Very interesting tour through caves filled with water. No cameras allowed, as one person dropped a camera on a skull and broke it.

We used M&S Adventures out of San Ignacio. Our guide Renan is an original guide back to when the cave was first opened and his context, passion and knowledge of the history and culture of the Maya people is so moving. The tour was so amazing. We are mid-50’s and not necessarily in tip top shape- and while there were a few moments of pause (I don’t like heights) we managed quite well! I wore leggings and a tankini top which felt like the perfect combo for a day of being wet. Socks with water shoes are also key. Tip your guides! They work hard!

This was one of the best things we did while in Belize. We used Maya Walk tours and Juan Carlos was fantastic. Be ready for a physical day but it was 100% worth it!

Amazing! I was a little nervous at first about the tight spaces and cold water but didn’t have any problems at all. You can’t go to Belize without seeing the ATM caves! Only bummer is you can’t take pictures but I totally understand the reasoning.

This is a stunning tour that takes you through the jungles of Belize for several miles, then takes you down into a historic and meaningful cave for Mayan indigenous communities. It was a place where yes human sacrifice occurred, conducted in service to communities. It was - and still is - a place of significance for the Mayan people. The tour starts almost immediately with a river crossing, you will do this several times, often with roped assistance. Life vests are technically optional, but during the time we were there they were mandatory; apparently the currents were running strong. In that vein, the immediate dip in the water is great way to keep cool. There is mixed advice about what to wear especially on your feet as you'll be shoeless for part of the trip. Lots go with water shoes, or teva sandals to have lighter gear. At the advice of several people, I wore hiking boots and found that I was less concerned about where I was putting my feet with the good protection I had; they dried out quickly given their water repellent nature, and they weren't all that heavy in water. In addition, several people ended up almost entirely shoeless because of shoe problems with other types of shoes. You will come to a site after the 40 minutes (or 2 miles of walking, river crossing). This is your own chance for a restroom break take it, as it would be of poor taste to do so in the cave (and may actually be illegal). In the cave you will wade through water at various heights, take a short scramble before entering the sacred preserved sights. Wear the socks in this protected area, it will not be as difficult as you perceive.
It doesn't matter which tour service you use, just make sure that your tour transportation picks you up early and you arrive early to ATN. There are only about 27 licensed tour guides, they all have original certification, and have experience going in to at least a decade. Once all are matched with a group of 8 and they reach 125, there's no going back. In fact, it is generally not a good idea to try and wing this and arrive by car on your own, because the tour agencies have agreements that will make them much more amenable to those who come with a ride. . Come late and risk having your group split including couples. The guides work with each other to space groups, follow a strict code of conduct, and are very strong at providing clear directly. They can do so in English, Spanish, and probably other languages, given the orientation to Mayan culture.
I am mixed about the opinions of being physically fit. Sure, you can't be entirely out of shape, but there are a range of body shapes who can and did do well on this excursion. Skinny, of larger body size, short, tall. Height probably is probably an advantage given some of the last part of the scramble, but it's a wash for most other things. I think you must be comfortable with enclosed spaces (aka, a cave), you must be comfortable with water including water currents from river crossings and caves with life jacket, you must be comfortable taking directions from diverse people and be a good listener, and you must wear good shoes.
Don't bother figuring out how to get in a camera. Just soak it in and listen to the information about this beautiful cave and its rich history.

This tour was, without a doubt, the highlight of my trip. Our guide, Jam Jam, made all the difference. He was patient, knowledgeable, and most importantly, he made us feel safe.
Jam Jam walked us through every step of the tour, checking in with us to see how we were feeling, yet never making us feel weak or slow. He was enthusiastic about teaching us about the history and culture of the Maya civilization, and he made it fun. Even though I was initially anxious about how hard it was going to be, Jam Jam's guidance made it an enjoyable experience.
We met at the Maya Walk Tour office and took a shuttle to the ATM site. During the drive, Hugh gave us a very detailed explanation of what was to come, which gave me peace of mind. If you're a worry wart like me, I suggest you take the shuttle to get all the details. Some people met us at the store on the corner of ATM didn't get the same information, such as when to expect getting wet, when to leave your water, when to change, and how long each section would take.
Once we arrived at the site, we were able to take a water bottle with us up until we got inside the cave. At that point, we left it outside the cave. It was helpful to have a bottle that we could easily identify. The walk leading up to the cave was flat and easy. I wore cheap water shoes from Amazon and was comfortable both in and outside the cave. Shorts and a tank top were just fine. Don’t forget to bring socks for the part when you have to take your shoes off.
After the tour, we were treated to a delicious lunch. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience, and I cannot recommend this tour enough. Jam Jam, if you ever see this, thank you from the bottom of my heart! The tour inspired me to continue to learn more about the Maya civilization.
One side note: please remember to tip ALL your guides! They work hard to make your experience unforgettable.

The ATM cave is a truly unique and incredible experience! The travel to get there was totally worth it. There is a nice and easy path through the sub- tropical rainforest. We were worried it would be sweltering and filled with mosquitoes but it was actually cooler than the beach and no bugs bothered us. The adventure really kicked in once you enter the cave. Swimming and wading through the cool, clear water was amazing and the stalagmite and stalactite formations are stunning. The history is fascinating and being that close to the skeletons and cultural remains is like being Indiana Jones for a day. Our guide, Jam-Jam (Jamiere) was so knowledgeable! If your looking for an adventure on your Belize vacation- this is it!

Omg. I can’t believe they let regular folks get so close to the artifacts! This was so dope! Not recommended for people not physically fit, though!

Depends on your budget. Chaa Creek and Blancaneau are both luxe and closeby. Given that ther is nothing major really around ATM itself, I recommend staying somewhere nearer to San Iganacio which is a cute town full of stuff to do. I stayed at Table Rock Jungle Lodge and LOVED it. It's right in the jungle on the river and sleeping to the sounds of birds and holwer monkeys was memorable.

Being able to climb a jungle gym will be far more important than being able to swim well. While the water does get deep in places, there is no current whatsoever, and the guides provide life jackets for anyone who wants them (and it might be mandatory for little kids - there weren't any kids in our group, but we saw small children in other groups, and all of the kids were wearing life jackets.)

Hi
Is there an ATM tour where you can also go cave tubing?
Thanks

Hi Penny,
The answer depends on whether you mean cave tubing in the ATM Cave or elsewhere, but the answer is most likely a no.
There are plenty of restrictions within the ATM cave (both natural and man made). For instance, you will have to squeeze through many tight spaces that would be impossible to do with a tube. Because of government regulations you aren't even allowed to bring shoes and cameras inside (due to fears of the damage they can cause), so you can forget about tubes.
If you mean a tour that takes you to the ATM and then caving tubing elsewhere later on, that is possible, but unlikely since the ATM tour lasts pretty much an entire day by itself. At any rate, you would be better off booking them separately.

HI,
when you people say 'squeeze through rocks" is it really really a tight space? I have a tic of claustrophobia, but not so bad I wouldn't try- just trying to pre manage any fear. I am also very petite, so don't take up much space anyway. Thanks for any info!

There are a couple small squeezes, but they're brief. If you're a smaller person I would not think they'd be overly bothersome.
We are heading to San Ignacio in a few weeks. A few reviews have mentioned the hike is strenuous. I am really nervous for how difficult it will be. There were also a few reviews that mentioned there are really tight spaces you must squeeze through. I am in moderate shape and can swim, but am psyching myself out of doing the ATM cave after reading all the reviews. Would someone please elaborate as to the physicality of the hike so I know whether I will be able to manage the experience?

Hi Erica,
You absolutely will be fine. There are some tight spaces, but as long as you're not claustrophobic, you'll be good. (There's just a couple tight squeezes but most is wide open.) If you are claustrophobic, there may be some issues inside the cave itself in these couple areas. Otherwise the hike through the jungle, before and after the cave, is easy. The cave walking/ river walking is pretty easy too with shoes that have good traction and can get wet. I used my Keens and was totally fine. It's just the cave itself is mostly a river walk, which was really cool. I say definitely do it.

My girlfriend and I are planning to visit these caves next week. We have a car but are wondering if we can purchase tickets/guides there, or do we have to plan through an external organised tour? Thanks in advance!
