    Is lunch included on this tour?
    Yes. A traditional Belizean lunch is included as part of the full day tour.
    Should I worry about seasickness?
    The water taxi ride is generally smooth as it runs inside the protected waters of the Belize Barrier Reef. If you are prone to seasickness, take preventative medication before boarding.
    What should I wear for the early morning boat ride?
    Mornings on the water can feel cool, so bring a light jacket or windbreaker for the boat ride. Wear your swimsuit under comfortable clothing for the cave tubing later in the day.
