MUST DO!!! Luis and Jose are the BEST. - We had the GREATEST day with Luis and Jose. Luis went out of his way to not make us wait in the morning or late for our flight in the afternoon by giving us a private tour! We loved learning all about the Mayans and climbing the steps on each of the ruins. We then went for a gorgeous walk through the jungle with Jose to get to the cave tubing. We couldn’t believe how gorgeous and wild tubing down the river through the caves. Unreal. We capped off our day with a delicious lunch with Luis and begrudgingly headed to the airport. A truly PERFECT way to spend our first day in Belize. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!! This is a can’t miss experience.

Relaxing day touring ruins and floating the caves. - Luis is extraordinarily knowledgeable about the Mayan temples and Mayan way of life. Additionally he has a great deal of knowledge about Belize, the culture and surrounding wildlife and geography. He's also very chill and easy to spend time with.

Jam packed day of fun - We had a port day in Belize so decided to do something adventurous. Upon following the instructions, we had a hard time locating our driver but with some help, we were able to locate Nelson, our guide and driver for the day. My partner and I noticed that we were the only ones on the tour which we lucked out. Felt like we were VIPs which was nice to avoid large crowds. Nelson was very friendly and knowledgeable about the city of Belize. He was very personable and loves to engage in conversations. Speaks very good English, which is a huge plus. He was also great at dodging large potholes along our drives. Kudos for getting us safely to our destinations. One of the main highlights of this tour was being able to experience cave tubing. A once in a lifetime bucket list that should not be missed! Nelson worked hard swimming and pulling us along the caves. Lunch was provided and it was delicious! I have been getting in contact with Luis and he was very responsive. Definitely will recommend this tour to anyone who visits Belize. It was way cheaper than what the cruise offers. Please support these small tour groups as they’re more personable and less crowds to deal with. Highly recommend Nelson to anyone visiting Belize!

Amazing Belize! - Luis is a phenomenal tour operator. When our cruise ship messed up our departure time, he made sure that we did not miss our Mayan ruins/cave tubing experience. He was funny, articulate and extremely knowledgeable. This was a 5 star experience all the way! Also, Luis went above and beyond to get us back to the terminal before final boarding time. Do not hesitate to book this amazing tour with Cave Tubing Paradise Tours!

Excellent tour - My daughter and I really enjoyed our tour with Abel. He picked us up promptly at the port and our group was only 9 people which made the experience more personal. During the drives to the sites, Abel told us all about the history and culture of Belize. He guided us through Altun Ha before the big crowds arrived, and then took us on a wonderful river trip through the caves. This tour was a highlight of our trip!

Ruins are cool, cave tubing was a trip highlight - The tour guides (Luis and Abel) were so friendly, entertaining, and accommodating. They personally took us through the Mayan ruins which was cool and unexpected. The cave tubing felt like a nice add-on that I didn't think was necessary but I have to say that was one of the best parts about my whole Belize trip. You may never see a place as beautiful as where the caves start, and as unique as inside the caves.
I thought it would feel agonizingly touristy but I promise you it was not. We were one of two groups at the ruins and later the tubing.
Your trip to Belize is incomplete without this tour!

Great experience - We've done quite a few tours. This was one of our favorites! Really fun with a great tour guide. Would highly recommend! Why do these reviews need to be so long TripAdvisor? Makes no sense.
