“The Spirit of the Natural Adventure”
Cavetubing Pioneers
Would you like to experience The Spirit of the Natural Adventure? That is our goal here at cavetubing.bz. My name is Vitalino Reyes, and I have been a Licensed Tour Guide in Belize since 1998 and have been doing tours since 1995. I would like for you to experience Belize as nature made her, as natural as possible.
My tour company is Vital Nature and Mayan Tours, Ltd., and we offer tours for almost all attractions on the mainland. We can provide tours to Maya sites, including Tikal in Guatemala, The Belize Zoo, “the best little zoo in the world”, jungle walks, day and night, and almost anything on the mainland that you may be interested in.

Cave tubing is my specialty and my favourite. Belize is one of the few places in the world to offer cave tubing, and it is the most popular tour available for cruise ship passengers. Many say the cave tubing tour with our company is the best tour during their entire cruise. And we want to stress that safety is high on our priority list for our cave tubing trips.
Our vans have passenger liability insurance and our guides are all very good drivers. Additionally the vans have air-conditioning and a public address system. They are newer model vans, and we check and clean them after every trip, and they are ready for the next tour in tip-top shape.
"To Hell and Back!"
One of the interesting things about cave tubing is found in Mayan mythology. The Mayas considered caves as the entrance to the underworld, called Xibalba. Roughly translated, it means “Place of fear” and it was like their “hell”. So when you finish cave tubing, you can say “I’ve been to hell and back!”
"To Hell and Back!"
Safety
Always the first consideration in design and operation and our number one priority.

To enjoy a zipline and a cave tubing tour, time is a major consideration, especially for cruise ship passengers. We are skilled in managing your time so you enjoy all your events.

Our zipline adventure is a personal and professionally operated tour on a site right off the main road down to Caves Branch (Nohoch Che’en).
Customer Satisfaction
Guaranteed! This is a most important thing for us; tell us how you liked it, or what we could do to improve. This is the major reason why we are flourishing.
Our Guides
Your cavetubing.bz tour will be with genuine Maya Belizean guides who are licensed. I personally train all of them to assure they are treating our guests and the environment properly. For several years I have trained many cave tubing guides. Some of them are now doing cave tubing with other companies or on their own.
The guides with cavetubing.bz are in the caves practically every day. Some cave tubing guides are in the caves fewer times a week. The only time we do not go in is when the caves are flooded and this is not very often. And during the rainy season we continually check the caves to be sure the water levels are safe. We will know a day ahead of the scheduled tour if the caves are flooded, and alternate tours will be offered.
I’ll be happy to communicate and book a tour for you by email. Write to me at vitalinoreyes@gmail.com. Please send your name, your phone number, the date you plan to be in Belize, and I will give you a call. Or you can call me at +501-602-8975. This is my cell and WhatsApp number, and I may be in the caves during the day so leave a message and a number.
Belize is always on Central Standard Time, we do not have daylight savings hours.
Note: Children must be at least 40 inches (101.6cm) tall to go on the Cave Tubing tour at the Nohoch Che’en Archaeological Site. If they are shorter than that, the alternative is River Tubing. It is the same river, same equipment, but they don’t enter the cave system.
