Very special experience with a great guide!!

Our guide Rudy was so kind and knowledgeable, he had the most soothing voice while sharing stories about the cave. Inside the cave was peaceful and beautiful, not to mention really cool temperature wise. A nice retreat from the May heat and humidity. We were the only canoe in the cave this afternoon vs. 20 in the morning we were told. It felt very special. 5 stars for Rudy and this experience!!

Perfect day!

We had a wonderful time with Rommel! He was a great guide. The canoe in the cave was interesting, the lunch was tasty and we enjoyed a beautiful swim and scenery at Big Rock afterwards.

Something you must do while in San Ignacio

I would give this trip 6 stars, if I could! Rommel was a fantastic guide in every sense. Very professional, knowledgeable, and funny. The cave canoeing was outstanding. Impossible to put into words the experience and something you need to simply experience yourself! In addition, the traditional Belizean lunch they served was phenomenal! Food was so good and we want to send much love to the cooks who prepared it.

Nice half day tour of the caves. Informative. Not physically strenuous as only one person paddles for the canoe.

This tour was a very fun and relaxing experience. Our tour guide Rommel was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The cave is amazing and beautiful. If you are looking for a slow paced, easy activity, I highly recommend this excursion.

Paddling though a cave

Great experience if you like stalactites, and other showy rock formations. Paddling through a cave with headlamps was fun.

Beautiful cave and a bit eerie!

The cave is beautiful, the history interesting. It was indeed moving to be there and think of the Mayan people who populated the area so long ago and lived and died in that beautiful and slightly eerie place. Family trip and we were a bit awe struck.
