Wonderful.
I can't put into words on how fun and beyond my expectation this was to me. Captain Phillip was the best tour guide anyone could ask for. The weather was perfect enough we got to see manatees, sea turtles, beautiful corals and much more. Whether with someone or solo, I'll recommend every time! Lunch was provided and had extra stops to snorkel, I can't thank you guys enough! 10/10s across board!

Excellent experience from this tour operator!
This tour is a must-do when in Belize and was definitely the highlight of an amazing trip. The process to book the tour was simple. The team at Salt Life Eco Tours were excellent, our tour guides made it truly a wonderful and engaging experience for everyone. Great value for money.
I would suggest that if you are not experienced snorkeling or you aren't a strong swimmer, make it a point to let them know and have them double check that your gear is in order.

Bucket List Snorkel Excursion with Safe and Experienced Guides!
Captain Brian and Victor were excellent tour guides! They took great care to make sure the experience was memorable. They both grew up in the waters around Caye Caulker and their knowledge showed that! They were professional but very friendly and welcoming.
We fed tarpon, frigates and snorkeled with nurse sharks, Hol Chan and a shipwreck. It was the highlight of our trip to Belize.
I definitely feel that we got MORE than our money's worth!

Excellent cave tubing!!!
NAZ was an amazing tour guide. We had a lot of fun and his knowledge was second to none. Everyone was friendly at lunch and is worth the trip.

Cave Tubing in Belize with V.i.V.Ahavah_D, Aug 2026
The cave tubing tour was...
The cave tubing tour was Naz was a lot of fun! He had so much knowledge about Belize so we learned alot of history on the way to the caves as well. We even had opporunities to explore deeper in the caves (at that point we were tired lol). Naz as a guide provided a fun experience, joked with us, and made us feel welcomed. 10/10 recommend.

Caves River Kayaking, Explore More with V.i.V.I6434FZmichaelp, Aug 2026
First time in the caves.
I had a fantastic time with them. There level and care and experience. No rush their priorities were our safety and then having a good time. They picked us open at the Ft. George and dropped us off. By the end of the day they felt like friends

Go ahead & book it!
We had the best time on the last leg of our trip ending in Belize City. We booked a tour through Explore More w/VIV. Half of us went tubing & the other half went kayaking. We had a very instructional hike through the jungle & really enjoyed the sites and history kayaking through the caves. If you are not into rowing against the current at times & maneuvering while paddling most of the time, I would suggest tubing. We had a delicious lunch after & it was very much worth the cost! Our instructors were fantastic!

Thrilling Zipline Adventure at Bocawina RainforestrobbF3566LO, Aug 2026
Great day out, just expect to be tired.
The adventure was quite exhausting. It required quite a bit of trekking through the rain forest. By the end of the day, I was completely spent. The guides were amazing, friendly and extremely competent. The ziplining itself was thrilling. I would do it again for sure, but I would recommend you be somewhat fit due to the heat and the hiking.

Thrilling Zipline Adventure at Bocawina RainforestN7998FEamyb, Aug 2026
Loved the experience, views, and guides
Andreas and Victor were knowledgeable and hospitable guides. They shared interesting historical and cultural tidbits while on the tour. They provided water twice along the way. Very accommodating of our kids. We felt very safe and saw amazing views along the way. Well worth the money for an experience of a lifetime.

Jungle Zipline & Waterfall Rappelling – Bocawina FallsKristen_D, Jul 2026
Great adventure!
Beautiful hike where we saw plants we’d never seen before. Waterfall repelling was definitely the hardest part of the adventure with the slick rocks but this 45 yr old mom and my teen boys (14 and 18) made it. I’d say younger than 14 may have issues standing back up after falling with the water pounding you. Ziplining was great- the guides do all the clipping in and out for you and took the time to show you safety protocols so we always felt safe. Cool to hear howler monkeys in the distance

Cave Tubing & Zipline Adventure with LunchtanyamQ7626DB, May 2026
An Adventure for even the most chicken!
Tour was fabulous! The tour guide, Jose, was very knowledgeable of the area and gave us a thorough history of Belize on the way there and back (1.5 hours each way). They had the zip lining down to a science. You moved through the jungle quickly and I felt like each technician was knowledgeable and safety conscious. Our guide throughout the hiking and tubing was a wealth of information about the vegetation and cave, also. The lunch was relaxing and delicious.

Jungle Zipline & Waterfall Rappelling – Bocawina FallsJason B, Dec 2025
Great day trip with awesome guides!!
My wife and I loved the Zipline and waterfall repelling tour! The guides were awesome - very friendly, professional and knowledgeable (bonus - learned about different birds, animals, and fauna). We even saw howler monkeys! Bocawina is a really beautiful rainforest, so the scenery was great! Make sure to bring LOTS of bug spray though and good shoes for hiking and getting wet. The Zipline was awesome - you get to ride 9 different lines with the longest being over 1300 feet. The rides take you through the middle of the trees - beautiful and fast! This was just a great day overall!!

Hol Chan Snorkeling with Chris & Alexis from Salt Life Eco Tours
Best snorkeling experience I’ve had by far! The reef was vibrant and full of aquatic variety. The tour guides, Chris and Alexia were entertaining, informative, and helpful in pointing out the marine life we would have missed on our own. They knew all the best spots in shark alley, the reef, the turtle and manatee locations, and more. I will make the return trip to snorkel with these guides next time in Belize.

If you’re thinking about booking, do it!
I had an AMAZING time with Salt Life Tours! 🌊🤿 Elvis and Keys were absolutely the best. They were so patient with me because I’m a pool swimmer, NOT an ocean swimmer 😂😂. They made me feel comfortable, kept me informed, and made the whole experience such a vibe!By about the second jump in, I was feeling like a PRO! 😂🙌🏽 The experience was so much fun, and I’m already looking forward to coming back and doing it all over again.If you’re thinking about booking with Salt Life Tours, DO IT! You won’t regret it. Thank you, Elvis and Keys, for making this such an unforgettable experience! 💙🌊

Cave Tubing in Belize with V.i.V.Eric_P, Aug 2026
Didn't need to book through the cruuise line to get one of th ebest and secure feeling shore excursion!
I've done around 50 shore excursions over the last 25 years, and this one easily lands in my top three of all time.To make things interesting, the weather wasn't cooperating, and the ship's tenders got us to shore about 50 minutes late. I was worried we'd miss the tour, but they waited for us... and it turns out there were six other delayed passengers too. That level of customer service set the tone right away.Finding them at the port was incredibly easy. They were standing right in the middle with a big sign, practically impossible to miss. If you've ever done independent excursions before, you know that isn't always the case. Sometimes you're playing a real-life game of "Where's Waldo?" while checking text messages and hoping you're in the right spot. Not here.I'll admit, I was a little nervous about spending 90 minutes floating through a cave on an inner tube. The thought of being underground for that long sounded a bit intimidating. Thanks to our guide, that nervousness lasted maybe three minutes. The remaining 87 minutes were nothing but fun. The cave itself was incredible, and the small-group atmosphere made it feel like a private tour with lots of one-on-one interaction.After the tubing adventure, they provided a nice lunch at no extra cost, which was a great touch.One thing to know: if you're visiting this port and want to do something truly memorable, expect about an hour drive in a van. The ride was perfectly fine, although the van may have been auditioning for a role as a bouncing castle and could probably use some new shocks.Most importantly, every concern I had about booking with an independent operator instead of a cruise-line excursion was completely debunked. The organization, communication, service, and experience were all outstanding.I would absolutely book with this company again and would be thrilled to get Abner (sp?) as our driver and guide. He did a fantastic job and was a huge part of what made this excursion so memorable.Bottom line: If you're on the fence about this excursion, stop thinking and book it. It was one of the best shore excursions I've ever done. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
