Barton Creek Cave

Rudy was an incredible tour guide offering lots of historical information and facts about the local flora and fauna that have impacted the lives of Belizeans for generations. Rudy shared all of this information while artfully navigating the canoe and pointing out key elements. We learned a great deal and would certainly recommend!

We are extremely satisfied with our Barton Creek canoe tour. Our guide Rudy was incredibly knowledgeable, and also patient, as we brought our 4 year old daughter with us. He began right away when he picked us up, explaining the local culture and wildlife. We were so impressed with his extensive knowledge of the local flora and fauna, as well as the Mayan history and culture. His narration was interesting and created a calming, even spiritual experience for our family. Finally, we really appreciated his patience and kindness. Even when our daughter began to fidget and squirm (she was sitting in the canoe for over an hour), he stayed calm and allowed her to splash in the water. I would recommend this tour to anyone traveling with children- it was much more accessible and gentle than other cave touring options.

Tour was great! Everyone was nice and the views were amazing. Zip lining was a blast and jungle was beautiful. Dennis and William made us feel very safe and they were so professional. Our tour guide Giovanny was so informative, very nice guy. Highly recommend!

Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We were picked up on time in a nice vehicle. I love that our guide was flexible and switched the order of the trips based on the weather to give us the best experience. The cave was really neat and a unique experience but I did crave a little more adventure and opportunity to be a more active participant. The Ruins were amazing but plan for a slower pace to absorb all the information the guides have to share. Would definitely recommend the tour company for good service and reliability.

Rudy was one of the most knowledgeable and kind people I’ve ever met. When he picked us up, he spent the entire drive to Barton Creek teaching us about the ecology of the jungle, about local culture, and about Mayan history. Every question we asked, he had an answer and often a story. Once we arrived at the cave, Rudy told us captivating Mayan creation stories that explained why the Mayans adventured into the caves and held the beliefs they did. His narration was so enrapturing that our entire group was silent for most of the tour. We saw several Mayan ceramics and one skull in the cave. Once we left the cave, we swam in the blue hole outside which was an absolute blast. I would 100% do this tour again, especially if Rudy was our guide.
