All Belize City Tours & Excursions in 2026

Dennis Jr was a great guide: knowledgeable and friendly. He picked us up from the cruise terminal and then it was about an hours drive to the zip-lining. Darrin and William were our guides and they were excellent. Their primary concern was our safety. There were seven zip-lines. It was a beautiful setting in the forest that finished with us zip-lining over a river. After the zip-lining Dennis Jr took us to the cave tubing. This was relaxing as he did all the work of guiding us throughout the journey - which took about an hour. It was interesting to hear the history of how the Mayans viewed the caves, and also to see three different types of bats. It was a really good day.

We had a great time on our cave tubing tour with Kenton and Peter who, as one of them joked, were our drivers, tour guides, and waiters for this excursion. Our van was full but not uncomfortable, as our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) was joined by another couple and a family of 6 (including parents, grandparents, and young kids). The instructions for finding the guides were spot on and easy to follow. After a decent drive (45 min?) to the cave area, which included some informative and entertaining commentary, we geared up and hit the water. The hike to the launch point included traversing the river while holding onto a rope and our tubes. It was a little challenging because the river was high and fast that day due to rain over the previous days, but we all made it and the guides were attentive and helpful to the children and others who needed assistance. The hike through the forest was not bad, but I had a little trouble keeping up and feel like I missed out on some of the information. Luckily, Peter hung back with me and did his best to point out notable things and answer any questions I had. The cave tubing itself was incredible. Our group was split into 2 between our 2 guides and each group of tubes was tied together. Although some might like a more independent ride, I was happy for this set up as it made me feel safe and kept my group together with the guide, who did a great job steering us and slowing us down as much as he could as we went through the caves. We got to see bats in the caves as well as stalactites, stalagmites, and various natural formations. On the day we went, the part of the river we went through was not crowded, which made for a pleasant and relaxing experience and made me glad that we booked outside of the cruise line. As another reviewer pointed out, I would have liked to have had a better light because the headlamp was really too dim to use in the bigger caves and so we could only see with the guide's brighter flashlight. I also had trouble hearing some of the tour in the caves due to the loudness of the water and my distance from the guide. I certainly don't blame the guide for this, just wanted to point out. After the tubing, we had a delicious lunch of tamales, local hot sauce, and warm bottled water (would have been nice if it were cold) and then had a little time to explore the few shops, including a unique artist who made beautiful pieces out of butterfly wings. The ride back was relaxing and the tour guide even made a special quick stop to pick up some of the hot sauce we tried for our fellow travelers, so they didn't have to pay the high in-port prices. I'd definitely recommend this tour and I would even take it again on my next trip to Belize!

Cave tubing, with the nature walk to, and the waterfall in, was extraordinary! Mom's home cooked chicken, rice and beans, and plantains, meal was just delicious! Altun Ha with its plazas, and temples you can actually climb, was overwhelming! Belizean "roads" are a disaster, going anywhere takes way more time than it should.
