Your private tour begins with a comfortable, air-conditioned drive approximately one hour to the Nohoch Che’en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve; part of one of the most extensive cave systems in Central America and a site the ancient Maya held as sacred passage to Xibalba, the underworld. After a full gear-up and safety briefing, a 30-minute guided jungle hike through lush rainforest brings you to the water’s edge, with your guide narrating the flora, fauna, and history of the reserve along the way. From there the river takes over — those seeking extra adventure can opt for a supervised rock jump and a short swim through a narrow cave passage before settling into the tubes for the main float through the cave system and out onto the peaceful open river beyond. A short walk back to return gear closes out the active portion of the day before a relaxing drive back to your drop-off point.
This exclusive private adventure drops you into one of Belize’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders: a ancient cave system carved by the Caves Branch River and held sacred by the Maya for centuries as the gateway to the underworld. Drift through towering subterranean chambers on an inner tube, surrounded by the sounds of the earth and lit only by your headlamp, before floating out onto the open river as the jungle canopy opens above you. For those wanting more, optional rock jumps and a tight cave swim add an extra layer of thrill to an already unforgettable experience.
