Cave tubing at Nohoch...
Cave tubing at Nohoch Ch'een was an incredible experience, and our guide, Edgar, made it even better than expected. Since we had a small group and a private tour, he was able to pick us up from our Airbnb, which was convenient, and as he drove us through San Ignacio, we got to learn more about the area. During our cave tubing experience, learning about the history of the cave, along with Mayan beliefs and rituals associated with it, was truly fascinating. Edgar showed us how parts of the cave were interpreted and sometimes modified to depict things like animals or people. We also got to see ancient Mayan pottery and swim through tight, cavernous side tunnels of the cave. Toward the end, Edgar guided us down the river while we got to relax and take in the scenery and overall experience. The lunch served afterward was exceptional as well. Overall, Edgar was kind, knowledgeable, and funny, and made this such a fun day for my friends and me. I would highly recommend him and this tour, and hope I get to do it again someday! Thanks Edgar! -Jenna, Jordan, and Rosita :)

Great experience!
This experience was well worth it! The tour itself was relaxing and beautiful. We saw three waterfalls, hiked up one of them to 150 feet, and hiked to another. There was also cliff jumping, a rope swing, and we beached it for a bit and had a delicious lunch prepared by the crew. We had Giovanni, Sullivan, nick or “Johnny”, and I believe his name was Nidir. They were great guides and very involved with the guests. They all grew up in the area and were very knowledgeable and encouraged guests to have fun. We will be back to do more tours with jungle splash eco tours.

Fantastic tubing in caves with a great guide, Jose
Jose was the best guide we’ve had traveling all over S America (more on him later). It’s a 35min drive to the Mayan site. Climb as much or as little as you want. The structures are impressive with panoramic views from the top. From there the drive to the river & caves is longish (1.5hr). About a 30 min walk up the river and then leisurely tubing down through huge caves. Tubing through the caves was phenomenal made even more enjoyable by our guide Jose. He shared interesting details about the caves, their evolving nature and intricate passages one could take if one wanted to. Jose was full of interesting little details of the flora and fauna of the region which he learnt growing up in the area. Above all he enjoyed the work he did and spread the joy to our party freely and frequently. I highly recommend him and the tour company he works for (sorry cannot recall the company’s name).

10/10 would do again!
The horses look very well cared for and in great health. They were also calm and not spooked easily. Our guide Carla obviously loved the horses and the Mayan history. She was very friendly and knowledgeable, and I learned a lot from her. The ride is a lovely path next to the river for most of the way, except for a small patch of road, but the horses didn’t mind the cars at all.
