Crystal Cave Tubing & Rainforest Ziplines from Ambergris Caye — Full-Day Adventure

The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure, closed shoes
Gravel paths and wet cave floors require strapped sneakers with good tread; no flip-flops allowed.
Bring a waterproof camera or dry bag
You’ll be in tubes and pools—protect electronics and ID in a dry bag or use a waterproof housing.
Hydrate before and after
The day is long (about 11 hours including transfers); carry a refillable bottle and drink frequently.
Use a strap for glasses and cameras
Helmet-mounted lights and river currents can dislodge eyewear—secure items to avoid loss in pools.
