Cave Rafting and Kayaking Adventure

Everyone knows about Belize cave tubing, but less is known about running this famous underground river by kayak and raft, because so few companies have the equipment. Slickrock has been conducting this underground river tour of the Caves Branch River in Belize since 1991, using both kayaks and rafts to explore this incredible underground river. The problem with cave tubing in Belize is that the runs have to be extremely short as this river is too shallow to allow an unimpeded float. Slickrock Adventures is the only company to use kayaks and rafts to run the whole section of caves.

 

We also have a web page about a caving trip that does not involve river gear.

Belize's Premier River Cave

The Belize Cave Branch River (view from the put-in, shown at right) flows through four caves on its course from the Maya Mountains to its confluence with the Sibun River. Slickrock puts-in near Ian Anderson's Caves Branch Jungle Lodge. If you are interested in Belize cave tubing, you may contact them; they offer cave tubing rather than rafting and kayaking. After the put-in you paddle through several miles of jungle and orange groves before arriving at a rugged section of hills that have eroded into what is known as karst topography.
