ATM Cave + Xunatunich site
Absolutely loved it! But it’s definitely not for the faint of heart or weak in body. You should NOT do this adventure if you have any of the following: claustrophobia, neuropathy in your feet, heart failure, morbid obesity, fear of seeing skeletal remains, vertigo, trouble climbing on rocks, or fear of caves/the dark. Long hike through the jungle paths, crossing rivers 3x on the way there and 3x on the way back. Some tight squeezes and tricky climbing spots in the cave, but if your guide is anywhere near as good as our guide Dimas, they will ensure you get through safely. My husband is 6 foot and 200lbs of muscle and he made it though fine, even while wearing his life jacket which increases your bulk. Dimas was amazing- he had so much knowledge of the cave and the Mayan culture behind it. He took us the more rugged way out of the cave, which added to the adventure. The lunch was prepared by local eatery Mr. Joe’s BBQ and wow it was the most delicious food, really hit the spot after hours hiking around in jungle and cave. Wear tennis shoes or hiking boots, knowing that you will be in water deeper than you can touch (your head will stay dry because of life jacket, but everything else will be 100% soaked. Make sure you are wearing socks with whatever footwear you choose, because when you get to the area with the Crystal Maiden you must be in socks, no shoes, no bare feet. Our tour included going to see Xunatunich temple afterwards. Bring sunscreen and be ready to climb a total of 123 steps. The view at the top is worth it. Such a beautiful place. Again, Dimas taught us so much about the culture and the Mayan people.

Amazing!! So much fun
Pedro was soooo fun and amazing. He picked us up, drove us throughout, shared so many laughs with us and overall was extremely patient fun and kind! Pedro was our Xunantunich guide and Hector was our ATM guide. Hector was extremely well spoken, and super well versed about the ATMs history and lore. It felt a bit rushed on the tour with Hector and he was a bit strict with timing.. but good man nonetheless. We miss pedro already hahaha
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a fun and memorable day exploring Xunantunich and the ATM Cave with us. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Pedro and Hector. Pedro will especially appreciate knowing that his patience, kindness, and sense of humor made your day even more enjoyable! We also appreciate your feedback regarding the pace and timing of the ATM Cave portion of the tour. The ATM experience does require guides to carefully manage timing and safety throughout the cave, but we certainly want our guests to feel comfortable and able to fully enjoy this incredible experience. Thank you for choosing Cayo Inland Expeditions to be part of your Belize adventure. We hope the memories—and the laughs with Pedro—stay with you for a long time! 😊

Book this excursion!
Dmas was the best! This was one of the best experiences I’ve had. The ATM cave! You just have to experience it! It was a long day but 100% worth it! The lunch was great after the cave and honestly the hour it takes to get to Xunantunich was needed for a nap. Dmas was great throughout! We loved hearing the history and just being so well guided. He was thoughtful and really down to earth.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that your ATM Cave and Xunantunich adventure was one of the best experiences you’ve had. We’ll be sure to share your wonderful comments with Dimas. His thoughtful, down-to-earth approach and passion for sharing Belize’s history are truly appreciated. Thank you for choosing Cayo Inland Expeditions and for encouraging others to book this adventure. We’re so happy you felt it was 100% worth it!

Great tour combo
ATM was a great experience! So much more hands on than expected in terms of climbing and navigating tight spaces. The combination option was perfect to fit both tours in one day!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your great review! We're so glad you enjoyed the ATM Cave adventure and found the combination with Xunantunich to be the perfect way to experience both tours in one day.

Full-Day ATM Cave and Xunantunich Maya Temple Combo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Ignacio.
How much does Full-Day ATM Cave and Xunantunich Maya Temple Combo cost?
+
Prices start at $240 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 Full-Day ATM Cave and Xunantunich Maya Temple Combo take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Full-Day ATM Cave and Xunantunich Maya Temple Combo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 77 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 Full-Day ATM Cave and Xunantunich Maya Temple Combo?
+
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 Full-Day ATM Cave and Xunantunich Maya Temple Combo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day ATM Cave and Xunantunich Maya Temple Combo?
+
Around 27 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day ATM Cave and Xunantunich Maya Temple Combo 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.
