Over the years, Cave Tubing in Belize has gained vast popularity and is now by far the most requested tour due to the combination of Mayan Underworld, Jungle settings and Cave Exploration, all while floating down an inflatable tube. There are only two places in Belize where Cave Tubing can be done, St. Herman's National Park and Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve. St. Hermans National Park is located more to the south of Belize, along the Hummingbird Highway. Here you get to tube only one cave, which is not as big as the ones at Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch, but you will get a good experience like wise.
On the other hand, Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve, is located about 40 minutes from the Philiph Goldson International Airport, about 30 minutes from Belmopan and San Ignacio. Nohoch Che'en is the #1 destination favored by most guests, this is due to its location and the huge cave systems and the Caves Branch river flowing through 5 caves, and you get to tube through three of this caves. The Caves Branch river is famous for its incredible cave systems, including the legendary Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) Cave — a must-visit spot for anyone seeking a mix of adventure and archaeology. 90% of all the Cave Tubing companies in Belize take their guests to Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch for the tubing, there are various names that are given to this place like, Jaguar Paw, Caves Branch Outpost, Caves Branch Caves, Nohoch, and the list goes on.
