Do you get soaking wet while cave tubing...from waves etc? What can I expect? Thanks!

lots of water

I can't swim, perhaps I should not take this excursion???

mostly shallow water, lots of tubing and wading. i don't remember any deep deep places. i'd ask the guides. no waves. its on rivers

In most places, Wende, the water is pretty shallow - and regardless of water evels, there are no waves at all. It's a relatively slow float and is some cases you must actually paddle harder to make headway, but not strenuously. Depending upon water levels, ya gotta lift your butt up to get from getting bumped on the underlying rocks (Ouch). Not to worry. Take it from someone who's done it numerous times with ppl of all shapes sizes and swimming skills. You'll have a great time!

there are no waves - the water level will depend on the time of year, but it is never really deep. You sit in an innertube and float slowly downstream, part of the way is through caves. In a couple of places the water was really shallow and we had to carry our tubes. The water was cool and refreshing after the hike through the jungle. It's a pretty easy trip and very worthwhile. I don't think there was any place more than about 4 ft deep and there are no rapids, the water moves prettly slowly. I highly recommend the trip!

Deacon, you should check it out when you make your first trip to SP this year - it's really not lots of water!

Hi, Marty!

Dang, K - you are just so quick on the draw!

Law, cool. I was just trying to be funny. My bad.

nah -not bad - I just think it's a trip you'd like - it's lots of fun!

hah - great minds huh L&M ?

Law, serious up? you know my condition. Could I do this? Sounds great.

Thanks everyone! I think I'll give it a try! Anyone going to be there May 23rd?

We were rquired to wear life jackets whether we were swimmers or not. So safety isn't a problem. When we made stops at "swimming holes" along the way, I removed the jacket to enjoy the water.

The water is lovely, cool and refreshing. Very relaxing.

Cave Tubing is only one part of the tour. You will have lots of fun.

The tour companies on the island offer three choices for Cave Tubing now. You can do Cave Tubing and Ziplining, Cave tubing and Belize Zoo or my favorite Cave Tubing and Xunantunich Mayan Ruin. I hope you enjoy your self on your tour. No matter what company you choose you will have lots of fun.
