Actun Tunichil Muknal

This remote cave is filled with relics left over from the Mayans.

Reviewed By 143trishc

My family and I visited Actun Tunichil Muknal June of 2019. This is not like a cave in the US where tourists visit. YOu must hike, cross rivers, swim across the pool at the entrance of the cave, wade up streams, squeeze through tight passages, climb rocks in you socks and up a ladder to reach the crystal maiden. Worth every second! It is so beautiful, amazing and tragic too. I am grateful for the experience, it was truly a trip of a lifetime.

Reviewed By Monikaswiss - Thalwil, Switzerland

I lived at Che Chem ha Logde.So my first tour was visiting the cave on the property of the family with William as a very good tour-guide.He has a big knowledge about mayan people living in this beautiful cave.There are many pottery to see, some broken and some in a astonishing good state. Hiking up to the entrance is easy.And after going down we had a excellent lunch at the lodge. A good trip with meeting very friendly people.

Crystal Cave

Reviewed By diadelatierra - Springfield, United States

We had an excellent tour of Crystal Cave with Israel from Wildland Belize. He was an exceptional tour guide-- we learned so much and he pointed out all the Mayan artifacts and unique cave formations throughout our tour! It's a challenging hike through the cave but if you have good fitness it's worth it!

Jaguar Paw Cave Tubing and Jungle Zipline

From Cave Tubing on Caves Branch River system or Crystal Caves - Rock Climbing and Repelling - Zip Lining through the Jungle Canopy, and so much more. Our newest addition is the Jungle Tumble In New Zealand where it was invented they call it ZORBING. It is the sport of rolling downhill inside a large 11 foot (3.5 meter) inflatable Ball.

We took a wonderful Cave Tubing trip on our visit this month to Beliez. We rented a car and drove from Belmopan on the Western Hwy to Caves Branch River. We paid a small entrance fee to park then walked around the central area to find a guide. Lucky for us we found a great guide, Fernando. He was experienced, reasonable and promised us an indepth, leisurely  through three caves--- and certainly delivered!  Fernando was knowledgeable about the caves, the Mayan history, rainforest plants, birds and trees. Instead of a short 90 minute trip, which is the norm, he guided us for 4 hours! While there we saw several other tours racing through only one cave.  Fernando was careful, kind and had a great sense of humor. We highly recommend you ask for him. Maybe you can email him to set up a day to meet at Planning for the tour you will need water shoes. Not flip flops because you will climb on rocks when exploring the cave outside f the Tube, intermittently throughout the tour. We used reef walkers and took some water bottles in Fernando's dry bag. You  will get wet---and want to get wet! So bring a dry set of shorts.

Rio Frio Cave

This cave is located in a beautiful part of Belize and features Mayan relics and a 65-foot tall opening.

Reviewed By AndreaN00 - Vancouver, Canada

The road to the cave is another very bumpy and narrow one, but the drive is not very long and the cave only a few meters from where you park. This is an easily accessible, big cave and as you walk inside, you can even see the other end of it. Pretty spectacular and makes for very nice pictures! Excellent stop on the way back from Caracol or a day in Pine Ridge Forest.
