Cave Tubing at Caves Branch

Explore the Caves Branch river-cave system ....

Enter an exciting realm where rivers disappear into the underworld as you float on inner tubes with only your headlamp to lead the way. Glide past entrances from above, filtering mists of jungle light, as you float through underground river caves sparkling with mica-studded stalactites and stalagmites, filled with 1,000-year-old pottery shards. Continue past an underground waterfall leading into the "Crystal Cathedral", a spiritual place used by the ancient Maya.

Guided Exploration is by rubber inner tube. Some underground hiking and jungle trekking is required.


Cave Tubing

Cross the Caves Branch River and hike upstream with your inner tube. A walk to the third cave entrance takes about 30 minutes and you're back where you started in 2 hours. Highlights include an underground waterfall.

A hike upstream to the 5th cave entrance involves some climbing inside the cave and some fitness is required. Hiking time takes 1.5 hours with total trip time at 3.5 hours.

Caves Branch

This is an exhilarating way to end your inland exploration. If you're coming from San Ignacio and heading to Belize International, there's time for the (3 cave) - 2 hour trip.

If you have a late departure flight or are coming from or heading to Caye Caulker or Ambergris Caye, then we recommend a (5 cave) - 3.5 hour cave-tubing option.

Degree of Difficulty
Moderately Challenging
-
Ability to maneuver an inner tube required. Shorts and T-shirts are suggested, along with comfortable shoes you can hike in and get wet.

Because you will be getting wet, its a good idea to bring along extra clothes.

You can enjoy Cave Tubing as part of a personalized "Create Your Own"
CAYO Vacation Package.
