No doubt, this is the best use of your time in Belize!

Our guide, Edward of Belize Caving Expeditions was the best. My wife and I are 65 and needed special attention to make sure we negotiated the climbs and passages in the cave safely. His focus on safety was unfailing. Without his watchful eye, we would not have come thru unscathed. The cave was amazing on so many levels. It was breath takingly beautiful, scientifically educational, historically interesting, and even morbidly facinating. It is well worth the physical and mental challenges you have to overcome. During our vacation we went to Tikal, Lammai, sailing to Caye Tabacco, snorkeled, saw manatees, etc., but this was the best thing we did. It will be the highlight of your trip to Belize.

This ATM Cave tour was the single most amazing experience of this trip to Belize. The guides were friendly, helpful, courteous and extremely knowledgeable on the Mayan subject matter. The artifacts, sacrificial remains and accompanying information was riveting. The caving experience was much more than strolling through the water in a cave and was so fun.
Amazing experience. ...

This was one of the coolest things we have ever done. It was a lot more challenging than we ever expected, but our guide Manuel gave great instructions and encouragement. The guides can't take more than 8 in each group. We were lucky to get tickets. Unlike anything in the US, once we made it to the dry cave we were a hands reach from the artifacts. I didn't expect there to be so many. A great lunch after. We recomend this.
Amazing! Once in a lifetime experience! You CAN do it!

Incredible! This tour challenged everything I had in me! Our guide Abraham even brought me back from the brink of a claustrophobic freak out to do the entire cave tour. Bring shoes to get wet, wear shorts that will stand up to sliding down rocks on your rear end, and trust your guide to show you the wonders of the cave. I still can't believe we did it! If I did it on my 52nd Birthday with my 11 year old kid you can do it too! It is AMAZING!
An unforgettable Belizean experience

One of the best travel experiences in my life

This ranks among the best travel experiences of my life, and I’ve traveled a lot. It’s almost hard to believe that what you are seeing is real, but real it is, and the only way to believe is to see it with your own eyes. Patrick was a phenomenal tour guide in every way. He was funny, extremely knowledgeable, extremely capable maneuvering in the cave (and helping all of us to do the same), and obviously loved his work and his home country of Belize. I can’t recommend this tour enough, but I do recommend specifically requesting Patrick as your guide. I heard through the grapevine that he is one of the best, and it’s hard to imagine anyone being better.
Amazing Experience

ATM is definitely a must do when visiting Belize. Our guide Glis was super knowledgeable about Mayan history, and even taught us a few words. The pacing was awesome, and it was an exciting but safe experience. Highly recommended!!
So Cool!!

Eduardo was the most amazing tour guide ever!! He was very friendly and very knowledgeable about everything we saw in the cave and walking to and from the cave. It was neat to go through a cave that had water in it. At times it was only ankle deep, but in a few places, it was up to my chest and at least one place, I had to swim. I had a long sleeved quick-dry shirt on over my swimsuit which I was grateful for because I got a little chilly in the cave because I was wet for so long. Lunch afterward was delicious. This tour IS NOT as hard as all the descriptions make it out to be. The hike before and after is essentially a nature walk and the climbing in the cave was not difficult at all. I totally recommend this tour! It was amazing!!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
