We were so excited to explore the ATM Cave with Jamir (JamJam) today. He was interesting and detailed in his explanation of the Mayan history and their religious beliefs. He... read more was incredibly helpful and patient with our 2 children (ages 10 & 11) who also really enjoyed the adventure! My favorite bit was the enormous ceilings of stalactites and the final narrow passageways on the return journey.
Plus, Mr Walter (?), our driver served an incredible feast of BBQ chicken, rice, beans & tortillas for lunch!
My only wish - that I'd known to book Jamir directly through his OWN Jam Jam tours!
Also, in May, the water level on the stream crossing was lower so it was easy to walk across at all 3 crossings. You should expect some swimming and waist-shoulder deep water at some points inside the cave. We wore water shoes & swim suits plus carried long-sleeved water shirts that we could wear if cold/ as sun protection on the hike back.
May 21, 2022Jam Jam's ATM cave tour was highly informative, fun and engaging. He also gauged the swimming/caving skill level of the group and let us an alternate way back to the... read more cave entrance/exit. So our return through was filled with fun shimmying around through some narrow water filled passages. Our group of friends were jokesters and Jam Jam expertly went with the flow :D and threw jokes back! We had our driver Nestor (also certified to do the tour) helping bring up the rear of the group. I highly appreciated the care both Jam Jam and Nestor took in making sure I did not fall, slip or sprain anything during the tour. Highly recommend doing this tour, it was unanimously agreed upon with my friends that this was the highlight of the Belize trip! …

My family explored the ATM caves with Jam Jam Tour Company and had an amazing adventure. Jamir is exceptionally knowledgeable about the cave and landscape and Mayan history. ... read more He is patient and kind and funny and an absolute professional. We traveled with 3 kids who ranged in ages from 10-14 and Jamir encouraged their curiosity and adventurous spirits while keeping all of us safe and engaged.
