Arriving at cave 4 entrance is a hill overlooking the river below, some guest prefer to jump in 10 feet into the river while others choose to enter the river from a walk-in entry point where the guide assist each guest into the water. The guide gives an orientation on the cave float and provides the headlamps.
The first portion of the float is through cave 4 which is a long tunnel and very little or no current so the guide places each guest floating on their tube one in-front of the other, “the train” the guide goes to the front of the train and starts pulling the train for about 40 minutes through this first long tunnel then you arrive at cave 3. At the entrance of cave 3 is a fast flowing, 10 inches of water for about 200 feet that rapidly takes the tuber into a huge cavern. In this cave the float continues with the train and the lead guide points out unique formations "jaguar,serpent,woman holding baby".
Several rapids are in this section of the cave and the guide controls the train and the direction so everyone enjoys the rapids section. Float through this cave system for 45 minutes. So the total cave floating time is 1 hour and 45 minutes then you arrive at the exit of the cave and a open caves branch river.
