My husband and I visited on a shore excursion on Christmas day many years ago. Tubing through the caves with the group singing Christmas carols is one of my fondest memories.

Cannot rate this place highly enough. A drive out from Belize city. There are various ways and lengths of cave to experience. Although the caves are large, if you're claustrophobic you may not enjoy this. The history of the area is millennia old. It's called Nohoch Ch'een now. Those of us that went were family, and have family links in Belize, so we're lucky and had a 2nd cousin as our guide

Great day with the family. Get a guide, ask not to be tied up together. Seing a snake was bonus
