What an awesome experience we had with Vitalino and his son on our Cave Tubing Adventure!!! The forest, river, and caves are absolutely beautiful.

We were traveling on Carnival Legend Cruise Ship and did not want to book with the ship due to the 100's of people that book through them. We wanted a more quiet and organized trip. Our trip was May 15, 2008.

I got Vitalino's information off of Trip Advisor and am sure glad that I did. The cost was much less, we got to go through an extra cave, we were in a small group, we had lunch and even drinks at the end. You had a choice of beer, soda, water, or what I chose was the Rum Punch which was the best Rum Punch I've ever had. We stopped for lunch at a local restaurant and the food was great (only $5.00 extra) The total trip (including lunch) was $50.00 pp and it was well worth it.

We had personalized guides that helped us whenever needed it. They even carried the ladies tubes when needed. What I really liked about the trip were the little things that Vitalano and his son pointed out to us on the hike to the river. We got to taste some of the plants and we even ate TERMITES ! They were small and tasted like mint.

Judy, who does the scheduling for Vitalano, was a pleasure to work with. Once you contact her via email she responds quickly and lets you know exactly what you need to do to book the trip and meet up for the tour. I gave her my phone number and Vitalano even called me to see if I had any questions or concerns.

If I ever go to Belize again, I will surely look up Vitalano again to do the cave tubing, but will also add some of the other fun stuff that he also does. Such as the Mayan Ruins, Belize Zoo, Zip-lining, etc.

The only bad thing about our trip was that it ENDED TOO SOON!
Thanks again Vitalano, Jr. and Judy

I just came back from Belize and I have to say that the cave tubing adventure and tour of Altun Ha with Vitalino were the highlights of our trip. I'm convinced that Vitalino knows everything about everything-my friend and I were hard pressed to find a question that he couldn't answer (and believe me we tried!). We were so inspired by his spirit of adventure that we ended up conquering several of our fears that day-my friend who is deathly afraid of heights, spiders, and ants climbed to the top of two Mayan pyramids, wore a tarantula on her hat and ate a termite straight from the hive!

Vitalino took us to the depths of hell and back and I mean that literally, we were in the first level of the Mayan underworld in a cave so dark that you couldn't see your own hand in front of your eyes. It was completely thrilling! It could have been scary, but Vitalino's sense of humor and easy going nature turned the experience into a great adventure.

Everything about our experience with Vitalino was great-from booking the tour with his assistant Judy, who was extremely helpful and quick to respond to all my emails, to the actual tour itself. Vitalino was able to accomodate our last minute request to do two tours in one day, and even showed up early to pick us up from the ferry terminal. We had such a great time that we ended up eating dinner with him and his little son, and they even dropped us off at our hotel afterwards!

If you are a women or several women travelling together I would highly recommend booking with Vitalino. We ran into some shady tour operators who tried to lure us into ditching out on Vitalino's tour with lower prices. I can't tell you how happy I am that I didn't cave into the temptation to save 10 or 20 bucks. One of those guys ended up practically stalking us. When you're spending all day in a foreign country with a man you're never met, the last thing you want to worry about is being leared at when you're in your bathing suit or felt up when you're in a dark cave. Vitalino was personable and fun but extremely professional. I really can't say enough about what an amazing time we had!

We were in Belize last May 1, 2008. We decided to join Vitalino's group based on all the reviews we saw in TripAdvisor. And we don't regret doing so.

Vitalino's group is really great. They were very accommodating and made sure that our group is well taken care of. Vitalion's group is one of the best I joined and I highly recommend that you join them when you go to Belize.

I booked this tour prior to our cruise and saved about 1/2 the price the cruise boat was charging. Vitalino was waiting as promised at the pier and the tour was better than I had ever expected. We were the first group out on the private tour.We had 6 people so we were treated to a more personal experience than a large group that the cruise boats draw. We also toured 2 caves and the cruise boat only went through one. Our lunch was also included.

As a tourist we are all skeptical of booking on line. He did not require a charge card number to make reservations and I paid cash for our tour the day of our arrival. Vitalino and his son were the most gracious of hosts, as we had a wonderful and memory filled time in Belize.

My husband and I are considering a land vacation to Belize in the future and he told us that he would be avalible for other types of tours as well. I will be in contact with Vitalino again!!!!
