The experience

You sit on a floating tube and drift downstream through lush jungle scenery, passing rock tunnels, shaded riverbanks, and tropical vegetation. The river is calm (no rapids, no paddling), so the focus stays on floating and taking in the surroundings. A professional guide leads the group, and after a short safety briefing you're equipped with a tube, helmet, and life jacket. The cave sections are the centerpiece: you float through natural formations carved by the river, moving at the water's pace rather than fighting it.

The combo options let you add an ATV ride to the same half-day. If you choose tubing plus ATV, you'll ride through muddy tracks, river crossings, and more jungle terrain after the water section, guided by experienced instructors. The ATV comes as a single rider or tandem (two people on one bike), so you pick based on who's coming with you. Both activities use the same 4-hour window, so the day stays compact.

Pickup from your hotel is included on the "with Transfer" and "All In" options. Other bookings ask you to meet at the location. Shower and changing facilities are available after you're done, along with a locker for your belongings. Mineral water is provided, and insurance coverage is built in. The guide speaks English and handles the safety briefing and pacing throughout.

Top questions

Can I be picked up at my hotel?

You can choose: pickup at your hotel, or go straight to the meeting point. When you book, you choose your hotel from 2,832 pickup locations; if yours isn’t listed, you can type in your address. Pickup is about 15 minutes before departure.

What's the difference between the cave tubing and the ATV options?

Cave tubing is a guided float down a calm river through jungle and natural cave formations on a tube: no paddling or steering. ATV riding is an active adventure through muddy tracks, rivers, and forest on a motorized quad bike. You can book either one alone or combine both in the same 4-hour outing.

Do I need to know how to swim or have rafting experience?

No. The cave tubing is beginner-friendly and designed for comfort. You float on a tube in calm water, not navigate rapids. A safety briefing covers everything you need to know, and a professional guide is with you the whole time.

What happens if I book the tubing and ATV combo?

You'll do both activities within the same 4-hour window: 3 hours split between the tubing and ATV sections, plus travel time between locations. The guide will brief you on safety for each activity and manage the pacing so everything fits.

What should I bring or wear?

Wear clothes you don't mind getting wet and bring a change for after. The operator provides a helmet, life jacket, and tube for tubing. Shower and changing facilities are available when you're done. Bring a towel if you have one, though you can request one on-site.

Can I do this if I'm pregnant or have a back injury?

The experience is not recommended for pregnant travelers or anyone with spinal injuries. If you have concerns about cardiovascular health or other conditions, check with the operator before booking.
