We absolutely loved this excursion from our cruise ship in Belize. We had Wilton as our guide and he did an amazing job of explaining Belize’s history. If we were to do this again we’d definitely choose him as our guide.
Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable! We were so surprised that not only was he our transportation to the caves, but he was also our cayaking guide through the caves. The caves were our favorite part! So cool! Lunch at the local national park restaurant was also SO good!!! Love the food in Belize. Great experience all around. Highly recommend.
The trip was very good with one suggestion. You should never pair people up with cruise ship people as we were on their time schedule to be back to boat which did not allow us to have the Belize lunch and instead we had the option to eat in the van on way back to dock. That was a disappointment. In future keep cruise ship people separate from personal bookings
thanks for the advise. will do.
Barry was an amazing tour guide. He made us feel as if we were long friends from the beginning. We flew in 2 hours early and he offered to pick us up early and take us to a breakfast cafe and tour the city. He was very knowledgeable of the culture and surrounding area as we drove, hiked, and kayaked.
The tour started with them picking us up at the water taxi in a 15 pgnr Van. AC was good but not great. We then were asked to chose which one of the tours we did first. We picked the zipline followed by the tubing. The tubing place has changing, storage, showers, food, drinks, and gifts to buy. We picked the perfect day bc there were no cruise ship people. It was very relaxing our guide Jeremy pull us the whole way and talked about the area around us. We did bring a water speaker for Bluetooth. We then paid for our lunch which was great too
Marco Polo was our guide and he was a wealth of information and full of hospitality from the time that we met him. He treated us like family and made sure that we were comfortable with everything every step of the way. His in depth knowledge of the city made the history geeks in us fill with joy and his calm but adventurous side put away any initial hesitancies that we brought with us to the trip. If you have not done cave tubing, I would recommend doing it with this company and request for Marco! Two thumbs up!
Pluses: Abner our tour guide/driver was excellent! He was full of knowledge about the culture of the Maya and Belizean people. The actual kayaking in the caves was awesome. Zip lining was zippy and the guides for that, Manuel and Kelvin were great! Minuses: The AC wasn't great in the van and the ride is an hour. There is hiking involved in both activities. It is not a flat trek for either. The cave kayaking required 3 water crossings prior to the actual activity and one crossing was chest high. Bring extra clothing or your trip back will be very uncomfortable. We also missed the 4:30 water taxi due to a flat tire. It's a really long day, but we really enjoyed the zipline and kayaking very much.
Cool tour but expect to GET WET, whether you tube or Kayak. Bring water shoes or crocs and change of clothes. The caves were nice, some hiking involved through THREE river passes. One up to your chest. Zip lining was a BLAST, they were fun and laid back, but kept us safe. Be prepared to have a FULL day of travel.
It is difficult to review this. If I was staying on the mainland, I would recommend it highly. The guides were professional, well informed and helpful. But it is not worth going there from San Pedro for a day trip. It’s 1 1/2 hours on the ferry, an hour in a van, a 30 minute hike through the jungle just to get to the caves. Then it’s about two hours kayaking. There was no food or water. Then you have an hour in the van and an hour and a half on the ferry back. It was a 13 hour very strenuous day. Also, whatever price they quote you for the excursion, you have to add $50 each for the ferry round-trip. I would recommend spending five days in San Pedro and then staying for two days on the mainland to do the Mayan ruins and the caving. Not running back-and-forth.
update: thanks for the review, we now take care of the logistics from meeting you at the hotel on San Pedro Ambergris caye, all the transfers, tour, and return. and yes if possible, stay a few days on the mainland and do this tour. thanks
We absolutely loved this excursion!! The trip was well organized, the guide was wonderful and the cave kayaking was an amazing experience. So glad we picked this over tubing. We got to see much more in the kayak. The day we were originally planning to go the cave was flooded. They let us know early enough that it was not a problem and were able to reschedule. Would recommend scheduling this early in your vacation, so you have time to reschedule if needed.
Absolutely!!! thanks for review, yeah, if youre spending multiple days on the island, reserve the tour early on youre schedule and if there are any changes necessary due to weather events, we will rescheule to a more appropriate time for everyone to get the opportunity to enjoy this unbelizeable experience. Thanks for choosing us, from the V.i.V. crew.
