I had never been cave tubing, but it wasn't what I had imagined. Instead of each of us guiding our own inner tube, we were all clipped together in a group. The guide and "guide in training" were very friendly, but I did not find the main guide, Jessie , to be as knowledgeable as other guides I have encountered on trips in Belize on other tours.
Gabriel, the "guide in training" actually seemed more knowledgeable, so I learned to direct my questions to him.
The hardhats were smelly and the life vests mildewed, but that is likely hard to control in a humid environment.
No one else, not even the guides, had insect repellent for the stretch of hike that had blood thirsty mosquitoes. We were the only prepared out of a group of 6 tourists. We shared ours, of course, but in the future, I think you should give guides some DEET.
It was refreshing to be in the water, but honestly, I found the Barton Creek Cave Tour much more interesting.
