Great cave for any age/fitness level - Ended up doing this tour as the Crystal Caves were closed but I'm delighted I did them in the end. Our guide was Ben, he was great at pointing out some wildlife and giving us info on the walk through the jungle. So many leaf cutter ants which were amazing to see. The walk through the jungle is all flat, nothing to worry about. You cross the river 3 times, once was chest height but the other times was about knee height. Ben made us wear lifejackets the entire time which kept us warm inside the caves and also protected from scratches in the few right squeezes! The caves themselves were great, there were a couple of tight spaces but nothing to be worried about, no crawling for long periods of time or anything like that. Ben constantly told us where to put our feet and how to climb up or down any difficult parts. We saw some crystals made from quartz in the caves, and ancient coral reef formations. Lots of other minerals and elements were pointed out too I just can't remember the names but it was very informative. The relics were interesting to see, I probably enjoyed the actual caving more but it was hard to imagine people going that deep into the caves with all their pots etc. Great trip, everyone could do it with any level of fitness.

Belize Caving Expedition ATM cave 5 Stars! - Belize Caving Expeditions offers a all inclusive extreme caving experience. Starting with personal pick up from my resort, we picked up anfew other passengers and headed to the ATM cave. We were instructed the routine which includes only bringing a water bottle and helmet. Water shoes with socks highly recommended, you will be wearing these the whole time. We were broken up into groups of 8 or less. There were a lot of people waiting for the tour, I was worried it would be overcrowded, but eventually that wasn’t the case. We were guided by Manual,Manny who did a wonderful job. He stopped numerous times along the hike to give valuable history of the jungle, belize and what to expect inside the cave. The hike involves wading through 3 rivers then the entrance of the cave to swim in. You are instructed to stay in single file line and telephone instructions back. Next is the fun part. The extreme caving involves squeezing through crevices, swimming when it’s deep, using the walls to guide you and climbing up steep rocks. No ropes. We saw so many artifacts and skeletons . The cave tour lasted 3-4 hours. The hike back was fast and the tour company provided a hot Belizian meal that was delicious. Would highly recommend Belize Caving Expeditions for your next cave tour.

Best cave experience full of adventure - This is a must do for those who love caves , adventure and Mayan history. You are driven by the company to the site where You leave everything except water and hike for 45minutes thru chest high water. You then swim into the cave and walk, climb swim thru the cave for 3 hours. We had an amazing tour guide, he was older and seemed to know everything about the area and the people.

ATM Cave- Belize Caving Expeditions - Belize Caving Expeditions were our guide through ATM Cave. Expectations were high because of all the great information online, and our experience exceeded those expectations, by a wide margin. It was a fantastic day! The geologic features were simply stunning, and seemingly endless. The archaeology very interesting. Our guide Fernando was very informative, providing great insights throughout the tour, while keeping a close watch on safety. Thanks Fernando! The ATM Cave was a real highlight in our Belize trip. We’ll recommend Belize Caving Expeditions to family and friends.

So caves can be cool - A must go when you are in Belize. I am not at all a cave fanatic, but this experience was from another level. Impressed by history and nature.

A unique experience we'll always remember! - Our tour guide, Patrick, was amazing! He was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He took the tour at a slower pace and really described the local culture, plants, and Mayan history in detail. The cave itself was incredible. It really felt like such a special place to visit and experience. It was so unique and I had a blast swimming through parts of the cave. The lunch food was delicious and I appreciated all the work they put into it.

Caving into Mayan history - This was my favorite experience in Belize. It was adventure and intrigue, history and learning. Overall, exhilarating and magical. You go hiking, swimming, and weave through a cave's passages. Our guide, Fernando was outstanding. He knew so much information about the history of the cave and the Mayan people who used it for rituals. Every place we stopped along the way, he would tell us the connecting story. His passion for this place and its history was evident. I absolutely loved this adventure.
