What an amazing experience! We were lucky to have Pretty as our tour guide. It was only me and my daughter, so we got a personal tour. Pretty gave us one of the best tours we have been on. He was very attentive to detail, extremely knowledgeable about the history of the caves, and kept us entertained the whole time. After, we ate lunch and had some of the best rum punch I have ever had. I would recommend this tour to anyone that is able to visit Belize and if possible ask for the best tour guide, Pretty Guzman! Oh and Mike our driver was great as well. He got us there and back, safely.

We had an absolute blast doing this tour (and two others!) with Maya Walk during our time in Belize. Our tour guide was Giselle and we had so much fun relaxing down the river with her. She was super knowledgeable about the wildlife and helped us spot three toucans as we floated along! We had a great lunch at a restaurant, and we would highly highly highly recommend Maya Walk for all of your San Ignacio tours.

Out of all the tours we did (one each day for a week) this one was my favorite 😍. The walk through the jungle was beautiful and not to hard for my 70 yr old mother. The caves we beautiful, we saw waterfalls, bats and got to swim deeper in the cave where there was Mayan pottery. Jason was our tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and really made it fun.

They do need to update the description. We didn’t have a picnic (lunch at a nearby restaurant instead—included in cost), and we didn’t stop for a snack & swim before the last cave, and we saw no human remains.
Other than that this trip was just great. Karim (sp?) was our driver and he told us all about the countryside as we passed. And it wasn’t just a rote schpiel: I’ve been in Belize for a while and I could ask him questions about the landscape and politics and he’d answer outright or weave the answer into whatever he was describing at the time.
Marcus, the guide...I just don’t know if there are enough superlatives to describe his knowledge and his storytelling and his skills. Plus he told us a little about his life and he just seems like a really cool dude. If I was staying longer, I’d want to hire him directly for a longer tour. He was very kind and made us feel safe (I’m a little bit of a nervous nelly).
I’d done this trip before in 2014 with another tour company (I don’t remember the name), and this was so much better. Smaller (there were just 4 of us, but the maximum was 8), much better quality of inner tube (the backrest made a huge difference in comfort), longer time on the river, plus we ended with a little swim.
I *strongly* recommend this excursion. And I hope that you get a driver and guide as wonderful as Karim & Marcus.

This was an unforgettable experience! MayaWalk tours had a big part in that. While we saw other groups moving rather quickly, Oscar, our guide, took his time, made sure we got the full experience. He moved at our pace, answered all our questions, he was kind and fun to be with. He made sure all those in our party were comfortable with the activities and he even helped my husband retrieve his glasses that sank down to the bottom of one of the pools. I would 100% use them again next time.

We had an excellent day with Giselle as our guide. She was friendly and knowledgeable. The company picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off as well after a full day. Lunch at a restaurant on the way home was a delicious traditional Belizean meal. Would highly recommend!!

Our tour guide Gizelle was incredible! We learned so much about the caves and local fauna and flora. We also got out of our tubes halfway through and went to a spot for some really fun cave jumping. The caves, water, and views were spectacular and the place we stopped at for lunch had incredible food. MayaWalk Tours also arranged so that they could pick us up closer to the resort were staying at. We would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to have a great time tubing through beautiful caves. Ask for Gizelle if you can!

Tubing was a blast. It was great floating along the cave and into the jungle. It is a bit crowded with other tour companies tubing and kayaking. The tour guides at Mayawalk even let us explore the cave and jump into the water.

Walter was our tour guide, and he was fantastic. He made the excursion very enjoyable for a couple 70+ yr old friends. There were 7 in our group, and it was a great trip. This trip could have been booked in San Ignacio, and on reflection, I don’t think I would book a tour in advance on line again, but wait until I got to my hotel and booked locally.

My partner and I did this while staying in San Ignacio. We had an awesome guide, Jason, who gave us a quick Belizean history lesson on the drive out, and then he did an awesome job showing us through the cave. We stopped in the cave at a large island next to a sinkhole entrance where we were able to explore on land in the cave for a while, and then we even got the chance to jump from a ten foot outcrop to swim back to where we stashed the tubes and finish floating through the cave.

Hi I'm coming in this week and would like to do the cave tubing all day. This sounds a lot better for families than the ATM and zip lining tours. We are very active and fit couple with a one year old. She has her own life vest and water booties. Could she be strapped to one of us on the tube? I heard this particular Belizean river isn't fast moving which sounds perfect. Please lmk asap so we can book. Thanks Ellie
