Overview

  • Embark on the ultimate Belize cave tubing and crystal cave expedition—a thrilling journey blending heart-pumping adventure, sacred Maya mystique, and pristine jungle landscapes. Designed for travellers seeking an authentic, uncrowded experience, our tours prioritise small groups with dedicated, attentive guiding. Your guide handles all the heavy lifting so you can relax, explore freely, and enjoy seamless one-on-one attention throughout the day.

    Trek beneath the dense rainforest canopy to enter subterranean caverns where limestone walls shimmer with natural crystals. Drift along winding underground rivers in your tube before stepping into the sacred Crystal Cave—a revered Maya underworld (Xibalba) hiding thousand-year-old ceremonial pottery and untouched relics. After uncovering these ancient secrets with your expert guide, cap off your expedition with a swim and an optional cliff dive into the refreshing depths of a secluded sapphire-blue cenote before a smooth, worry-free return.

Activity itinerary

Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Trade the jungle heat for the cool subterranean currents of Belize’s sacred river caves. Upon arrival at the reserve base, you will be outfitted with high-powered headlamps, safety helmets, and life jackets. A gentle, shaded 20-minute walk beneath the rainforest canopy brings you to the crystal-clear Caves Branch River launch site. Settle into your heavy-duty tube and drift into cathedral-like limestone caverns. As your guide expertly steers through the gentle currents, beam your headlamp across soaring ceilings adorned with glistening stalactites, towering stalagmites, and shimmering mineral curtains. Learn how the ancient Maya revered these subterranean river passages as Xibalba—the sacred entrance to the underworld where priests performed sacred rituals to appease the rain gods. After navigating through glowing dark chambers and hidden water passages, you will emerge into the sunny, tropical open river for a relaxing float back to the base facilities.
