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!!!

My husband and I joined Giovanni on the jungle and waterfall excursion on his pontoon boat. First I have to say that he was very personable and had a great sense of humor. During the trip we saw howler monkeys, crocodiles and a whole wide variety of birds including toucans! To begin we went on a short hike to a beautiful waterfall and swam in a crystal clear pool. From there we headed upriver as he prepared lunch aboard the boat. We then made it to a second site and docked while eating lunch directly in front of a triple waterfall! After lunch we were able to dive off the second story of the boat into the deep pools beneath the waterfalls. Giovanni even climbed up the rocks and jumped off to join us! We then were off to make a quick stop to see the dam that creates electric power for much of Belize. Next was the final waterfall of the day with calcium rich pools and crystal clear water complete with tiny fish that swam all around us. My husband and I both thought the trip was amazing and well worth making a day out of. Giovanni really knew the area having grown up on the very piece of land we launched from. He knew a lot of the cultural history of the waterways and was great at helping us imagine the significance the river highway system provided to inhabitants over time. We would both recommend checking this out and give it a solid 10 stars. Thanks Giovanni!

This is a fantastic, educational experience. You have to admire a process that can handle 300 visitors per day, every day of the year, and still keep the cave in great shape. The water is even clear. The cave is dripping with beautiful formations and crammed with historical artifacts, and our guide did a great job of bringing it to life.
