Cave Tubing

Mainland tourFull-day tour (includes travel from San Pedro)Guided by 501

The 501 Experience

Float an underground river through caves the Maya held sacred.

As your tube drifts into the mouth of the cave, the outside world disappears. Cool, clear water carries you through a vast underground world: your headlamp revealing glittering stalactites, cathedral-sized chambers, and rock walls the Maya once held sacred.

Before the tubing begins, a short rainforest hike winds through tropical plants and birdsong to the river’s edge. The whole day is equal parts peaceful and thrilling, a connection to Belize’s natural beauty and ancient history you can’t get anywhere else.

Cave tubing is Belize’s signature inland adventure: an underground river winding through limestone cave systems carved over millennia. It’s consistently rated among the top things to do in the entire country, and 501 handles every step of the logistics from your hotel door.
