Pack a dry bag
Bring a small dry bag for phone, wallet and sunscreen—tubes and transfers are wet by design.

Conservation Note
Tours operate under local guidelines to protect fragile cave formations—avoid touching speleothems, pack out waste, and use reef‑safe sunscreen to reduce ecological impact.
Belize’s caves developed in karst limestone and were significant to the Maya as ritual places where they left offerings and pottery; many cave systems today contain archaeological traces.
