Worth It
Nas and Tracy were our guides and did a fantastic job. We had an issue with the time difference but they made sure we got to our ship in time to leave. This is the third time I have been to Belize and done an excursion with cave tubing and it has always been a fantastic time. We have brought friends and family each time and they have loved it just as much as we did. Swimming in the water while our tour guides set our tubes was relaxing and refreshing. The next time I’m in Belieze on a cruise, I will be back to do this excursion again.

Very beautiful , relaxing experience by our guide, C!
The tubing was fun. Our guide, “C” was very knowledgeable about the trees, flora and fauna and inside the cave he took his time to point out the different features of the cave, water levels and a special water fall! The walk in is about 20 minutes on some low rocky inclines which I managed well after a knee surgery 2 1/2 months ago. Wearing a good pair of water shoes helps. We appreciated the change rooms with showers afterwards and the lunch of chicken rice and beans and potato salad was quite tasty . There were 2 problems 1. We booked the 8 am tour . Once we met the tour operator host for ViV tours we waited an hour. They had cancelled the 8 am departure without notifying us. We waited around another hour before we boarded a van. They should have notified us because being an hour later starting made a difference to the end of our tour before our Princess ship sailed. 2. Our problem which could have been huge was, our van broke down on our way back to the cruise port. Luckily had we were close and another van was sent for us within 10-15 minutes. We made it by 2 minutes! We have used Viator numerous times and different countries , this was the first time for the tour operator dropping the ball

Excellent cave tubing!!!
NAZ was an amazing tour guide. We had a lot of fun and his knowledge was second to none. Everyone was friendly at lunch and is worth the trip.

The cave tubing tour was...
The cave tubing tour was Naz was a lot of fun! He had so much knowledge about Belize so we learned alot of history on the way to the caves as well. We even had opporunities to explore deeper in the caves (at that point we were tired lol). Naz as a guide provided a fun experience, joked with us, and made us feel welcomed. 10/10 recommend.

Didn't need to book through the cruuise line to get one of th ebest and secure feeling shore excursion!
I've done around 50 shore excursions over the last 25 years, and this one easily lands in my top three of all time. To make things interesting, the weather wasn't cooperating, and the ship's tenders got us to shore about 50 minutes late. I was worried we'd miss the tour, but they waited for us... and it turns out there were six other delayed passengers too. That level of customer service set the tone right away. Finding them at the port was incredibly easy. They were standing right in the middle with a big sign, practically impossible to miss. If you've ever done independent excursions before, you know that isn't always the case. Sometimes you're playing a real-life game of "Where's Waldo?" while checking text messages and hoping you're in the right spot. Not here. I'll admit, I was a little nervous about spending 90 minutes floating through a cave on an inner tube. The thought of being underground for that long sounded a bit intimidating. Thanks to our guide, that nervousness lasted maybe three minutes. The remaining 87 minutes were nothing but fun. The cave itself was incredible, and the small-group atmosphere made it feel like a private tour with lots of one-on-one interaction. After the tubing adventure, they provided a nice lunch at no extra cost, which was a great touch. One thing to know: if you're visiting this port and want to do something truly memorable, expect about an hour drive in a van. The ride was perfectly fine, although the van may have been auditioning for a role as a bouncing castle and could probably use some new shocks. Most importantly, every concern I had about booking with an independent operator instead of a cruise-line excursion was completely debunked. The organization, communication, service, and experience were all outstanding. I would absolutely book with this company again and would be thrilled to get Abner (sp?) as our driver and guide. He did a fantastic job and was a huge part of what made this excursion so memorable. Bottom line: If you're on the fence about this excursion, stop thinking and book it. It was one of the best shore excursions I've ever done. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cave Tubing in Belize with V.i.V.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Belize City.
How much does Cave Tubing in Belize with V.i.V. cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Belize City 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 in Belize with V.i.V. take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Belize City is not rushed.
Is Cave Tubing in Belize with V.i.V. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 197 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Belize City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cave Tubing in Belize with V.i.V.?
+
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 in Belize with V.i.V. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cave Tubing in Belize with V.i.V.?
+
Around 69 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 Belize City 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 Belize City and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cave Tubing in Belize with V.i.V. 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 Belize City 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 Belize City?
+
On Outty we rank every Belize City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cave Tubing and Zipline Adventure from Belize City, Caves River Kayaking, Explore More with V.i.V., Altun Ha Mayan Ruins & Cave Tubing Tour with Belizean Lunch. 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 Belize City?
+
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 Belize City?
+
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.
