Caves River Kayaking, Ontdek meer met V.i.V.
Beschrijving
al duizenden jaren gebruikten onze voorouders het grottenstelsel om te wonen, heilige ceremonies uit te voeren en voedsel op te slaan. ga met ons mee op deze reis naar de onderwereld. wij bieden de koplampen, helmen, reddingsvesten, kajaks en een ervaren gids. Geheel op elkaar afgestemd, leidden de gidsen je door een bospad dat lokaal gebruik van de planten langs het bospad deelt. bij de ingang van de grotten deelt de gids informatie over de indeling van de zeven grotten, de kennismaking met de kajakuitrusting en de kajakroute. hier zie je geweldige grote grotingangen met een kristalheldere rivier die er doorheen stroomt. terwijl je peddelt, ga je door een reeks grotten, zie je veel formaties. de gids toont plaatsen om te stoppen en te rusten en te genieten van een verfrissende duik. het peddelen gaat verder door de grotten tot je bij de uitgang komt waar het zonlicht op het water glinstert en de vogels op de oever van de rivier hoorbaar zijn. hier slaan we onze spullen op, maken gebruik van de voorzieningen en bereiden ons voor op de terugreis naar huis.

DO IT DO IT DO IT! Kayak was AWESOME! Fun/Funny Guide. We drove a rental car to the place and met the guide inside the park.
My boyfriend and I booked this excursion for one of our stops on a cruise. The price is so much better when you avoid booking with the cruise line. Plus the meeting location was very straightforward that you couldn’t miss it. Our tour guides NAZ, JONATHAN, and CARDINAL were lovely people and very knowledgeable. They made us laugh a ton and had such a friendly vibe. They had a lot to say about Belize, its people, the caves, and more! All while keeping a safe environment while we enjoyed the caves. I would highly recommend these three crew members in particular! The trip to the caves is on foot, so bring waterproof shoes with a bit of grip if possible. The walk wasn’t too far to the entrance of the caves where the kayaks were waiting for us. The entrance to the caves was gorgeous and could’ve stayed there for hours. The first cave was super peaceful since it was just our group in there. That was the most fun I had while kayaking! The second cave was really fun because parts had a mild current, so you barely had to row. However the second cave also had tubing groups, so parts were difficult and annoying to navigate around them. Either way it was still a very fun experience to be in that cave! Book with VIV and book with this crew!
Naz, Johnattan & cardinal were wonderful host very informative. The banter from the three and insight on the cave was amazing would recommend to anyone to book with those three.
Very knowledgeable crew. The kayaking in the caves was quite an experience, will recommend this to anyone
We came from a Carnival Cruise. Our water shuttles were late and we were on the second shuttle of 12+ we arrived 10 minutes late to the meeting point and called and she said she left us but would come back. 35 minutes later a lady shows up and tells us we missed it and there’s no way to do the tour, told us even if we found our own way to meet them at the river, we couldn’t do it because it’s a big group but told us she’d refund our money since we did show up. We ended up finding another guy that took us on a private tour on the same river and charged us less. Not only was there plenty of time to do the river he also took us to a mall. Now I tried to get a refund and they denied it! This was the worst experience of our entire vacation! No flexibility for things out of your control or even attempt to be understanding to the cruise travelers that are buying their excursions.
Thanks for the review, yes you missed your scheduled tour which is longer than the abbreviated tour you eventually did, everyone else arrived from the Cruiseline ontime and did the regular kayak cave tour which is more caves than tubing, we remind guest, reserve online, the tour starts and hour and fifteen minutes after the ship arrives in port, everyone that is interested comes ashore early and checkin, the tenders to shore have doubled there capacity and bring guest ashore within the first hour, then they slow down and bring those who may want to come ashore to walk around, dont miss your tour, others arrive ontime onshore and ready to tour. reserve early, come ashore, text, whattsup, email if there is any changes, these individuals refused to communicate. thanks for your consideration and tour the Caves of Belize with us as thousands of cruisers have done over the past 20 years, see you soon.
It was an amazing trip, the tour guys Naz, Cardinal and Abner were personable, well knowledgeable in the history and culture, and made is so much fun! They took their time not rushing the tour and made it an amazing experience! Definitely will go again when visiting!!

Waited for us at the port. In the ride to the caves they gave great talks with pictures of animals, plant, fruit, and maps. The hike was very nice. The cave where great and made even better with the guide.
Thanks for the review, we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour, thanks for choosing us.
Almost wasn't a tour! Got on our cruise and we were thr only ones booked. Day before they informed me another group booked. So happy they did, was the best excursion yet! 4 of us and our guide paddling Up river to see what the tubers never will! It was an awesome experience! Yes I said UP river, but its nothing. If you can paddle a canoe, you can do this! I did all the work while my other half held the camera! Beware the mosquitoes!
Family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed this day long journey. Shared bus ride about an hour each way with about 20 people and 3 guides. At park, our family with Fab who was extremely knowledgeable and kind. Initial hike about a mile, fairly level and easy, crossing river a few times. Beautiful jungle. Kayak equipment in good shape. First went up river through caves to magical spot where opening to beautiful jungle and stone walls… felt like movie scene but completely natural. Two in our party not comfortable in kayaks so when returned to starting point, they decided to walk back. Three of us continued on and thoroughly enjoyed the little rapids and further exploration of caves. Waterfalls, stalagmites, and tubers in this portion. The hikers made it back about the same time as we did. Chicken and rice/ bean lunch was additional but good. We had to rent water shoes, missed that in the fine print but they were just $3 per pair. Fab was perfect guide and very patient with a grumpy teenager, my old lady knees, and husband who wasn’t comfortable in kayak, accommodating us at every juncture.
The pick up outside of the port was very easy and efficient. It takes about an hour to get to the actual cave spot by bus, and the tour guides kept us informed and entertained during the entire trip (with some downtime to relax on the bus ride back). The kayaking was great, except for all of the other tubing excursions that were going on at the same time, making some spots very crowded. The guides were informative and entertaining, we could not have asked for a better trip.
