Cần Quan Tâm
It will take us an hour to drive to the parking lot. Your experienced guide leads your group on an easy 35-minute hike to the cave entrance. Walk along the bank of the Roaring River, which you’ll cross three times before arriving at the cave entrance. To prepare your group for entering the cave, your guide provides a historical overview and a safety briefing. The water passage allows you to splash and play as you wade through the water, which may come up to your ankles, knees, waist, and even neck—sometimes requiring you to swim. At one point, you’ll climb up to a ledge to enter one of the most attractive parts of the cave, where archeologists have recorded more than 1,000 pieces of pottery and 19 human sacrifices. To explore this chamber, you must remove your shoes to protect the natural surroundings, including impressive formations like rock columns, stalactites, stalagmites, citrines, and flowstones. Your guide will share fascinating details about ancient Mayan rituals and ceremonies that once occurred deep under the earth.

5.00Absolutely amazing experience and Miguel was so good with our 8 year old son! He let him hold onto him and guided him but also let him feel independent and accomplished when appropriate. Everyone had a great time! Such a special once in a lifetime experience!

5.00What an amazing experience! The hike through the jungle with the river crossings was a nice lead up to the main attraction. The cave adventure was so much fun for the whole family! The cave itself was beautiful and awe inspiring- definitely the highlight of our trip.

1.00Our trip was unfortunately canceled due to dangerously high water levels after days of rain. This was December .. supposedly dry season. Of course this was no-ones fault ... but was incredibly disappointing. This was supposed to have been the highlight of our trip to San Ignacio . Just be aware that this can happen anytime of the year. Communication with the company was a little erratic, and they had promised to let us know as soon as possible in the morning of the trip whether it would go ahead. However I heard nothing from them and had to reach out to them to find out. They did not help us at all with the refund process and it is taking days to get Trip Advisor to " investigate " the situation.
amazing and interesting day and great tour

5.00My friends and I had such an amazing day at ATM with Mayawalk Tours, particuarly our great guides Francis and Emil. Walking/swimming/wading through the cave was like nothing we had done before. Many parts of the cave were beautiful and we learned so much from Francis about the cave, the Mayan offerings, and history of the Mayans, the cave, and the country. (Emil took another group). Francis told us exactly where to step and what to do to ensure that we got through as easily as possible. Then we had a delicious local lunch made by other members of the team who were so friendly. And on the bus on the way there, Emil shared with us a lot of interesting information about the Belizian people and the country. Definitely take a tour with Mayawalk and ask for Francis and Emil

5.00One of the BEST travel experiences I’ve ever had (I’ve been to 43 countries). I brought my mom who is almost 70 and very active. She was fine (a few rock scrapes) but please make sure you have decent physical skills, especially agility. Hot tips: put dry socks in your helmet, bring a water bottle. Water shoes are fine if they have textured rubber soles. Short sleeve, not long sleeve. Pants if you’re concerned with scraping your legs, otherwise shorts are more comfortable as you’ll be soaking wet the entire time. You get into chest deep water a few minutes into the 45minute hike to the caves. Water bottles are left just outside the cave entrance.
Awesome!

5.00I went on this tour a little apprehensive after reading some posts online. I'm not the most active of people and had just come back from knee injuries a few months prior. With that said, the tour was amazing! I packed a few things for this trip: A pair of socks, dry clothes, some water. Things I should have brought: Dry footwear for the ride back, a little snack for the hike back to keep my energy up, an electrolyte mix. We were picked up from our hotel by our guide Patrick and our driver. He was seemed friendly and funny from the moment we met. As we loaded up into the van his knowledge about his country as well as his work became evident. With all of his attributes I became more comfortable with the fact that the day was going to be uncomfortable. Once we arrived we were given our life jackets and helmets with head head lamps. Then set off on our journey. Shortly after, we arrived at our first river crossing. We had a rope strung across to help us with our stability. After crossing we began our hike/walk through the jungle to to cave. Patrick would stop and explain to us things about the Mayans or the jungle and was always open to our questions. After 2 more river crossings we arrived at the cave entrance. To make it into the cave we had to swim/float for about a minute with the water being refreshingly cool. Then you would get to a point where you had to scramble up a big rock and through a hole. I am not the smallest, most nimble person out there but this was still doable for me. Patrick was there always advising me on the best way to navigate through some of the obstacles. The cave itself was a mixture of moving through water, scrambling over rocks, and movement through some of the archeological sites. The way back was a bit quicker but still full of fun. It was nice to end the time in the cave with wading through the cool water at the entrance. The hike back was uneventful but if you need energy I would bring a quick snack. You will be without water or food in the cave so keep that in mind. Patrick did have an extra source of water with him in his backpack. Back at the parking lot we were greeted with an amazing meal of chicken, rice, plantains, coleslaw, and an ice cold drink. We were able to rinse off and change into dry clothes before the trip back to the hotel. After the getting back I was definitely sore and probably needed to drink more water. This tour was a great experience made greater by the knowledge and care taken by Patrick to show us something that he loves. This was definitely a highlight of my trip to Belize.
Must do! Will remember for life

5.00Amazing one of a kind experience. Highly highly recommend, excellent tour guide and lunch was delicious. Very adventurous, the cave was massive. You’ll drive to the location, leave everything in the car besides water bottles, put on equipment then cave exploring for a few hours. After the hike you get to change into dry clothes for the ride back. Our tour guide Francisco was more than amazing. Couldn’t ask for a better day

5.00Pickup was on time and our guide Gliss was kind and very informative. He helped us along and explained so many things. The cave itself was really cool and learning about the Mayan culture was interesting. I wish we could take cameras or the guides could have taken pictures for us but cameras are banned. It did require a certain level of fitness so be Miguel of that since we were scrambling up and down rocks, swimming and crawling through tight crevices.
