Very cool
Beverly was awesome. We had a great time. The complete silence and darkness we experienced for a brief period of time was incredible. The rate was very reasonable.
via Tripadvisor
Amazing!
The 2 hour cave tubing tour was so fun but low stress (easy activity for kids). Lots of interesting information about the caves and ancient Mayan civilization. Felt nice and cool and a good break from the sun! Omar was an excellent guide, helpful, great with the kids and very knowledgeable! Ending the day with a swim in the beautiful crystal clear blue hole was amazing.

Great guide!
Our guide, Vida, was excellent. He shared historical information about Mayan culture. He pointed out the geological features of the cave. He made it an excellent experience.

If you are short on time, skip this.
My guide was lovely, she was knowledgeable and always checking in with me. It was cool, but very short and you don't tube for very long.

St. Herman's Cave Tubing with swimming in the Inland Blue Hole: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Ignacio.
How much does St. Herman's Cave Tubing with swimming in the Inland Blue Hole cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 St. Herman's Cave Tubing with swimming in the Inland Blue Hole take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 St. Herman's Cave Tubing with swimming in the Inland Blue Hole worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 31 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 St. Herman's Cave Tubing with swimming in the Inland 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 St. Herman's Cave Tubing with swimming in the Inland Blue Hole suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book St. Herman's Cave Tubing with swimming in the Inland Blue Hole?
+
Around 11 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does St. Herman's Cave Tubing with swimming in the Inland 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.
