This area was included to give the answers to questions we often get. We have attempted to include as much information as possible on the pages in our website, but we might have overlooked some things, or some smaller details. We will be adding questions and answers as needed.
General Questions
YES, we do ATV tours. We have designed our own tour to avoid disturbing the environment as much as possible. Ask us about it.
We do not actually do pick-ups from locations on the cayes, but it’s very easy for you to catch a water taxi over to the mainland for tours. We suggest you use the San Pedro Express Water Taxi. They seem to provide the fastest service. We like for you to take the first one over in the morning. And the guides will be there to meet you when you arrive. When you contact us, please tell us where you are staying on the cayes, which hotel, resort, or other lodging.
Our tours are not like at Disney World or other tourist attractions, where you join up with lots of other people. We do not schedule them at a certain time with a certain itinerary. Our tours are designed for the individuals who are inquiring, and we are very flexible. Tell us what you are interested in and we will see what we can do to accommodate you.
For cave tubing we can arrange to meet you at Caves Branch. We can give you the cave tubing tour of your choice, for any length of time. We provide head lights, inner tubes, life jackets, and the guide. We do need to know the date and time you will arrive at the site.
If you like and you have room in your vehicle, we can provide a guide with a cost per diem and you provide everything else, transportation, entrance fees, food, and refreshments.
We will work out a tour itinerary that best fits with your plans. Some people fly in to the international airport, head out to Cayo, and stop for cave tubing on the way. We are very flexible.
My name, Vitalino, it is pronounced vee tah LEE no. Many people just call me Vital, pronounced vee TAHL.
Cave Tubing Questions
For cruise ship passengers, we do 3, the most of any one. For other tours, we can arrange to do as many caves as the time you have allowed, 5 is a good number for a long tour. We are very flexible. We love cave tubing!
The hike is not strenuous, and the paths are well worn and smooth. You will not be pushed to go faster than is comfortable for you. Our guides will assist as needed, like carrying your tube if you need us to.
Cruise Ship Questions
Yes! We are very happy to do a tour for you when you are stopping in Belize on your cruise. For details click here.
For our tours, we do not ask for a deposit. So there is no problem if your ship does not make it to Belize, there is no money to refund. For tours that require special arrangements, a combination tour or a large group, we may call to get a credit card number to secure the tour, but we would not make any charges unless you did not show up AND did not inform us that you were cancelling. Then we would only charge what our expenses were, not the cost of the tour.
Yes, we are very conscientious about getting you back to the ship on time. That is why we ask you to get off the ship early (included when you book and receive instructions on how to meet up with us) so we can avoid the big crowds and get you back in time.
No, first, we plan our cruise ship tours early, which allows for problems. We know when the different cruise ships leave, and we have back-up plans for problems. All our guides have working cell phones on the day of the tour, and can always call for help, if needed.
