We had wonderful experience we had on our recent tour. Our guide, Pablo, was truly amazing and provided us with a wealth of knowledge regarding the land and culture of Belize. We felt very fortunate to have started our excursion early, as we practically had the cave and river to ourselves. The entire experience was both educational and entertaining, making for a very memorable day. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Pablo for his hard work, hospitality, and for sharing his extensive expertise with us. It was a truly special experience!

Our family had an amazing time tubing at Jaguar Paw. Chris from Captain Jaks was a wonderful guide and full of knowledge about the area. From the beautiful hike, tubing the river, to exploring the cave, this experience was fantastic from beginning to end.
It was a great experience! Staff was great excursion was enjoyable.
We had a wonderful experience from start to finish for my wife and I! We were picked up at our hotel by our guide Chris B. and he did a wonderful job explaining sites in the area on our way to Jaguar Paw site. He highlighted many things on the short hike to the cave and provided great info once in the cave. The tubing was fun, we were able to get out and see more interesting sites within the cave before tubing out of the cave and down the River. It was a fascinating experience - Chris was the best!
Cave tubing with Chris from Captain Jaks was great! He is so knowledgeable of the caves, all surroundings, birds, history. Highly recommend, great experience!
Chris, with Captain Jak's, guided us on a fantastic adventure through the cave. He has enthusiastic and helpful in every way.
Wonderful tour, knowledgeable staff.
Our guide Chris was chock full of information about the history and current state of affairs in Brazil. He gave us a great grounding on the ride to Jaguar Cave and then we had a tremendous experience at the cave. Truly unforgettable time. Our guide Chris knew so many extra details about the caves and their history and the wildlife and landscape. It made for more than an adventure. You can do cheaper tours but you will not get the same full experience. Bonus: lunch was included and we didn't have to hike in carrying our tubes.
We had a fantastic experience cave tubing at Jaguar Paw! It was interesting and fun from start to end. It starts with a beautiful walk through the rain forest where you cross the river a few times, then you hop on tubes and head into the cave. In the cave we had the opportunity to explore on and off the tube and swam into little rooms within the cave. It was beautiful. Our guide Chris was outstanding! We learned so much and had a wonderful time.
Our group of 12 loved our cave tubing trip. We were picked up from our villa and taken to the caves by our guide Pablo. He was entertaining and informative. The float in and out of the cave was majestic. We loved the additional cave exploration in and out of the water with some cliff jumping in the cave.
