Top Belize Day Trips

AMAZING! My husband and I travel all over and have done a lot. This falls in our top 5 activities we have ever done. You really feel like you’re caving. We traveled with our 12 year-old and 16 year-old children. Andy was a top notch guide. Highly recommend you request him. Knowledgeable, funny, helpful, all the things! Pack two pairs of sneakers for your vacation. Your sneakers will get wet and possibly ruined. It’s been two days and our shoes are still not dry. I would pack tube socks instead of ankle socks. My family wore tube socks and they got very little rocks in their socks. I wore ankle socks and I had a ton of pebbles and sand in my socks that were quite uncomfortable. We did not do this, but you may find you appreciate wearing two pairs of socks, because at one point you take your shoes off and walk in the cave. You could remove the top pair when you are done with that portion and put the socks in your life vest. This would help to remove a layer of pebbles. Also the second pair of socks may help with comfort walking in your socks. You will sweat a lot. Consider packing some electrolytes for before and after if you’re susceptible to dehydration symptoms. Bring a second set of clothes, you will be wet and will not dry off before you get in the van. Some of the vans have fabric seat. If you have travel flexibility….take the trip during the shoulder season to reduce tourist traffic. And if you do come in peak season, I believe cruise ships come on Wednesdays and Thursdays. It sounds like I would avoid cave trips on these days. Congestion can happen and there is one point in the tour that can lead to a long wait time with a lot of people in a holding chamber. Writing a review for this is tough because words can’t do it justice. The best I can offer is the above recommendations to make it that much better for you.
