I loved this tour of Crystal Cave with Selwyn and Miguel! This trek was physically challenging, but worth it to see the beauty of the cave and the Mayan artifacts. Bouldering around the cave was hard, but the guides were so helpful in letting us know exactly where to step and when to get low for more stability. It was so cool to see the bits of ancient pottery just steps away from where we were climbing! For those who are considering this, there was very little sliding on your stomach, but lots of trying to keep your footing on slippery rocks. It was cooler in the cave than outside, but still humid enough to make me drip sweat. Hard work, but so rewarding! After leaving the cave, we went for a quick dip in a swimming hole, and then had a delicious lunch (rice and beans with chicken) and plenty of rum punch!

We did 3 tours with Belize Caving Expeditions with a discount. The First one was Crystal cave spelunking. Our tour guide Miguel who helped us navigate through the glittering cave was great. The second tour was zipline and cave tubing where we had Marlon as our guide. Marlon is another awesome guide who has a wealth of knowledge of cave and Mayan culture. Our third tour was ATM cave tour which was fun and adventurous. Gliss, our guide was great too. All in all, we had great experiences with Belize Caving Expeditions. Highly recommended.
