We visited Belize at the end of May and had an amazing time!After looking online for a cave tubing and zipline adventure tour, we settled with "Explore Belize Caves" and we were not disappointed! Dennis was a joy to work with! We emailed back and forth and he called ahead of our trip to get everything set up. Since we had plans in other parts of the country, he recommended a stay in Belize City which worked out great.

The trip turned out to be half the price of doing it from the cayes and Dennis picked us up directly at our hotel.

It took about an hour from downtown Belize to reach the cave tubing spot and we traveled in a nice air conditioned van. Dennis told stories along the trip and gave us great information on Belize.

Once at the site, we took a hike through the jungle getting to see different wildlife and plants. Since the cruise ships weren't in that day, we had the river mostly to ourselves. It was a fun time with great stories while in the caves and very relaxing. The second half was the zipline tour which was awesome. Although, it is kind of short, it's so fun to go sailing through the treetops.

Afterwards, we stopped for lunch at this great local joint called Amigos.

It was a great trip and we higly recommend it! Everyone along the way was so friendly! Dennis has a wonderful personality and we enjoyed our time with him.

This was a great experience! Dennis himself picked us up from the airport at about 11 a.m...Our plane was a few minutes late but he was right there with a name card. I was traveling with one other person and we had him all to ourselves. On the ride to the caves he went over a little history and on the walk to the caves he taught us about all sorts of plants and trees we came upon. It was very informative. The river was so beautiful and refreshing and the views relaxing. Dennis had water for us back at the van and all our belongings were safe and sound. DO NOT forget bug spray! And after you apply, do not touch any plastic bags with letters/images on them...the ink will come off on your hands. This may be a well know fact, but I’m not the outdoors kind…so it was news to me!  We also did zip-lining immediately after and that was another fun experience. There is a little bit of a walk to get to the first platform and it is steep!! I had to take a 10 second breather at the 2nd platform or I was going to over-heat. At this point it had been a loooong day for me...I worked the day before and basically stayed up all night until we took our flight out of NYC at 4 am...and didn't sleep much on the plane and had a lay-over in San Salvador!...But the guys who took us up were very friendly and will go at your pace. (Dennis waited for us at the bottom.) Going from one platform to the next was so much fun. It was a rush and I felt safe and well equipped at all times. Dennis also went above and beyond to get us to our next destination a few miles away. He was going there for business anyway, but had no obligation to take us along with him. Don't hesitate to book with him if you are considering this activity...you won't be disappointed. And he's great with e-mail, too.

I booked a cave tubing excursion through Explore Belize Caves and Dennis Perez. Dennis got back with me very quickly and communicated very well before the trip. He was easy to find at the cruise terminal, as he had a board with our names on it. There were only four of us in our group that were not doing the zipline (we had done this previously in Costa Rica). Dennis was our guide through the caves. He gave us an option of foregoing one of the caves in order to climb through one of the caves (truly exploring Belize caves!). We unanimously voted for this option. It was amazing! There were places where we had to crawl on our bellies, but we saw some beautiful formations and some old Mayan pottery that dated to 250BC. It was truly an adventure! The float down the river was relaxing. They had us link together and the guides pulled us along through the shallow parts. Dennis was very friendly and gave lots of information about the country and the people that live there. We stopped at a local restaurant (Amigos) for lunch before heading back to the ship, which was really good and inexpensive. Overall, it was a great day and a wonderful way to see parts of Belize! I highly recommend Dennis and Explore Belize Caves! :)

We went with Dennis Perez's company instead of using the cruise line and we are SO glad we did. Not only was it cheaper, but we were given one on one service (there was only myself and my friend in the entire "tour." We were treated like royalty throughout the tour and didn't even have to paddle ourselves, despite how shallow the river was--Dennis did all of the work. In addition, having a native Belizian take us around taught us a lot about the country and gave us an "insider look" that we would have never gotten otherwise. I recommend Dennis 1,000%!!
