Get ready for a one-of-a-kind adventure as you float through the ancient underworld of Belize! Our Cave Tubing Tour at Nohoch Che’en combines thrilling exploration, stunning scenery, and fascinating Maya history for an unforgettable experience.
After a scenic drive along the Western Highway, about 1.5 hours from San Ignacio, we arrive at the lush Nohoch Che’en Archaeological Reserve, a place known for its incredible cave systems and rich cultural heritage. Here, you’ll gear up with helmets, waterproof headlamps, and your trusty river tube—your ticket to an underground adventure!
A leisurely 45-minute hike along a flat jungle trail brings you deeper into the rainforest. Towering trees, vibrant tropical plants, and the sounds of wildlife surround you as your excitement builds for the adventure ahead.
At the entrance of the cave, imagine stepping into the sacred world of the ancient Maya, who believed these passages were gateways to Xibalba—the underworld. As you float down the gentle underground river, marvel at crystal formations, winding tunnels, and relics of the Maya civilization, all carved over millennia by water and time.
Your knowledgeable guide will bring the caves to life, sharing fascinating geological insights and cultural history that reveal the secrets of this mystical place.
After drifting through the winding passages, we hop off our tubes to explore a large cave chamber, where some adventurers even take a leap off short cliff edges into the refreshing water below. Then, it’s back on your tube for a relaxing float downriver, letting the gentle current carry you back to the starting point—memories of Belize’s hidden underground world fresh in your mind.
