- Nohoch Che’en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve - Travel 37 miles along the Western Highway to reach the Caves Branch River, which meanders through the Maya Mountains and a series of ancient caves that were once home to the Maya people. Upon arrival, you’ll be equipped with tubes, headlights, and protective gear before trekking through the tropical forest to the cave system’s entry point.\n\nAt the cave’s threshold, your guides will provide a safety orientation for tubing. Then, you’ll embark on your journey through the mystical Maya underworld known as Xibalba. The caves are adorned with complex crystal formations, and the grandeur of stalagmites and stalactites rising and falling creates a tranquil yet grand natural environment. Throughout the adventure, you’ll occasionally bask in the sunlight as you transition from one cave to the next.

Best Tubing - Thank you for a wonderful day of tubing and zip-lining. We all enjoyed the Belize history and culture information on the drive to the river, our guide was excellent. I would recommend this tour group over others, especially the cruise ship's excursion as we had a longer float on the river than those around us, and our guide was such fun! Lunch was great too!

Great people make a great experience - The company was very accommodating, picking us up at our hotel and dropping us off at the ferry terminal for our trip to the island. We were able to bring our luggage along with us. The guide at the caves (Lionel) was great, as well.

fun for all - All ages can enjoy this excursion. You will walk to the cave and sit in an large tube that is tied with 8 others and pulled by the guide through the cave and down the river for about 1 1/2 hours. Caves have amazing formations. Afterward, there is a good lunch of chicken, rice, beans and drink.

A must see - The tour was everything. On our way to the cave the drive gave us a brief history about Belize and pointed out a few places of importance. My friends were also able to upgrade their tour to include zip lining. The small hike to the cave was manageable he sites in the cave is out of this world. God's creation is indeed beautiful. The ride along the river is quite relaxing. I even fell asleep at some points ..My only worry was making it back to the tender in time as we met traffic on our way back. However this tour is highly recommended

Cave & Zipline - Ivar our guide was great very knowledgeable and funny. The bbq chicken was good. Zipline pretty cool too, just be prepared to hike up the hill to get to the 2nd line.
All in all it was a good day. The cave tubing is awesome and relaxing.

The floaters were definitely not as advised - The tour itself was pretty enjoyable.
However, the floaters and helmets in the images are not what was provided. They provided pretty neat up floaters and helmet with lights that could barely light up anything.
Other than that, we had a good time.
