One of the most unique adventures available in Belize is called "cave tubing". The ancient Maya that once dominated Belize believed that caves were sacred nexuses to the world of the gods. Today, visitors can climb aboard an inner tube to ride down the placid Caves Branch River, entering miles of passageways that still feature artifacts and sacred objects left behind by Maya priests.
Cave tubing in Belize is a special opportunity to gently sail down a beautiful and pristine river, sailing through lots of branching passageways to marvel at the long-lost world of the ancient Maya.
Cave tubing at the Caves Branch Archaeological Site begins with an easy hike up to the entrance where guides will outfit each participant with their own inner tube. From there, the guide will lead the flotilla around a bend, each tuber passing from the bright sunshine filtering down through the jungle foliage into a wonderland of enormous caverns. The journey continues as the group floats out of one cave only to then sail into another one.
The comfort of the inner tube, the delightfully refreshing water, and the marvels on display in these sacred passageways are a true tonic for the mind, body and soul. Ideal for families or solo meditations, cave tubing is a special way to become one with a sacred site that has lain untouched for more than a thousand years.
