Any current Cave-Tubing reports? (Water Level?)

[Lizzzys]

We are coming to Belize in May and are thinking about Cave Tubing but read a trip report from someone who said that they didn't enjoy it because the water lever was so low they had to be dragged through the river by the guides. Is this still the case? How bad are the bugs??

Thanks! :)

We were there April 22nd and the water level was down to where they pulled us a few places, no swift running water anywhere. We still enjoyed it but deeper water would be better. Our guide told us that a two or three inch rain in the mountain would bring up the water level to a float all the way through. Even with the dragging I would do it again. We did not use Major or minor Tom.

Warning: Do not use Major Tom in Belize. We just got back on the Legend on 5/30. We booked with him for zip line & cave tubing. The cave tubing was cancelled. This is where we should have walked away. Instead they told us we had time to do the Altun Ha excursion and the zip line. What they don't tell you is that they are on opposite sides of the country. Some of our group was only going to Altun Ha. Because of Major Tom's greed, he took us to both sites. We were on the bus for approximately 1 1/2 hours each way to the mayan site and then 1 hour each way to the zip line. Long story short....we made it back to the last tender at 4:02. It was supposed to leave at 4:00. They even stopped roadside for lunches, because they didn't want to refund any money at 2:45 PM. No one ate the lunch, because we were all scared about missing the boat. We told them to go on, but Major Tom had insisted they get our lunch, so he wouldn't have to refund any money. Please do not take the chance of using this company. The zip line portion at Jaguar Paw was wonderful. Our guides of Ronnie & Israel were great.

During rainy season, it only takes a little rain to make the river level rise. If there has been no rain, it will be lower! If there has been a lot of rain, the tour will be subject to being canceled for safety reasons.
