Upon arrival you will be given a safety briefing and outfitted with safety gear that includes a body harness, pulleys, helmet and gloves. After you are fully geared up and checked, your tour then starts off with a short educational hike up to the first platform. Here a new world unfolds as you gently slide along on a steel cable to the next tree platform. All tours are escorted through the forest canopy by a lead guide and a follow guide to ensure your safety. The guides explain the different areas of the ecosystem you are experiencing. Your tour will take you over eight platforms. Along the way you will enjoy the birds eye view of our beautiful pristine ecosystem. When you arrive on the last platform you will then need to repel to the ground. The tour will take approximately two hours. After taking a break for lunch you begin your next adventure. The journeybegins at the front of the hotel where the guide will give you a brief explanation of the tour and give you your equipment. You will first cross the clear blue Caves Branch River and hike through the jungle led by the guide who is fully knowledgeable, and who will point out flora and fauna along the way. He will also answer any questions that you may have. After about an hour you will get into the river with your inner tubes and begin the ride through 5 cave tunnels back to the originating point. Along the way you will be able to see the stalagmites and stalactites that the cave system has. Also, as you tube, you will be able to go further into the cave and view small rooms that were once used by the Mayas that have beautiful formations.
