The Experience

Before You Go

Start Early and Hydrate

Departures begin 8:00–8:30 a.m.; bring a filled water bottle and sip regularly—the heat and activity add up fast.

Footwear for Three Worlds

Wear sturdy walking shoes for the ATV, water shoes for cave tubing, and keep a dry pair to change into at the end.

Expect Mud and Wear Accordingly

ATV sections are intentionally muddy—choose clothes you don’t mind ruining and pack a dry change.

Bring a Waterproof Dry Bag

Protect your phone and wallet during cave tubing; operators often offer limited waterproofing but personal protection is safer.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Side trails near the canopy platforms often reveal unique bird perches where toucans feed in the morning.
  • Look for small stalactite formations near quieter cave chambers away from main tubing lines.

Wildlife

  • Keel-billed toucan
  • Howler monkey

Conservation Note

Operators increasingly follow low-impact practices—stay on designated trails, avoid touching cave formations, and pack out waste to protect fragile karst and forest ecosystems.

The limestone caves reflect the same karst landscape the Maya navigated; many cave systems in Belize were historically significant for ritual and water sources.
