About this activity

What makes this Altun Ha and cave tubing tour from Ambergris Caye exceptional is the transition between two completely different worlds of Belize. At Altun Ha, your guide uses the plazas, temples, and Temple of the Masonry Altars to explain how the city served as a ceremonial center and a trading connection between the Caribbean coast and inland Maya communities. The experience then changes from sunlit stone plazas to the rainforest and underground river at Nohoch Che’en near Frank’s Eddy. After the forest approach and safety briefing, enter the Cave Branch River system and float beneath limestone ceilings while your headlamp reveals chambers and formations shaped over time by flowing water. This is more than placing two popular attractions in one day. The guide connects Belize’s human history above ground with its geological and natural history below ground. The changing scenery keeps the day varied while the interpretation gives each part of the journey a clear sense of place.

Once at the entrance of the cave system, it’s time for your cave tubing adventure through the ancient Maya underworld. Inside, you’ll see intricate crystalline formations that line the cave with a majestic rise and fall of stalagmites and stalactites that add to the serene richness and grandiose of Xibalba as it’s known.
