Great Experience - Our tour guide Nelson was very knowledgeable and friendly. I learned a lot about the culture and experienced the amazing views. Great excursion

Super tour by Superman and Staff! - I was nervous about booking this excursion because of the distance from the port. As it turned out there was nothing for me to worry about. Charlie gave specific directions of where to meet him. We rode in an air conditioned van with passengers from another Carnival ship NELSON was our guide and gave us interesting information along the way. The hike to the cave is reasonable. We DID NOT have to carry our tubes on the hike. Charlie had already taken our tubes to the cave entrance. After the cave tour we had a nice lunch in the shade before returning to port with time to buy a few souvenirs before getting in line for the water shuttle back to the ship. Great job Charlie, Nelson and Walter!

Beautiful Day - Charlies cave tubing trip to Nohoch Che'en was wonderful. The ride to the site was about an hour, we were outfitted, then walked to the cave opening (wear your water shoes.) Our guide Chop gave us the Mayan history of the caves as we slowly drifted through the cave. It was beautiful, quiet and peaceful.

Good experience - The drive from the cruise port to the river was kind of long (about an hour). The guide used this time to talk to us about the country, but still, it felt long. The experience in the river was very good and lunch was tasty.

Amazing Float Trip Down the River & Cave - Our tour guides were excellent! We started with a 1 mile hike to the cave crossing rivers. We were able to swim at one location to cool off. We were outfitted the life vests and helmet. Once in our rafts, our guides worked very hard to navigate us through deep water and shallow areas, including the backstroke to pull a raft of 6 tubes. They provided narration to explain the limestone formations - stalactites and stalagmites, and pointed out nesting swallows and bats. We floated by an underground waterfall where we got soaked, then a Cenote that formed the cave system. Our helmets had a light, but was not very powerful. Definitely take lotsa pictures! A traditional Belizean lunch of rice and beans with chicken and plantains, and a beverage were included.

Amazing excursion with a fantastic tour guide, Jonathan! - We booked the Cave Tubing experience with Charlie’s group and had the absolute pleasure of having Jonathan as our guide for the day. He was easy to find in his Superman tee shirt as described and comfortable drove us through Belize City and out to the caves (about an hour drive). He pointed out all the highlights along the way and shared a wealth of information about Belize, its culture, lifestyle and history. He engaged with both parents and kids alike! Upon arrival at the caves, Jonathan placed our order for lunch for after our adventure making sure we had no food allergies or aversions. All expenses are included including lunch and your tubing gear. I highly recommend that you bring crocs or hard sole water shoes. Regular flimsy water shoes are really not sufficient as the rivers are super rocky. We rented crocs there for $3 per pair which was great but we definitely paid the price of a few blisters. Other yours groups had to carry their tubes through the hike to the cave launch. With Jonathan, we did not have to carry anything. We had our life jackets and helmets but picked up our tubes at the cave entrance which was awesome. The hike to the cave was about 15-20 minutes and a nice walk through the greenery. The tubing was excellent! No tight areas or unwanted wildlife spotted! Jonathan expertly guided us through the caves, pointing out the highlights. When we came to the end, we were given the chance to get out of our tubes and swim in the river. After tubing, our lunch was ready - delicious chicken, rice and beans, plantain and soda that both my kids devoured! We headed back to the port with plenty of time before our ship departed. Excellent excursion that was well worth the money. Jonathan was a blast! 100% recommend!!!!

Charlie's Cave tubing in Belize - We took the Cave tubing during our port stop in Belize. I was worried about getting back to ship in time because the last tender was leaving at 3 pm. We left promptly at 9am and the tubing location was about an hour away. The cave tubing was great and the lunch after was really good also. I like Charlie's Tour in that we were in small group, unlike the excursion offered by the cruise ship. We were able to get back to port in time and had about hour to tour the port area before boarding the tender back to the ship.

Cave tubing in Belize - We rushed to get off the ship and sneaked on to the first tender with those that had booked with Carnival but then we had to wait almost an hour for others. As I had seen from other reviews, it is a very long van ride to the tubing activity. About an hour and fifteen minutes.. Then got the gear on and our group of 8 hiked the 35 min or so to the cage entrance. It was very fun and a unique opportunity. On the tubes for probably 50 min.. 10 min or so outside of the caves. Then a local style lunch and a similar long drive back. It is a long outing with the travel. Worth doing but expect a lot of travel time and tough to time everyone getting off the tender boats in Belize.

Make Sure You Do This Tour With Charlie's Cave Tubing! - We had a great time cave tubing with Charlie's Cave Tubing. We had 14 in our group, ages 20 - 80+ years young. Captain Chino made sure we were all together on the long ride over. He was funny and shared lots of history of Belize with us. So many standout moments with this company - contrary to other tour operators, they had young men bring up our tubes for us. Instead of passing on the cost of that to customers, they pay for that to encourage young men to get into tourism. It is a bit of a trek to the mouth of the cave, and we all made it. Even though there are several tour companies at the beginning, we soon separated into our own little groups. Chris was our guide, he was great! He shared interesting information about the caves and their uses throughout history. He spoke about the Belizean tourist industry. He took good care of us. We noticed 2 or 3 times along the way, other groups getting out of the water and carrying their tubes before we had to leave, giving us a great extended tour through the caves and down the river. It ended with a delicious lunch which was included at the restaurant. Beans and rice, marinated chicken, salad, and a Fanta (or water or soda), then the long drive back, with Captain Chino entertaining us with family stories and heartfelt life advice. There was a great local artist there, Ernesto, who did beautiful carvings on slate. Many of us supported him by buying his artwork.

Charlie was a no-show - We got no experience with Charlie's Cave tubing. We had confirmation and tickets paid for, arrived on the 1st tender off our ship around 8:45am, but was no man in a Superman shirt there to meet us. A Belize tourist bureau man made a phone call to Charlie. He told us that we had cancelled and they were too far away for us to go on the excursion. Also said he had called us on the ship the day before. We had no calls nor did we have cell service. Fortunately another tour service took us in their group. But, we had to pay for another tour service. Thankfully, they were great! So I would have to give Charlie's a 0. And we want our money back from Charlie.
