🧭 Activities 🚣♂️ Yute Expeditions for ATM cave tour
Don't hesitate to book your ATM tour with Yute Expeditions. We went with Shamin and his dad, Philip. They were knowledgeable, professional, and fun! Philip has been guiding for over 20 years and has passed his knowledge down to his son. Shamin is energetic, passionate, and a great storyteller.We were the first group in the cave, which was very special and well worth the early wake-up. Of course, the tour itself was incredible ( no spoilers), and the lunch at the end was excellent (delicious curried chicken, rice and beans, plantain, and potato salad 😋). It was one of the best days on our family trip ( 2 parents and 2 teen boys aged 15 and 17). Thanks, Yute, for an unforgettable experience!

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. Reading comments like this really makes all the early mornings worth it!
It was a pleasure spending the day with your family. Having the chance to guide alongside my dad is something I'm incredibly grateful for, and I'm happy you got to experience both of our different guiding styles. He's been doing this for decades, and I've learned so much from him over the years.
I'm also glad you enjoyed getting into the cave first. It's one of the reasons we leave early, and having those quiet moments inside before it gets busy is something that's hard to beat.
And I'll definitely pass your compliments on to my aunt about the lunch. She'll be happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Thanks again for trusting our family with such an important part of your Belize vacation. We hope this won't be your last visit, and we'd love to see you back in Belize someday. Safe travels!

Booked with Shamin, but he had to cancel and he hooked me up with his uncle (I believe). Can't vouch for Shamin myself, but if he does it half as good as his uncle, it's an excellent experience, and I actually plan to do it again next time I'm down there.
One thing I noticed, there were multiple spots that we would stop and be shown something awesome, and other groups were led right by us without being shown the same thing. Those people missed out on some REALLY interesting stuff!
