Because of heavy rains we had to do tubes instead of kayaks but we had a great time. Abner was a great guide. Abner was very informative. This IS NOT an excursion for those who have any physical limitations Lunch was good.

We were originally nervous about the hour drive one way, but our guides were so informative about the history and culture of Belize, it immediately made us more comfortable. The hike through the forest was interesting, and it was fun going through the caves in the kayaks. My son (14), husband (44), and daughter (19) all took turns jumping off the big rock during our swim break. The water was cool, but very refreshing. We got back to the cruise port with plenty of time for a little shopping and the tender boat back to our ship. I recommend this excursion to anyone that is an adventure seeker.

I really wanted to enjoy this excursion but it was to physically demanding for us old people. Add in the fact the kayaks were on the small size so we had a difficult time NOT tipping over every other turn made this experience exhausting mentally as well as physically. We are 48and 55, 200 lbs and 260lbs. Maybe that was the problem as to why we were always so slow. We paddled like crazy with little results. The food you eat afterwards was ok. Our guides tried very hard to teach us about the rainforest and they were nice. We weren’t prepared for how cold the water was or how difficult the kayaking actually was. We usually use our own kayaks so sharing caused some unpleasant arguments.

Would go on the same excursion again when back in Belize with the same company. The kayaks were SO much better than the tubes. You got to go in additional caves that could not be reached with the tubes because they were upstream. Great company. NOTE: You must bring CASH ONLY to pay for the balance of the excursion!!!!

Combined two things I like doing into one activity. It's far better than Cave tubing as you have the freedom to move about instead of being lumped together, and you get to go through way more caves. Guides were great

It was organized. I had some fears of 'how to' find the driver etc. There are people with signs and we were directed to the correct driver/van. On the way to the park/caves, one of the employees talked about all kinds of facts and stats regarding Belize, population, economy, history, wildlife, ethnic diversity, geography. It was really great! He answered all kinds of questions from the 20 or so of us in the van. When we arrived at the park we split up into groups as some were tubing, ziplining and kayaking. 7 of us went kayaking. We walked through the jungle and our guide, different this time did an excellent job as well. He pointed out wildlife, types of trees/plants, how they were used. I love the forest/jungle and it was really great. We got to the river, got in the kayaks and went up stream through the cave. It was amazing. I could not believe how long/big the cave extended. We took a break upstream and jumped off some rocks into the river, in the cave, where there was some daylight coming through. Then we went down stream back through the cave and into another enormous cave. The water was running just right. Not too dangerous, but my wife and I did flip our kayak in the rapids.

We loved this excursion. The scenery was beautiful, the water was refreshing, clean, and cool. It is helpful to know how to kayak as some of the currents are quick. Rock, Marco, and Fabulous taught us about the Belize culture and Mayan mythology. We would do this again!! If they offer $10 for lunch, buy it - it's so delicious!!

We booked the cave kayaking and it blew our minds! The hour ride to the caves we were given information about Belize by Roka. He was extremely knowledgeable. He was able to answer any question we had without hesitation! It was amazing to learn about Belize! Then on the walk to the cave kayaking abner was our guide. He told us about different types of native trees, plants and animals. He even fished a tarantula out and we were able to hold it. Then once we got to the cave and had the safety briefing we kayaked upstream through a few caves and found a nice spot to swim and take pictures. On the way back downstream we saw bats and waterfalls in the caves. Absolutely the experience of a lifetime!

We were very impressed with our excursion in Belize. Our guide was fun and a very worry-free guy. We arrived at our meeting point late due to an issue with getting off our ship, and then found out that they couldn't accept a card for the rest of the payment. Rather than turning us away, they helped us find an ATM and use the correct conversion from Belize dollars to USD. In the end, they waited nearly an hour after the scheduled departure time (not just for us, there were some other people that had signed up to come that never showed up). They never seemed annoyed or bothered by this. Our guide was very knowledgeable, able to answer all our questions, and very entertaining. Once we arrived at the actual excursion, we enjoyed a beautiful 'hike' (more like a 20 minute nature walk) through the jungle. It was fun crossing through the river, and even taking a few minutes for a quick swim! Once we reached the kayaks, we got to paddle up river through some caves the tubers never get to see. At one point our guide had everyone turn off their lights, allowing us to be immersed in total darkness. We then took a break in a nice cover where you could swim, rock jump, or even just relax by the crystal clear river. From there, we went down stream, seeing more breathtaking views in the other caves. After the last cave, there's about another 15 minutes of a leisurely paddle through the jungle. Due to the fact that we left so much later than planned, we were running a late when it came time to leave. Knowing it was about an hour ride back to port, we were starting to get a little anxious. Again, our guide didn't seem worried about a thing. While some may have found this frustrating, I was impressed that he was able to keep calm, when he clearly knew he was racing the clock. In the end, they got us back before the ship left, so everything worked out. Overall, it was a great excursion! I know it's listed as a moderate for activity level, but paddling up the current really doesn't require much effort (it's not that strong). We loved it, and would love to visit that area again. It was so beautiful, and we highly recommend this excursion to anyone traveling to Belize! We passed several tubers on the way, and were SO THANKFUL we went with the kayaks instead of the passive inner tubes.

worth the wait

Since Belize does not have a port for the cruise ships your party has to wait to be tendered to the shore. Carnival gives priority to those who book carnival excursions so the rest have to meet in a lounge,receive a place in line and wait and wait until your number is called. All of the above has nothing to do with the excursion it is just to let folks know how frustratingly long the process of going ashore was and that the excursion was well worth it. We were well past the meeting time due to the tendering process but someone immediately took us to the awaiting van. There were 14 (7 did the cave tubing) of us. We waited just a short time for the others to arrive and we set off on the hour long ride through Belize City and countryside. The driver was Abner who was also the guide for the kayak trip. Riding shotgun was “Rock” who gave a great explanation/history of the country and city. Very informative and interesting. Upon arrival we were fitted with our gear which consisted of helmet with head lamp and a life jacket. We were told what to bring and what not to bring. Everything else was left securely locked in the van. The hike to the site (put-in) was about 30 minutes. It was beautiful. We hiked through jungle and crossed 3 streams. That was well worth the wait itself. Forgot to say we were given a paddle which we carried on the hike We chose our kayaks and began paddling upstream through the caves. Abner told us to wait at one point and he paddled over to a smaller part of the cave, laid flat on his kayak and disappeared into a small cave. The next thing we knew fruit bats came out of the small cave. That was very cool. I can’t think of any place else we would have the opportunity to do this. After that he told us to turn off the head lamps and experience total darkness. Then he said to keep them off and try to find our way back. It was hilarious. You could hear kayaks crashing into each other and the sides of the cave. Of course that was only for fun. We stopped briefly and jumped off rocks and swam and then kayaked back. Since the initial trip took us upstream we then encounter the groups who were cave tubing. It got a little crowded at that point whereas before we were alone as a group. There were some shallow parts and some of us got stuck but another fellow named “Cello” was there to rescue us. He was also part of the company. He, like Abner and Rock were so kind and helpful. The facilities were clean and nice and there were places to purchase drinks and snacks. We were worried we wouldn’t make it back in time for the last tender (water taxi) but Abner said to leave the worry to him. We made it with time to spare. In summary, this excursion is well worth the wait to get on shore. The guides were terrific and the scenery was wonderful.

This was one of my all time favorite excursions! My husband and I are in our 50's and cruise often. This was our second time in Belize and we had a blast. Our guide, Abner, was phenomenal. He was very engaging and obviously was very proud of his country. The ride to the river camp was about an hour, but Abner had lots of information to share on the way. The hike to the river was about 35 minutes, but was an easy walk. Our group got to taste termites (tasted like a celery seed) and hold a tarantula (hubby chickened out), and explore a cave. The kayaks were waiting for us when we got to the launch point. The caves were beautiful and exploring them by kayak instead of on a tube definitely seemed more fun to us. Make sure you wear rubber soled water shoes, the rocks are slippery.

Spelunking in a kayak was great fun for our party of 6. We joined a small group of additional tourists with our headlamps and 2 expert guides. We had the choice of single or double kayaks, and had a brief lesson on managing the kayaks before starting off. Our tour started at the crowded drop-off point, though we quickly paddled our way though to some private areas and caves, and stopped for a break where one of the caves had a landing point and a small place to get out and explore. At one point we stopped paddling, turned off our lights and sat for a brief moment silently in pitch black. Super cool. Our tour guides and bus driver treated us well and we enjoyed time to converse with them during the bus ride to and from the river. At the river stop is a bathroom and small snack/gift shops. Our guide also offered to run over to a little "restaurant" at the river and purchase (for our money) traditional chicken and rice lunch for those who wanted to eat on the way back to the ship. Our transport to and from the trip was reliable, on time, and easy to locate. On our way back to the ship, the driver noticed a load of tourists from our ship who were stopped on the side of the road with car trouble, and stopped to pick them all up to get back to the ship in time. Nice people, great experience.

We also made it back in time to the cruise ship and want to recommend this excursion. We had no experience with kayaking before and topped over once. Nonetheless it was lots of fun, but be aware that this may really happen to you and be sure that you can cope with getting yourself up again from under the kayak. We could leave our things in the van during the kayak tour. Unfortunately I missed a small power bank afterwards; perhaps it slipped out of my bag. Make sure to check your things better than me before leaving the van in the end! When we asked for the promised free WIFI within the van, our driver was very puzzled and told us that he never heard of any vehicle in Belize offering WIFI... This false promise should be eliminated out of the description!!!

Had an hour plus drive through the City into the country and got a good history and information about the country from our guides Cardinal and Abner. Got the place and jumped in Kayaks and went opposite direction of tubers, up river, on our own private adventure, 5 Kayaks total. Clear, cool cave waters where we stopped and swam at some beaches both inside caves and outside caves. Nice little nature hike to the River with guide and got to taste some mint and carrot flavored termites and little coconut type nuts from local trees. Had a nice meal and a little shopping after the kayaking before heading back to the ship. For what you generally pay for excursions, this is quite the bargain.

The guides were superb and incredible fun to be with - full of life, energy and excitement, even though they do this every time. They go out of their way to make sure you have a super fun time. Easy to meet at the Belize port, but leave an hour to get off your ship to get to port since it's a tender port. Someone will be waiting (for you and the) hour's drive which is filled with information on Belize so it goes by quickly. Be sure you go in your swimming costume and carry only things that you are ok with getting wet. Rest of your stuff (towels, etc) can be left in the van - it's safe. Since there's a 20-30 min hike to the canoes (one way only - you don't have this on the way back), be sure to wear swim shoes or crocks (again whatever you are ok with getting wet). They do rent used shoes for $3 each, but better off taking your own. The caves and bats are interesting, but it does go on for a while and you do get tired. Most of the kayaks are double passenger, with 1 that's a single. Overall a unique experience, but once you've seen a couple of caves and the bats, you're done and ready to get back. Lunch is served just before the return journey and for us, was tandoori chicken, rice and a mango drink - different and tasty after all the kayaking. There are showers to wash off feet - make sure you take your towel to dry off otherwise you'll be sitting in a wet seat for an hour back to port and then another 30-60 minutes back to the cruise ship. If you want to just sit back and watch, stick with cave tubing - much slower and less strenuous, but also less involved.

I was a little hesitant to book this, at the time of booking there was only 1 review but I am so thankful I took a chance. Best time ever. Rock our tour guide was very informative and funny. He was very polite and patient with my 8 year old who asked 101 questions. He did so well with him, even joked and said he was a future tour guide...now thats what my son says he wants to be! Lol i love it! After a short but beautiful hike thru the jungle you jump in the kayaks (already there waiting for you) same place the cave tubers put in but instead of going downstream you go up stream to some of those most beautiful caves ever. They take you to a underground waterfall and then head back down stream. Lunch was in the van bc we were cutting it close to the time to board, but they made sure to get us back. When you get to the meeting spot to board the van before the trip, walk a lil ways down the side walk and take a picture with the big rainbow belize sign. There wasnt wifi on the van like it said, but it was kinda nice cause i paid attention to the tour guide. Once i got back on the cruise ship, i heard so many people complain about the cavetubing, saying it was short and boring. Kayaking was the best decision i made.

We had so much fun on this excursion. To start off, we walked out of the pier and they were right there waiting for us holding a sign. They then walked us to the van they would be taking us in. There was a total of 9 of us in the van with four staff members. The ride to the caves took about an hour but the tour guide talked the whole way about the island. When we arrived two of the tour guides took the kayaks up stream so we didn't have to carry them. We then hiked up the path to the caves where he continued to show us more plants and animals. The hike took about 30-45 minutes. There are five caves in total and we started at the third cave and paddled upstream to the fifth cave. We got to get out of the kayaks a couple times and explore some of the small caves. If you are trying to decide tubing and kayaking, defiantly go with kayaking! You get to go two more cave systems than the tubers and spend more time in the caves. Also, do not book with the cruise ship. First of all they do not offer kayaking but their tuber groups were 20 people long and paid a whole lot more for a lot less! The will make sue you get back to ship in time don't let the cruise ship convince you they won't!

Kayaking the caves was definitely a worth-while experience! The meeting guide was at the port exit gate earlier than the posted time, which is a good thing because we needed every extra minute to make it back to port in time (there was traffic on the way back)! I've been on a tour to the Belize cave area before on a large bus, and you have to wait for everyone. This tour operator, took my wife and I who were kayaking, and 6 others from the ship who were tubing, in a van to the cave area. They kept us entertained on the 45-60 minute ride. When we got to the site, we geared up and the two guides Nelson and Roc, took us on a 30-45 minute easy hike to the launch site. The hike was actually relatively easy, and very fun and informative. They told us about many trees, plants, and animals/insects as we passed each. Nelson found us a tarantula to hold, and stuck his arm in a termite mound so we could TASTE one! (they taste like mint!). Along the hike we crossed the river three times - it was cool but felt VERY good! One awesome thing is that we did not have to carry our tubes or kayaks. They had them ready at the launch site. As we were hiking leisurely stopping to see different things, many groups from other tour operators passed us in a hurry - they were carrying their own tubes! My wife and I were the only ones that day kayaking (in any group!), so we had Nelson all to ourselves on the kayak trip (which is a lot longer and much more active than the tube trip). The kayak trip goes deeper into the caves, at a faster pace. Nelson showed us many details of the cave walls and ceilings, and even a waterfall area. After kayaking, lunch was provided (BBQ chicken, rice and slaw). You don't have to be an experienced kayaker (I am not but I have done it a couple times so I know how to steer, stop, turn and can paddle decent enough), but if you have never kayaked before, you might not want to do this as it might be difficult to keep up, especially in some of the skinnier sections of the cave.

This was an awesome tour! My husband and I chose this activity for our day in Belize while on a cruise. There were no reviews when my husband and I did this excursion so I feel compelled to write one. This was a very fun tour especially since we own kayaks and enjoy the activity. We had a nice hour or so drive before the walk to the river. Our guide, Nelson, was very knowledgeable and fun and we learned a lot about the region and country. We learned more on the walk to the river and Nelson make it especially enjoyable. There were many tube tours which take the same river but with the kayak tour you go through 2 or 3 caves that the tubers don't see as you first kayak upstream through these. If you want a lazy trip through the caves the tubing tour is for you but if you want to see quite a bit more and get some exercise this is your trip. If the weather is cold the tubing may not be as fun either. After the kayaking there was also a meal with local food. This would be fun for families as they have both single and double kayaks. I'm 60 and love some adventure at new places so this was perfect for me. Bring water shoes as flip-flops won't work or you can buy them there for a nominal fee. I wore tennis shoes and they worked fine too.
