Wonderful tour, even better tour guide
The cave tubing tour was incredible. I went in with no research or expectations. I was ready for a surprise. It was an incredible experience that I will gladly recommend to friends and family. Our tour guide Elvin was like a living AI/Google ChatGPT. Knowledgeable, affable, and all round awesome. I had so much fun I went back with the guide the second day for a different awesome tour. The Mayan ruins exploration was switched to to Altun Ha. Also, an awesome experience.

Exceeded Expectations
Highly recommend UpClose Belize, Kim the owner is great at communicating and they really took care of everything for other than it was my responsibility to get to the San Pedro airport from my hotel, adding in the flight to the mainland was extremely price friendly and made my experience that much better. I had Elmer as my guide and he was ahhhmazing. Lots of experience, knowledge and was just kind and patient and made me feel like family. Again can't say enough good things about Kim, Elmer and UpClose Belize.

Phenomenal Time in Belize
Our tour guide, Elvin Torres, was phenomenal!! Not only was he very knowledgeable about the Mayan ruins and the caves, but he was also down-to-earth and a joy to be around. He was fun and made our first trip to Belize amazing. Now I understand why he was awarded “Tour Guide of the Year” — a well deserved honor for an incredible person and guide. The tour itself was fantastic. I was in awe of the Xunantunich…the structures, the history, the richness and beauty of it all. It felt very spiritual at times to be there. And the cave tubing was so much fun! The water was refreshing after a warm, humid day at the ruins site. Great time! Great excursion.

Perfect day!!!
We were staying in San Pedro and wanted to take the ferry over to Belize city and check out the mainland for a day. This was a perfect combination and even though it was a long day, we had a great time and felt that we were able to see a lot! Alvin was great and answered all our questions! Highly recommend this company as they were responsive to questions before booking and gave great directions on what to bring and where to meet etc.

Great experience with a knowledgeable and funny guide. Very personal (2 -4 people on tour).
They booked us from Ambergris Caye to Belize city via Mayan Air. Our guide Elvin picked us up from airport and drove us and 1 other couple to a spot where the other couple took a horseback ride and we continued on to Xunantunich ruins. Elvin was very knowledgeable and let us look around at our own pace. He answered all our questions and gave us the history of how the temples were discovered and how much was fully excavated and documented. He was a great guide. Once done, we headed back and rejoined the other couple for a cave tubing experience that was outstanding. Elvin grew up in the area and knew tons about the caves and local people. The 5 of us had a great time. I think the rum filled pineapple at the end of tubing helped though. We laughed the entire hour it took to get back to Belize city! I would definitely recommend Upclose Belize and Elvin for your tour.

Xunantunich & Cave Tubing (fully inclusive) from Belize City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Belize City.
How much does Xunantunich & Cave Tubing (fully inclusive) from Belize City cost?
+
Prices start at $245 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 Xunantunich & Cave Tubing (fully inclusive) from Belize City take?
+
Plan for about 8.5 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 Xunantunich & Cave Tubing (fully inclusive) from Belize City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 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 Belize City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Xunantunich & Cave Tubing (fully inclusive) from Belize City?
+
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 Xunantunich & Cave Tubing (fully inclusive) from Belize City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Xunantunich & Cave Tubing (fully inclusive) from Belize City?
+
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 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 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Xunantunich & Cave Tubing (fully inclusive) from Belize City 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.
