    On our way to Placencia,...

    On our way to Placencia, my husband and I decided to do a tour at the St. Herman’s Cave and it did not disappoint! Our tour guide, Kevin, was friendly and knowledgeable and told us lots about the history of the cave. We even got a peek at some Mayan pottery that was found down there! The water was cool and the dip in the Blue Hole was a refreshing way to end the tour. Highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing us. Its always a pleasure for us to have you guys on our tours and to give you the best experience. Glad you enjoyed.

    Tubing at St. Herman's Cave

    From the first email Upside Down Tours was great; responsive and easy to book and modify our plans when timing changed. We did a 2 hour tube tour at St. Herman's with them and they were so accommodating and helpful. Really enjoyed the cave and the guide who was informative and helpful. Several times he offered to take our photos so we had pictures of us in the tubes with helmets and headlamps! We met them at the site (as prearranged) on our drive from Placencia to San Ignacio -- a nice way to break up the drive and get cooled off in the water. Would highly recommend Upside Down Tours.

    Response from the operator: We appreciate you taking your time to let others know about us. Thank you for givings us back a feedback on your tour and we are glad you had a great time with us.

    Cave tubing at St Herman’s

    Our family had a great time cave tubing with Abel Garcia. He was very knowledgeable and we felt completely comfortable. We would recommend to all!

    Loved it

    Was a really fun and awesome experience! Abel was our guide and he was so knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we were safe the whole time. St. Herman's was just the right amount of tubing for us, as we did not want to spend the whole day tubing. We drove to the (other) blue hole after and swam in it- it was so clear and beautiful, highly recommend! Don't hesitate to book! Five stars!

    Response from the operator: We are so happy to hear you loved your experience and that Abel took good care of you. We truly appreciate your five-star review and kind words about St Herman's cave tubing. Thank you!

    BEST Cave Tubing Experience!

    We had the absolute BEST time on our cave tubing excursion w/ guide Milenie! She made the whole experience with her charm, wittiness, humor, & historical knowledge! It was the perfect combination of fun & learning! We loved the mix of hiking, tubing, & swimming in the cave & Milenie was so helpful with taking pictures & videos for us! She also made the experience even better by telling us when to turn our headlamps on & off for good pictures as well as when to safely float in the DARK of the cave! It was such a surreal experience that all of us LOVED! We are so happy we booked this excursion w/ Upsidedown Tours & would recommend them any time!

    Cave Tubing at St Hermans Blue Hole: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Ignacio.

    How much does Cave Tubing at St Hermans Blue Hole cost?

    +

    Prices start at $56 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Ignacio usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cave Tubing at St Hermans Blue Hole take?

    +

    Plan for about 0 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Ignacio is not rushed.

    Is Cave Tubing at St Hermans Blue Hole worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Ignacio, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cave Tubing at St Hermans Blue Hole?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cave Tubing at St Hermans Blue Hole suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cave Tubing at St Hermans Blue Hole?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Ignacio can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Ignacio and add a light layer if any part of the 0-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cave Tubing at St Hermans Blue Hole start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Ignacio within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in San Ignacio?

    +

    On Outty we rank every San Ignacio experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave Tour and Picnic, Xunantunich and Cave Tubing Combo Tour from San Ignacio, Tikal SUNSET, Archeological focus and Wildlife Spotting Tour (South and East). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit San Ignacio?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in San Ignacio?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Cave Tubing at St Hermans Blue Hole?

    +

    Included: Locker; and In-person: English, Spanish. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Cave Tubing at St Hermans Blue Hole?

    +

    Once you get to the National park at St. Hermans, you just ask for either Abel Garcia or Upside Down Tours. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Cave Tubing at St Hermans Blue Hole offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Cave Tubing at St Hermans Blue Hole?

    +

    Is Cave Tubing at St Hermans Blue Hole wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
