Wow! This was an amazing experience and such an enjoyable and educational way to see the remarkable underground caves of Belize. We had to tender to the port but it was no trouble finding the station where Charlie’s employees were located as all of them were wearing blue Superman shirts which all read “Charlie Chan’s Excursions”. We had 14 members of our family on the excursion and Charlie provided a comfortable, air conditioned van with a cooler filled with bottled water. Our guide, Brett, was so incredibly informative and spent the entire hour long drive to the caves pointing out local points of interest until we arrived at the site. We were able to rent Crocs or other water proof shoes as well as waterproof lanyard type plastic covers for cell phones so we could safely take pictures and videos throughout our expedition. We walked on a well worn path and waded across a creek for about a mile (30 minute walk) until we arrived at the starting point. We were each fitted with a comfortable flotation tube and a lighted safety helmet as well as a life vest. There were 14 of us ranging in age from 4-74 and the walk as well as the tubing experience was very manageable! Brett and another guide from the site adeptly hooked all our tubes together in rows of two and pulled/pushed our family through the caves explaining all about the areas of interest. So many fascinating stalagmites and stalactites. Towards the end of the cave, Brett encouraged us to hop out of the tubes and we all happily bobbed along the easy moving current until we came to the end of our tour! That was an unbelievable, memorable experience! After the tubing, we came back to the main entrance, changed into dry clothes and got back in our air conditioned van where Brett and the driver, Jonathan, had a cooler full of cold bottled water. We were taken to a charming local, open air “pub” for a Belizian lunch of rice, beans, chicken and salad along with water and/or soda. After lunch, we were returned to the port in plenty of time to board the ship before the mandatory set-sail time. I would highly recommend Charlie’s cave tubing excursion! The entire family considered it a real highlight of our cruise and we’re so pleased that we booked through Viator to go with Charlie’s group!
