ATM Caves - Worth the Challenge!
The ATM cave adventure with MayaWalk is a must do when visiting Belize! Our original plan was to go on a more leisurely cave tubing experience, but the more reviews I read about the ATM cave, the more compelled I felt to take a chance! Was it difficult? Yes in places - But our guide Junior was amazing and so patient and took our safety very seriously. He was also amazingly knowledgable and was showing us things both in and outside of the caves at every turn. It was awe inspiring to think that we got to walk through a cave that was formed millions of years ago and occupied by the Maya 1000s of years ago. The Cathedral is crazy beautiful! Shout out to our driver- Irvin- for navigating some rough roads and to Brittany for greeting us with a fantastic meal after we finished! We give the entire experience a 10 out of 10! My 20-somethng kids said they rank this as a top 5 life experience so far!

Amazing experience and...
Amazing experience and absolutely worth it. Even though the tour was only about 3 hours, it felt packed with so much history, culture, and incredible views. Xunantunich is truly stunning in person, and climbing the temples while learning about the Mayan civilization was such a memorable experience.
Pedro was an outstanding guide and honestly made the tour. He was knowledgeable, engaging, funny, and made everything easy to understand without it ever feeling overwhelming or scripted. You could tell he genuinely cares about giving people a great experience and sharing the history of Belize.
The entire tour was smooth, well organized, and the perfect activity. Highly recommend this tour, and if you get Pedro as your guide, you’re lucky!

Best tour guides ever!
My grandson and I had the best tour with Marvin and Leo! The history of the Mayans was so interesting. I learned so much. After a delicious lunch we started our trek up the hill for the cave tubing. I'm 75 years old and definitely not in the best of shape, but Leo stayed with me and encouraged me all the way up the hill. Once we got in the water it was everything I had imagined. The water felt great and the terrain was beautiful. Leo pointed out the different birds we saw. We then entered the cave and it was awesome! This was definitely the highlight of my trip to Belize.

Yes, book this you won’t regret it!
Yes, you should do this. Loved it! We were with a group of 5 total, plus our guide. The ATM cave was the first stop. Included a 30-40 minute nature walk with some river crossings to get to the entrance to the cave. Be prepared to get fully soaked! Once we got into the cave, it started with a short float/swim and then it was walking around up and over the limestone to go deeper into the cave. Very cool experience to climb on the rock, slide down the natural water slide and shimmy through tight spaces. Our guide was super helpful for anyone that was a bit nervous or hesitant In some of the more questionable sections. We felt safe the whole time.
Upon completion of the ATM cave exploration we had a chance to change into a dry outfit (so pack a full change of clothes and shoes). And lunch was waiting for us including a dry towel and waters. Our guide was knowledgeable and full of information and stories.
After eating lunch and changing, we got back in the van and headed to Xenantunich where we got another informative tour around. We did climb to the top, and there are no guard rails so if you’re afraid of heights, well let’s just say, you will be tested! It was very laid back here though and so no pressure to go all the way up.
Full Sun here so hat/sunscreen is smart.
Safety- we left our things in the van to go into the cave but the driver stayed back with it, so no issues.
The walk into the Mayan ruins was short, so easy to go in with a backpack with phone/water/sunscreen.
Yes bring extra clothes including socks and shoes. Sandals were fine for me for Xunantunich but some may prefer sneakers to climb in.

Bern!!! Bern!!! Bern!!!
My wife and I truly had an amazing experience on this tour esp because of Bern, who made the entire trip so memorable. We will definitely recommend this tour to our friends and family.
Bern was not only professional but he also went far above and beyond our expectations. He arrived 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled pickup time, welcomed us with a warm smile, introduced himself and gave us a detailed overview of the tour for the day.
We hopped into his very clean vehicle and made our way to Xunantunich. Throughout our visit, we never felt rushed. Bern was very informative, patient and made the experience enjoyable and relaxing.
On our way to the cave tubing adventure, we stopped for lunch, which was a nice addition to the day. The cave tubing experience itself was unforgettable. Inside the dark cave, we even got off our tubes to see the pottery left behind by the Mayans, which was truly incredible and made the experience even more special.
Throughout the entire tour Bern consistently provided us with water, fresh towels and a friendly smile.
We highly recommend this tour and we hope you get Bern as your tour guide because he truly made the experience exceptional.

Outstanding
Eddy our guide was so incredibly knowledgeable. Not just on the site but all of Belize culture. It’s fascinating. You can tell when you are out there that Mayawalk tours is a big step up from all the other tour companies. Better bus, lunch, guides, everything. This is a must do experience

You won’t regret it!
Wayne was our driver for the day and he was great! He provided us with information and entertainment on the drive. My kids loved him!
Hector was our guide for the tour! He was also top-notch. Full of information and dad jokes. He engaged our kids and encouraged them through the cave. There was a party of two who was with our group- the woman was in her 60s/70s and some impaired mobility. Hector encouraged her to join the cave exploration when she wanted to sit it out. He helped her over and through every obstacle we came upon.
Lunch afterwards was also SO GOOD! I would encourage everyone to book their tour with this group!

Best part of Belize trip
This was the best part of our whole trip to Belize! Giovanni was punctual and knowledgeable. He is also an amazing cook— our lunch on the pontoon was delicious! We enjoyed starting our day at the Mayan ruins before heading to the pontoons on the river. The whole day was more beautiful than we could have imagined! We enjoyed our time so much that we added on a sunset horseback ride with Roberto at their family’s property in the jungle. Wish we could relive this day again!!!

Tikal in April from San Ignacio
The tour started in San Ignacio our driver was very nice and walked us through the border and customs section in Belize. Prior to separating he pointed out our Guatemalan tour guide from a distance. Once through customs and border checks our Guatemalan guide Levi walked us through the same process on the Guatemala side. Once we arrived at Tikal Levi was very knowledgeable and his passion for the history of the site made the almost 6 mile walk with almost 71 flights of stairs seem less intense. The trip was amazing to see both uncovered and still yet covered historical structures. Our guide also walked us through the area where celebrations and cultural Matan events are still held to this day. The provided meal was phenomenal after so much walking.

Most amazing day!
This was an amazing day with a mix of laid back vibes on the pontoon boat to cool adventures like climbing up a waterfall.
The guides made the day- I’m a 57 year old woman who is not adventurous. The guides never left my side as we we swim, climbed and even got me to swing off a rope into the water.
Lunch was delicious and plentiful.
I loved this day even more than I thought I would.

A super fun day trip!
This was SO much fun. We loved swimming around in the cave and learning about its history. Our guide Angel was great! We really enjoyed him. The walk to put in was about 40 minutes, and pretty flat, we had to carry our own tubes, which wasn't hard at all, just putting it for info. Wear water shoes that are comfortable to walk in and probably ones with backstraps, there are rentals available near put in. It was nice to not have to be in a huge group. We saw some bats, toucans and other birds on the river. Lunch was delicious and we had a little time to look at the souvenir shops around. We did see a few coatimundi in the parking lot area which was fun! Bring your own towel! We had some time to dry on the sun cause other people in our group zip lined. But we would have been pretty damp still!

Bucket List Experience
What an amazing experience exploring the ATM cave. It was challenging and wet but unmissable. I am so glad I put up with a bit of discomfort to explore this extraordinary cave with Mayan artifacts preserved as found. Getting to the magnificent chamber is a feat in itself and I left with a feeling I could tackle any cave after this one!
