River tubing - We had the pleasure of having Pressi and Palmer as our guides. They throughly made the experience fun and enjoyable. We where a group of 10 people just making our way down a river not having to do anything but relax. Pressi and palmer added the laughs and the splashes. Thank you both for the experience

Great family fun - Had a great time. Tour guides were friendly and entertaining. SD was our guide and he was awesome. The river was beautiful and we had a few chances to swim. SD taught us a lot about Jamaican culture as well.

Fun! - LITTTTT! The rum tasting was so much fun! Patrice was very informative and allowed us to have a great time! Appleton Estate is so tasty and a staple in Jamaica so it was great to be able to try it. Me and my friends also did the river tubing with OShine (I think) and he was so funny and chill!! The river was nice and so was the scenery. We also saw the waterfall and had a BOMB photo shoot! We got to take as many pictures and we wanted and they all look super good. Overall a relaxing but fun time! 5 OUT 5 STARS. Just go, that’s it!

Don't miss this! - If you do only one thing in Belize, make sure you check this out. Start your adventure with an exciting drive on narrow winding trails through the woods in a jungle buggy—a powerful side-by-side XUV that will satisfy your need for speed. Make sure you bring your drivers license. Then you hike uphill for a ways to the zip-lining. Fortunately, it's all downhill from here, pardon the cliché. You need to be wearing sensible shoes. It's zip-lining, what more do I need to say! Last but not least, you go down to the river and get in a tube, and embark on a ride through a cave with stalactites and stalagmites where it's nice and cool, and the guide gives an interesting narrative. Water shoes are recommended. Lunch is included, along with a DJ to add to the festive mood. You can buy a nice cold beer or a tropical drink with or without alcohol, or just a soda. There's a gift shop, and lockers are available. This is in the middle of the jungle, with the usual humidity, but the dense leafy canopy overhead saves you from being baked by the sun, and the buses are air conditioned.

ZipLine Cave Tubing and Buggy ride - We did this tour through the cruise ship and enjoyed it. We did Zip line first, then buggy ride, then cave tubing last. It rained the WHOLE DAY! We were soaking wet all day. They do have lockers you can purchase to keep your things dry. They made attempts to keep the ATV helmets dry by covering them but they still were soaking wet when you went to put them on. There is a live DJ there all day which was nice but his music was WAY to loud and also the tour we did included food and a tiny tiny plastic cup of koolaid so make sure and bring money for a drink. The walk to the cave tubing was a lot longer than I thought it would be so make sure your water shoes have a good bottom to them. The zip line was OK the rain forest was very thick and green and helped provide some coverage from the rain. I would say this zip line would be a good starter zip line for anyone. The rain added extra fun to the ATV ride because the whole trail was muddy but with the rain it was hard to see through the helmets from all the rain. All in all it was a fun day and I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Great Trip, but DON’T PURCHASE PHOTOS! - This was a really fun excursion that we booked through our cruise ship. The people were absolutely incredible, and the service was stellar. I’m a generous tipper, but literally every person had their hand out. I spent more on tips than I did on the excursion. A better tipping system would make it easier to express appreciation to all without making the tourists feel sucked dry.
My only really huge complaint is that I bought our pictures there. I paid cash for them to be emailed to me. I never got them. I’ve written 3 emails to the photo place, looked online to where they were supposed to be available, and tried to call them 7 times. Busy signal on the phone, no response to emails, and the few photos online are from back in August. Our tour was in September. I am beyond frustrated. I hate to give negative reviews, but know of no other way to get someone’s attention for help.
Bottom line: very fun day and nice people, but don’t buy the pictures!!

Horrible Experience - I was very disappointed on my last day in Belize. I booked this tour well in advance only to be left sitting in the lobby. The driver never picked us up from the hotel. In fact, I tried reaching out two days before to confirm; being that my tour was paid for (2 people). They never responding. I contacted Viator, and they reached out, only to continually get the voice mail. The Valet at my hotel said if it's not a large group, they usually don't show up or they show up late.
This was very frustrating and disappointing.
