Excellent tour experience
Booked the cave tubing tour and it was excellent. Just our group and the guide - no crowds, went at our own pace. The caves are beautiful with amazing formations. Floating through in the tubes with headlamps is so peaceful and unique. Guide was great, very knowledgeable about the cave geology and Maya history. Well worth it!
