Why I Wasn’t Thrilled About Cave Tubing at St. Herman’s Cave in Belize
Tubing may be a fun activity in the sunshine, but it’s a different experience in a cave where it’s pitch black. Admittedly not my favorite activity of the trip, sorry to say.
Belize – Day 5: Ziplining and Cave Tubing in the Jungle
