Cave Tubing in Belize with V.i.V.

Nas and Tracy were our guides and did a fantastic job. We had an issue with the time difference but they made sure we got to our ship in time to leave. This is the third time I have been to Belize and done an excursion with cave tubing and it has always been a fantastic time. We have brought friends and family each time and they have loved it just as much as we did. Swimming in the water while our tour guides set our tubes was relaxing and refreshing. The next time I’m in Belieze on a cruise, I will be back to do this excursion again.

The tubing was fun. Our guide, “C” was very knowledgeable about the trees, flora and fauna and inside the cave he took his time to point out the different features of the cave, water levels and a special water fall! The walk in is about 20 minutes on some low rocky inclines which I managed well after a knee surgery 2 1/2 months ago. Wearing a good pair of water shoes helps. We appreciated the change rooms with showers afterwards and the lunch of chicken rice and beans and potato salad was quite tasty . There were 2 problems 1. We booked the 8 am tour . Once we met the tour operator host for ViV tours we waited an hour. They had cancelled the 8 am departure without notifying us. We waited around another hour before we boarded a van. They should have notified us because being an hour later starting made a difference to the end of our tour before our Princess ship sailed. 2. Our problem which could have been huge was, our van broke down on our way back to the cruise port. Luckily had we were close and another van was sent for us within 10-15 minutes. We made it by 2 minutes! We have used Viator numerous times and different countries , this was the first time for the tour operator dropping the ball

NAZ was an amazing tour guide. We had a lot of fun and his knowledge was second to none. Everyone was friendly at lunch and is worth the trip.

The cave tubing tour was Naz was a lot of fun! He had so much knowledge about Belize so we learned alot of history on the way to the caves as well. We even had opporunities to explore deeper in the caves (at that point we were tired lol). Naz as a guide provided a fun experience, joked with us, and made us feel welcomed. 10/10 recommend.

I've done around 50 shore excursions over the last 25 years, and this one easily lands in my top three of all time. To make things interesting, the weather wasn't cooperating, and the ship's tenders got us to shore about 50 minutes late. I was worried we'd miss the tour, but they waited for us... and it turns out there were six other delayed passengers too. That level of customer service set the tone right away. Finding them at the port was incredibly easy. They were standing right in the middle with a big sign, practically impossible to miss. If you've ever done independent excursions before, you know that isn't always the case. Sometimes you're playing a real-life game of "Where's Waldo?" while checking text messages and hoping you're in the right spot. Not here. I'll admit, I was a little nervous about spending 90 minutes floating through a cave on an inner tube. The thought of being underground for that long sounded a bit intimidating. Thanks to our guide, that nervousness lasted maybe three minutes. The remaining 87 minutes were nothing but fun. The cave itself was incredible, and the small-group atmosphere made it feel like a private tour with lots of one-on-one interaction. After the tubing adventure, they provided a nice lunch at no extra cost, which was a great touch. One thing to know: if you're visiting this port and want to do something truly memorable, expect about an hour drive in a van. The ride was perfectly fine, although the van may have been auditioning for a role as a bouncing castle and could probably use some new shocks. Most importantly, every concern I had about booking with an independent operator instead of a cruise-line excursion was completely debunked. The organization, communication, service, and experience were all outstanding. I would absolutely book with this company again and would be thrilled to get Abner (sp?) as our driver and guide. He did a fantastic job and was a huge part of what made this excursion so memorable. Bottom line: If you're on the fence about this excursion, stop thinking and book it. It was one of the best shore excursions I've ever done. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was an amazing experience. We learned so much about Belize and the caves were an amazing experience. The ride to the excursion is about an hour so be prepared but other than that, it’s worth every dime.

My husband and I enjoyed this adventurous tour. Our tour guide, Fab, was funny, knowledgeable and made the tour fun.

We had an awesome experience on our cave tubing excursion. We came on a cruise ship and the guides met us promptly at the meeting point. They were very well organized.! Our guides Naz , Cardinal, Fab were incredible. They provided us a lot of information about the culture and life in Belize on the ride to and from the caves. On the short 15 minute easy walk to the caves they showed us a lot of the local flora and fauna! It was very cool! They were super knowledgeable and worked hard to make our tubing experience awesome. The caves were nothing short of magnificent. Highly recommend these guides and this tour!

This company met us right outside the port. We took a comfortable minibus with A/C and drove 60 minutes to the location. We received our life jackets and hard hats and walked for about 30 minutes through the forest, which was beautiful, to the cave. Wear sandals or Crocs, not flip-flops. You have to traverse a shallow river to get to the cave. The water is somewhat fast but there is a rope across the river you hold onto. The tubes at the cave were very comfortable. They had mesh bottoms and headrests. They were tethered together so you didn’t have to do any steering – the guide did everything. The cave was beautiful and it was very relaxing. At the end we got out and swam in the river which was refreshing. We had a great time. They had bathrooms, showers, and changing rooms at the location for those who wanted to change out of their wet clothes. Then it was an hour drive back to the port. Overall, we enjoyed the tour and loved the caves, although they were a bit far away from the port.

It was amazing! The tour guides, Kadeem, Abner and Nas, were amazing. Kadeem was a wealth of information and Nas provided great instructions on next steps. The tour itself was just beautiful.
