What you'll see and do
Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve
At this archaeological reserve, your guide will allow a few minutes for you to change into your tubing gear or swimwear. In the meantime, he will be preparing your tubes and other gears until you are finished. You'll then begin your 15 minute educational hike through the lush rain forest trails with your guide leading the way. After this trek, you'll be at the entrance of the "Mayan Under World"; the cave. Feel free to take a dip in the crystal clear water with your guide to cool down before you begin! Sit back and relax for the next hour and a half as your guide pulls you through the cave; pointing out pristine crystals and other natural formations along the way. Become submerged in ancient Mayan history and one of a kind grandeur. Take your cameras so that you can photograph the beauty of the large "cenote" or sinkhole and waterfall inside the cave system. Upon exiting the cave you will float on the open river for at least 25 minutes before arriving at the start/end point again.

Highlight of our trip!!!
Percy was absolutely amazing! To start, he made himself available to pick my wife and I up early upon request. Secondly, Percy is extremely personable and knowledgeable about Belize’s history and culture. We had an amazing time talking about birds of the region and facts about the area/things we saw! I highly highly highly recommend choosing Percy as your Altun Ha excursion choice!
Response from the operator: Thank you for reviewing and visiting Belize! We really appreciate your support.

AWESOME!!!!
What and amazing day! Percy added the Altun Ha Mayan ruins to our trip without hesitation as we were close. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. We ziplined and did the cave tour as well. Our adventure was totally awesome and did not disappoint! Percy is very knowledgeable about the history of Belize and shares many stories and adventures. He called me before our travel date to let me know what to expect and what we would need. He spent 10 hours with us and it was like we had been friend for a lifetime...very personable and has a great attitude...he LOVES what he does! Highly recommend booking with Royal Belizean Adventures!
Response from the operator: Thank you for writing your experience for our future guests to see the type of efforts we put into each tour. I’m glad that you enjoyed your day and we will be sure to continue to up keep the standard. Namaste

lunch ????
the cave rafting was incredible. the ruins were worth seeing . i was very disappointed with lunch . i paid a great deal for my tour , lunch was one flour tortilla with stewed chicken and watermelon juice , no rice or beans . i expected more for over $200 each .
Response from the operator: Thank you for your honest review, on the day of your tour it was a holiday and our usual restaurant did not make rice and beans on that day however, we offered you different lunch options and you chose the chicken burrito. We also offer all our guest fresh natural fruit juices or sodas along with your lunch, therefore I am not sure what was the issue with the water melon juice. However, I apologise, and I assure our future guest that this is a rare occurrence.

Great company to work with!
We were not able to go on our adventure due to a tropical storm that came through. The company was very accommodating, and offered to rebook for another day or activity. We couldn’t due this due to travel plans, but received a prompt refund. I will reach out next time we’re in Belize and use Royal Belizean Adventures. I’m impressed with their quick response and handling of the situation.
Response from the operator: Thanks James, we appreciate your honest review. We will remain true to our core values of honesty and fairness.

PRIVATE Belize Cave tubing & Altun Ha Mayan Temples with lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Belize City.
How much does PRIVATE Belize Cave tubing & Altun Ha Mayan Temples with lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $225 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 PRIVATE Belize Cave tubing & Altun Ha Mayan Temples with lunch take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 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 PRIVATE Belize Cave tubing & Altun Ha Mayan Temples with lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 36 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 PRIVATE Belize Cave tubing & Altun Ha Mayan Temples with lunch?
+
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 PRIVATE Belize Cave tubing & Altun Ha Mayan Temples with lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book PRIVATE Belize Cave tubing & Altun Ha Mayan Temples with lunch?
+
Around 13 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 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does PRIVATE Belize Cave tubing & Altun Ha Mayan Temples with lunch 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.
