I’ll start with my favorite part of this day: cave tubing! We did not do the kayak upgrade & would not recommend doing so, as it would distract you from time viewing in every direction. Our tour guide, George “of the jungle” for this day absolutely made the day & is the sole reason for the 5 stars. We were a small group, which we decided was much better than a large van or bus full sized group. George was very knowledgeable about every tree in the forest, including ones that cause a rash or illness, as well as the ones that cure ailments. George added some extra adventures during our cave tube experience which were above & beyond what we were expecting! The Altun Ha Mayan ruins were also very interesting & we were glad we got to experience that. We were pleasantly surprised that we actually got to climb up to the top of the structures. What views! Of course, there were a lot of vendors selling their wares after the tour, so have some cash with you if you want souvenirs or snacks. There is a lot of travel time in the vehicle, so be aware of that, especially if you’re staying on Ambergris or Caye Caulker. It is a full day, but we were very happy we had the enjoyable experience.
