Cave Tubing In Belize
We were loaded back on the bus for another short ride to take us to the river. When we got of the bus, we were given inner-tubes, and life-vests. A short walk later and we were crossing the river using a rope to steady ourselves. This also where the cave tubing trip would end.
We hiked through the Belize jungle for about half an hour. We passed through a small cave where we saw tiny fruit bats hanging from the ceiling. I also tripped over rock, and gashed my hand on a thorn covered tree.
When we reached the river, and people took pictures. The water was a beautiful emerald green. We climbed on to our inner-tubes, and began to float down the river. It was only a short distance to where we entered the limestone cave.
The water was very slow moving, so we used our arms to move us along. But over all the float trip was very casual. At points, I hooked my feet over the edge of my wife's tube, and towed her along with me so she could relax.
After a while, we exited the cave into the bright sunlight. We were surrounded by jungle again. The people from the cave tubing trip had gotten spread out now. The water was moving a little faster now, and we floated more casually without paddling as much. Soon we arrived at the spot in the river where we crossed using the rope. I exited the river, but my wife got stuck in a whirlpool. One of the worked helped get her out.
We boarded the bus, and were taken back to the restaurant. We got our clothes and stuff from the lockers, and changed into dry clothes. They gave us lunch which consisted of fried banana, rice and beans, roasted chicken, potato salad and a fruit drink. I didn't like the fried banana, but the rest of the food was fantastic! We relaxed here for about an hour, before board the bus back to the ship. I whole heartedly recommend trying cave tubing if you get down to Belize.
