Which Cave Float Trip - Duplooys Jungle Lodge Belize
 
Leaving Friday for Duplooys and have options for different cave trips in the area and don't have much info about any of them. We want a float trip, not too strenuous, with interesting things to see. Any suggestions anyone? Thank you

I'm sorry I can't help with specific advice; you might want to check on the Belize Forum if you don't get sufficient response here: www.belizeforum.com

If you haven't considered it, check out this site about the ATM cave trip: http://pacztours.net/pages/tours/ATM.html

It's maybe more adventurous than you're wanting but wanting to be sure you were aware of it; it's one of the most amazing things we've done anywhere in the world. Happy trails!

Barton Creek canoe trip or river cave tubing at Jaguar Paw. I think ATM is far superior to both, but not a floating trip.

An update - we ended up going river cave tubing at Jaguar Paw and just loved it. We chose it because it was a shorter (3/4 day)trip and we both were too tired for a full day excursion. If going, I would suggest asking the guide to leave early. We left early to avoid the traffic in town for the Holy Saturday Cross Country Bicycle Race (a sight to see) and arrived at the caves before anyone else. It was just the two of us plus our guide alone in the caves until the end. Other guests at the lodge loved the ATM and if returning I would probably do that one. But it was an all day trip and got a late start and didn't get back until about 7 or 8 pm.

For future reference, you can ask for an early start for the ATM trip, too - a real advantage. We were back at our hotel in Santa Elena by 4pm, I think.
