To begin, as you step off your tender boat at the dock in Belize City, you will
be met by your guide with your names clearly displayed on our signboard which reads "Major Tom".
You will then enjoy a leisurely ride through the
countryside in a fully equipped, air conditioned van or bus.
The cave tubing tour
is a mere hour drive from the commercial center of Belize City, in the historic
Sibun Caves Branch Archaeological Park which provides its visitors with some of
the best opportunities to explore cave tubing in Belize
and appreciate the area's
spectacular cave formations.
Your cave tubing tour will start with a 30 minute hike through well kept and easy to traverse nature trails, which take you through two small dry caves with gorgeous stalactite and stalagmite formations and awesome crystal curtains. The flora of the rainforest is typical of a well preserved tropical broadleaf eco-system, with many famous hardwoods, medicinal plants, and some farming produce such as guava, mamei, pineapple, sugarcane, mango, avocado, and coconut trees. |

 As
you reach the river system of the Sibun Caves Branch, enjoy a cool splash in
this undisturbed, unpolluted spring and rain fed waterway which punched a cavernous
cave system through the hills of the Sibun Range during the early cretaceous period
over 100 million years ago! But there is more to this system than meets the eye. The advent of the famous Maya Civilization to this area known as Meso-America,
meant the use of the caves as an earthly journey through the mythological underworld
of the Maya faith and confrontation with the nine dark lords who governed the
nine levels of that world.
As you float down the river, you will experience the wonder of animal and bird-shaped stalactite formations once held sacred by those Mayan shamans, so be sure to bring along a waterproof camera, even a disposable one, with a flash unit. At the end of your cave tubing journey through this astounding cave system, you will float out into the open, under the canopy of the majestically tall trees lining the riverbanks, until you end up right back where you started walking. This makes for an easy and totally enjoyable circuit, and allows you the opportunity to relax and reflect after your adventure. Included in your tour: A/C van or bus with cellular phones for constant contact, cold bottled water, all professional cave tubing and safety equipment, highly trained guides, river safety staff, security for personal items, modern bathrooms, park entrance fees, showers and changing rooms provided for you at the site. Come cave tubing with The Fun Team! |
