Default Cave Tubing

Has anyone ever gone cave tubing? We did this in Belize at Jaguar Paw. I love Belize and can not wait to go back! We floated through the underground water cave on inner tubes filled with mica-studded stalactites and stalagmites. Then it goes through a waterfall that leads into a crystal cathedral that was used as a spiritual place by an ancient Maya. It is so mystical when in the caves, just thinking about how many years it has been there.

I am afraid I have never done this or been to Belize but it is a beautiful place that maybe one day if I am lucky I have the pleasure of visiting. From what I hear it can be a full day adventure or more.

I wondered how they did that too, Grandpa... It sounds amazing. I've never done this, I've never even been in that area. I would love to do it though now after reading about it.
