Best experience seeing the caves and the ruins. Our guide Flaco was very I formed and knew a lot fun facts about both the archeological Mayan temples and the caves we tubed in. The owner Dorian was also very friendly and accommodating to make us feel comfortable.

Xunantunich is a wonderful Mayan Ruin to visit. This makes the 4th Mayan Ruin that we have visited and it was well worth the rather long drive from Hopkins Bay. The lunch we had at the restaurant was called Pibble. Very interesting, and tasty. But as good as the ruin was I'm not sure it was better than the cave tubing (which was made extra special by our guide Orlin!) This part of the tour was very educational and enjoyable.
