About this experience
Our cave tubing tour takes you through caves as you frolic downstream through a stunning turquoise river. Your cave-tubing adventure will start with a 20-minute hike as your ford across Caves Branch River.

Once in the water, be prepared to see the many exotic cave formations that are part of this unique experience.

Itinerary and highlights
Join us as we take you on a spectacular cave tubing for a fun filled day. We begin with a complimentary pick up in the San Ignacio area before driving one hour to Jaguar Paw cave. Once suited up with your headlights and lifejackets, you begin exploring a dry cave as you walk through the rainforest and endless karst formations with many artifacts left behind by the ancient Maya. Your action packed day exploring a cave systems continues with a 30 minute trek through the jungle before getting on to your tubes as you float downstream into the cave system. At the halfway point you will hop off and witness gorgeous cave pools and experience a unique detour further into the cave and 2 hours later you will exit the first cave. You will then get some delicious local food before driving 50 minutes to your hotel. Please note that this might be a shared experience.
