Adaventure through the mysterious darkness of the Mayan underworld as you cave tube through our Belize rivers and zip-line through the jungle.
Our Cave Tubing and Canopy Zip-lining Tour starts with a short hike in the heart of the Belizean wilderness. Upon arrival, you will be given a safety briefing and outfitted with a body harness, helmet, and gloves. Traverse from treetop to treetop, 80 feet above the forest floor, dangling from the steel cables of the zip-line. This tour includes five platforms ranging from 100 to 500 feet of flying – allowing you to experience some of the best ziplining in Belize!!
After working up a sweat with our zip-lining excursion, take a refreshing tour of our cooling rivers while cave tubing. Hike for 30 minutes to the entrance of the magnificent cave system. You will reach a stunning lagoon surrounded by steep limestone walls to witness the mystery of “Xibalba,” the heart of the Mayan underworld. By now you are in the depths of this ancient cave system and can float along in the darkness, with your headlamp as the only source of light. Led by our guides and gently pushed along by a flowing current, you will pass through impressive sanctuaries used by the Maya for sacrificial rituals. Plunge into darkness if you are brave enough to turn off your headlamps, and listen to the sounds of the cascading waterfalls and rapids.
Start your journey traveling the most scenic highway in Belize. Its winding hills and lush greenery make for a pleasant and captivating ride as you drive the Hummingbird Highway on your way to the Cayo District. During your three-hour drive, you will enjoy passing through many small, local villages and even the nation’s capital, Belmopan, to get a feel of everyday life in Belize.
The Western Highway then takes you through the bustling market town of San Ignacio that sits on the banks of the Macal River. Your journey continues west where you will cross the Mopan River on a hand-cranked ferry to access the large Mayan archaeological site of Xunantunich (pronounced shu-nan-tu-nitch), translated as the Stone Lady or Maiden of the Rocks.
This fascinating pyramid boasts several plazas and a large selection of classic stelae. The entire archaeological site was once believed to have been a major ceremonial structure and is situated high on a limestone ridge. Those ambitious enough to hike the top of El Castillo, the tallest structure on site, will be rewarded with panoramic views of both Belize and Guatemala.
Learn more about the history and architecture of Xunantunich at the information center.
Located in the Mayflower Bocawina National Park, less than 15 miles from Belizean Dreams Resort, our friendly guides will lead you to a pristine hike through the Belize jungle.
During your hiking excursion to the top of the 1,000ft falls, explore unexcavated ceremonial Maya mounds with temples and ancient ball courts hidden beneath its surface. Archaeologists are still uncovering the history of what’s hidden below the overgrown jungle.
As you get deeper into the lush rainforest look out for orchids, birds, and exotic animals. The hike to Antelope Falls is truly worth the effort. As the 1,000ft fall cascades down the massive rock face, take in the expansive views over the jungle and out to the Caribbean Sea. End your hike with a refreshing swim in the oasis – a smaller fall that fills a beautiful emerald pool, at the very top of the waterfall offering you a breathtaking view.
Ride on trails where the Mayas once traveled and explore the tropical jungle with our trained guides.
