There are bath houses for changing with rest rooms and showers. You can change into your bathing suit after you arrive. You will be fitted with your inner tube, life jacket and headlights. You'll get instructions about what to expect before you head down the trail to the river.

An exciting and informative hike

You cross the river to start your rain forest hike. Your guide will tell you all about the flor (vegetation) and fauna (animals) as you go. Do not worry about the hike. Guides are very considerate and will rush no one, and if people need extra help they are ready and willing. The trails are well worn and easy to walk on.

And cave tubing begins!

We will always have a guide for every 8 or fewer guests. We will take care of people of all ages, including very small children who can ride with their parents if very small, and we have all size life-jackets and inner tubes. Weak swimmers and non-swimmers can be accommodated, and we will help them feel comfortable. We hook our groups together for security. Safety is our number one priority.
