A great tour into a beautiful cave with cultural significance. - This is a nice trip for the price and our guide was Marlin. He picked us up from the hotel and started the tour right away, talking about Belize and interesting stuff we passed on the way to the cave. We had a great time, the cave was very cool. We swam in the river after the tour and it was very refreshing.

Good tour, nice place - Barton Creek is a short 30-40min drive San Ignacio. The caving experience itself is about an hour. Pretty place, worth seeing in my opinion.

Paddle into this mysterious Mayan archeological site - We enjoyed the morning, from getting picked up from our hotel on time to just listening to our guide talk about Barton Cave as an important Mayan archeological site as we paddled in. He answered all our questions and was very kind to help us figure out how to paddle and navigate the environment. This activity also helped us get used to the heat because after our tour in and out, we cooled off in the creek. It is a really nice pls e to ease into the environment if you are not used to the heat. Refreshing!

Wow!! - Francisco was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the Mayans. The experience he gave us canoeing in Barton Creek Cave was amazing!! We say many breathtaking structures and had quite an adventure squeezing through and under tight places. I would totally recommend this tour, especially if Francisco is your guide!!
