Cave Tubing at Frank’s Eddy Village in western Belize is a popular 1.5-hour adventure located about an hour from the cruise port. The site offers gift shops, bars, restaurants, and changing rooms. Guests must wear secure river shoes; watershoes and Crocs are available for purchase or rent, along with waterproof phone pouches for underwater photos.

Participants receive life jackets, helmets with headlamps, both mandatory for cave entry. The experience begins with a 20-minute, 1-mile moderate jungle walk to the cave entrance, where tubes are ready. Tubes are tied into rafts of up to eight people per guide. The float includes 30 minutes inside a cave tunnel followed by 30 minutes on an open river back to the start. Swimming skills are not required.

Guides provide insights on cave formations and Maya ceremonial history, though this specific tunnel shows no ancient usage. During the dry season, the river is a slow “lazy river” with some shallow spots, but depths inside the cave can reach 30 feet. Participants must be at least 40 inches tall. The narrowest cave section is about 15 feet wide with a 10-foot ceiling above the tubes. The tour is a circuit, starting and ending at the same point, with a short 5-minute walk from parking to the river. Guests should only bring items they don’t mind getting wet.
