Barton Creek Cave Tour PhotoBarton Creek Cave Tour Photo

Canoe down Barton Creek to see an enormous and mystical cave that played an important role in local Maya culture. Once you paddle inside, it’s easy to see why the Maya chose this awe-inspiring cave as a site for ceremonies. Guides on this half-day tour are well-versed in Maya history as well as natural history.

The interior of the cave shifts from room to room—in some places the ceilings are high and cathedral-like, while in other spots the ceiling is quite low. The tour ends at a spot where you can swim around the Barton Creek waterfalls. You can arrange for guides to bring along a packed lunch.
Note: Participants should be comfortable being in fairly confined spaces.

What to Bring

Hat, extra clothes, water, insect repellant, camera and raingear if needed.

What's included

Guided canoe tour and the option of a packed lunch.
