Highlight of our trip! - This tour was really top notch! The lead tour guide and all the staff were wonderfully friendly and gave us a fun & authentic experience. This was my 1st trip not using cruise line excursions and it far exceeded our expectations. We had a large group of all ages 4yrs old to 70 and all of us were really impressed with the zip lining and tubing ! The food at their family farm was literally my favorite meal of the entire cruise. Notes: took a bit to find the meeting place, (our fault) but it was right outside our terminal on the main street. Might want to Buy some snacks before you get on the bus. Water taxi from the cruise took about 45 min (longer than expected) so leave the ship early so you can get started on the adventure ! It was a full day! Well worth the money

Fantastic! Highly recommend - I booked this tour for my 93-year old father and 16-year old son and they both had the time of their lives! (and my dad has been on many excursions all over the world--this was his favorite). They loved their guide, Anton, and the caves. My dad had a little trouble walking to the launch point over the tree roots and Anton was very kind in helping him. Dad said the tubing itself was very easy for him as the guide did the work and they just floated. They said the caves were remarkable and a great experience. They loved the home cooked meal afterwards. Highly recommend! Thanks, Anton. This was the highlight of their trip.

Unforgettable Adventure: Cave Tubing Bliss with Amazing Guide - Forget the big tour groups and generic experiences! Cave Tubing R Us blew me away with its personalized touch and genuine care. Our guide, David, wasn't just knowledgeable about the caves, he was incredibly patient and accommodating, making sure everyone, especially my mom with limited mobility, felt comfortable and included throughout the adventure. His passion for the caves and enthusiasm for sharing their beauty were contagious. The tour wasn't just about floating through stunning caves (which it was!), it was an immersive experience. We ended the day at David's family restaurant, where his wife, Mellissa, whipped up a phenomenal meal using fresh, organic ingredients grown right on their property. The delicious food and warm atmosphere felt like being welcomed into their home, adding a unique personal touch to the whole adventure. Cave Tubing R Us isn't just a tour, it's an unforgettable Belizean experience that perfectly blends adventure, personalized service, and authentic local cuisine. If you're looking for something special and memorable, look no further!

AMAZING 50TH BIRTHDAY TUBING ADVENTURE!!!!! - I LOVED everything about my tubing adventure. I booked this trip very last minute and my confirmation was sent back very quickly. On this trip with me and my adult children. I was visiting Belize as apart of my 50th Birthday trip. While it was important to me to have a good time I wanted my kids to enjoy themselves too. And boy did we ALL have a great time. Antwan (David's son) was our driver and he was fun and engaging. He answered all our questions and taught us a lot about the various ecosystems that we passed while driving. We started the trip by stopping by his Family's restaurant Fi Wu Restaurant (I'm sure that I got the name wrong.) I was able to catch 2 fish and my daughter caught 2 as well and we had them for lunch. Walking to the cave was GREAT! The conversation on the way was so cool! We learned a lot about the rainforest. The cave was BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL. This caving adventure was the ABSOLUTE BEST part of my vacation. Everyone was so nice and cordial. Antwan even 2 us to 2 different stores one for souvenirs and the other because I NEEDED pickles to ward off leg cramps. I did not have leg cramps ... thank goodness. And I 100% RECOMMEND Antwan as your guide for this tubing adventure. Mostly because the the LUNCH this meal was the absolute BEST I had while in Belize. Melissa was the chef and expertly cooked the fished we caught. I was AMAZED that I still knew how to catch a fish. But Meliisa seasoning and frying skills made it DELICIOUS!!!! This family definitely encompasses excellent hospitality. They made us feel like family.
