I’m a regular hiker, I thought this excursion would be pretty easy. While it wasn’t strenuous, it was more of a workout than I expected because of rock scrambles in the cave. Helpful hints….I could have used a shoe better than my very lightweight water shoes. A few hours of walking across rocky terrain plus walking in socks in part of the cave gave me some very sore feet. If you’re subject to motion sickness, don’t sit in the back of the transport van. The dirt road leading to ATM will test you.

Awesome. - We had Ben as our guide. He was one of the first ten guides that led tours through the cave. He was very knowledgeable and clearly cares deeply about the cultural significance of caves. The cave was awesome. The water was just the right temperature. There were tight spaces and a far amount of scrambling but as a relatively fit couple in our 60s we had no trouble keeping up and took a far amount of ribbing about our age. Ours was a group of eight-- a nice, couple from Calgary and a sweet family of four from New York. They were great caving companions and Lily, the cook, made an awesome lunch. Definitely glad we did it and well worth the price for the experience. In case it's not made clear to you...you need socks...not water socks for part of the cave. Going barefoot is not an option if you care about preserving the caves interior....they are trying to protect the ground from the oils on your feet. Feel very fortunate to have gone while there are still a reduced number of guides leading tours. My understanding is that they will be doubling the number of visitors soon and I fear it will be overcrowded in the cave and disrupt the artifacts.

Amazing tour, amazing tour guide - Amazing experience. Had no issues with the drive to and back to our lodging. Our tour guide, Patrick, was excellent. Couldn't have asked for a better person. We ended up seeing him and the driver in San Ignacio on another day and he offered to give us a ride back to our lodging. Lunch was rice and beans with chicken and salad cooked by a local lady. It was amazing and probably one of the best meals we had.

Beautiful cave, not a great guide experience - The cave itself was amazing and well worth the trip. Specific to this outfit, there were some unusual experiences that made parts of the trip slightly uncomfortable. Our main complaint was with our guide who seemed to be treating women as less than capable of completing the same physical feats as the men in our group. He did not take the time to ask people what they were comfortable doing, instead making assumptions based on our body shapes and sizes while not helping those who actually needed it. He also made some sexist jokes that weren’t appealing, including the trope about four rings in marriage and bad mothers-in-law. I would have rather just focused on the history of the cave and people that used it.
