For thousands of years, our ancestors used the cave system for dwelling, performing sacred ceremonies, and store food. Join us in this journey to the underworld. We provide the headlights, helmets, life jackets, kayaks, and an experienced guide. All geared up, the guides led you through a forest path, sharing local uses of the plants seen along the trail. At the caves entrance, the guide shares information as to the caves layout, kayaking equipment familiarization and kayak route. Here you will notice awesomely large cave entrances with a crystal-clear river flowing through them. As you paddle, you will go through a series of caves and see many formations. The guide will show you places to stop, rest, and enjoy a refreshing swim. The paddling continues through the cave systems until you arrive at the exit, where the sunlight glitters on the water and the birds can be heard singing on the river bank. We store our gear,use the facilities,and prepare for the drive home. Reserve Now.

Belize made memorable by Frederick!

I will start with the fact that Frederick was absolutely INCREDIBLE of a guide. We booked this tour as our on-shore excursion from a cruise ship. The 7 hour window was tight given the distance and completion time of activities and he immediately informed us that if we wanted to get the best experience, we would need to be on "athlete mode". It should be noted that my partner and I are in EXCELLENT physical health and are highly active. Those that are not in this health/fitness category (or that prefer a more leisurely pace), it might be helpful for the company and for potential clients to make specific mention that this exact combo excursion would not be possible from a cruise ship with the narrow time allotted on shore. One or the other, absolutely! But the combo was ambitious. With that said, WOW! Frederick was impressively professional, fun, engaging, informative, and one of the kindest people we've met. He's a tremendous asset to V.i.V. and as a hosted guide/company on Viator. He utilized drive time to maximize our experience at Altun Ha, which was an impressive archeological marvel. We were able to gain new insights and perspectives from Frederick that we found highly valuable. The experience we had kayaking was excellent, albeit fast, as time was a coveted commodity. He was very clear on how to navigate the small rapids and how to paddle the kayak in 3 inches of water. Despite the truncated timetable, we had an absolute blast. The kayaking area was absolutely spectacular. The "hike" to the entry point was so lush and stunning, we could have stayed there all day looking around. The river and the caves were absolutely spectacular. There was plenty of height and width during the kayak that feeling closed in wasn't an issue! My partner and I are more than satisfied with this experience, enough to ideally return to Belize in the (near) future. Thank you again!
Queen of the kayak.

My friend and I signed up to Kayak for this excursion and had a wonderful time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared as much information as he could while driving us to the river. Once we got to our destination our guide took his time to make sure everyone was safe on their journey to and through the river on the kayaks. I thoroughly enjoyed all the site and sounds while kayaking through the rivers of Belize. It was a little crowded with other tours, which slowed us down and made things a bit hectic at times. We then set out to see some mayan temples afterwards in the afternoon. Since most tours go to the temples in the morning we were the only tour guide at the site when we got there around 2pm. Our guide quickly and gladly took our pics. and gave out more information. He made sure we departed on time so everyone arrived back at their drop point at proper time. I would definitely sign up for this tour again. The views alone of Belize make it 10/10. The only thing I wish this tour included was lunch since it is a full day tour.
Great tour, miscommunication of float type

Jeremy was awesome & patient with us. Tour was unique, an experience & un-Belize-able! Jeremy was knowledgeable & wonderful about answering our questions of the city of Belize, the cave elevation, rock formations, history of how the caves were used by the locals, etc. The views of Belize & their caves were amazing & the clear freshwater was so refreshing to swim in. Highly recommend tour, especially during hurricane season as you'll be getting in the water anyways! no need to worry about the downpouring rain! Only complaint was the lack of communication as we were supposed to get kayaks for our tour rather than tubes. So we were only able to go thru 1 cave (altun ha)

Our guide was fun and had a great sense of humor. He knew a lot of interesting facts and was very knowledgeable about the Mayan site. Our afternoon was a great kayaking experience. Guide had a great sense of humor, shared fun fauna knowledge. I highly recommend doing kayaks! It was fun and we got a little exercise too!
