Well worth it. Fun for the whole family - Tour guide was great knowledgeable he knew the area and history. The cave system was amazing, and the body surfing afterwards a hit.
Lunch was delicious and a complimentary soda was on point

Best Tubing Day! - Standout experience with David! He greeted us with a smile and a sign with our reservation name. He shared facts about town and our upcoming cave adventure as we drove to the site. We stopped for refreshments and snacks at a gas station halfway through the drive. When we arrived at Nohoch Ch’een, the cave site, our guide led us on a less than 1 mile hike to our tubes and the water’s edge of the cave opening. Our group sat, and David swam us into the dark. I won’t spoil it, but we had an amazing experience here! After we exited the cave, we floated along past other tours who had to end their journey there and begin walking back. We continued floating back through to the end, to our shorter walk back. All that adventure makes one hungry, so David drove us to our lunch spot where we were greeted by a complimentary delicious meal, water, and soda. I would absolutely recommend this excursion. David was humorous, informative, and infused his energy into the day.

Best Day Ever! - This tour was recommended to us by friends that had used them before. We spent the day with Antwan, the owners son. He was an extraordinary guide. He was extremely friendly and kept us laughing and talking all day. We felt very safe, he knows the area and knows everyone! We drove out to the caves and he guided us exactly to the river, telling about the rainforest, and all the extras. We didn’t have to carry our tubes on the 15-20 min walk to the river or carry them back, which was really nice!! The float through the cave is about 45 minutes, and he had our floats chained together and guided us expertly through the caves. while talking and telling us all about the structures inside and the history of the cave. We even saw bats! Coming out of the caves, as we floated down the river, our rope snapped! Antwan was a professional, he kept us all together and no one tipped or fell out. He was amazing. He really wanted us to have a great experience and keep us all safe and it showed. On the way back, we stopped for lunch at his parents restaurant and had the most amazing food we have had in a long time. It was neat to meet his family and hear about their culture and country. It will be impossible to beat this excursion on our ten day cruise. We definitely highly recommend this tour!!!

Amazing excursion - BOOK THIS NOW!!! We had the most amazing experience with this company! There were 9 in our group, ranging from teens to adult. We were picked up at the Cruise ship port, taken to our Cave tubing, and then served an amazing lunch. After, we were given a little private tour, they took us to stores and then back to the ship with plenty of time. You would t regret booking this!

Everything we expected, great experience - We had an amazing time cave tubing. Antuane was our guide. He was very patient with us. My 63 year old mother required some assistance and crossing the river and getting into her tube. Antuane was great. We got a tour of the area, learned a lot about the history. Antuane stopped and took pictures at popular spots as we requested Before we went to Nohoch Che’en we stopped at Fu Wi Flavaz and caught our fish that the chef, Melissa prepared for our lunch. The hike was a pleasant but consider your footwear before going. We had on swim shoes and our feet hurt going over the rocks. The cave was nice and cool. Antuane was very knowledgeable and pointed out a lot of formations. There are bats in the cave but they don’t bother you. The waterfalls are cold. It’s really a hassle free experience
The food at Fu Wi Flavaz was AMAZING. Great flavor, plated well, large portions. Melissa is super sweet and helpful.
You won’t regret taking this excursion.

5 star experience! - Antoine (David’s son) was our guide. He had fascinating information about Belize past and present. He wasted no time getting us directly to the cave tubing. So grateful he did, as we were the first ones there and had a private experience in the cave tubing with Antoine in the water guiding us along. It was unique, amazing and beautiful. Afterward, he took us back to his parent’s restaurant for a home cooked lunch. It was delicious, even our picky 9 year old gobbled it down. We couldn’t have asked for a better day, many thanks to Antoine and family for making it unforgettable!

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.
