Our expert guides will lead you through the lush rainforest to the Nohoch Chen cave network, where you'll paddle your own kayak through crystalline river systems and awe-inspiring limestone chambers.

Inclement Weather Concerns: we get hourly weather updates as to the condition of water levels at the rivers.

Sometimes its raining around the cruise line and coastal areas, and the rivers are fine.so we go ahead and do the tour as scheduled. only if the rains are in the mountains and right now the rivers are low and we need more water in the rivers then the float will be better, last week the kayaks were getting stuck in the lower parts of the rivers. if the rains are in the mountains and more than normal and the water rises and we can not take up the kayaks , then we use tubes to do cave tubing.plus the Crystal Caves... if the rangers in the mountain top measure more than usual water then the caves system are closed for all activities....we have the zipline tour. or the altun ha Maya site tour or refund for not participating on the alternate tour.
