Top Belize Day Trips

Our family (13 to 65 years old) really enjoyed the excursion. It took a little over an hour to get to Altun Ha. . There were road works so it was slow going, but it was great to see the scenery on the way. Altun Ha was really interesting and Jose gave us a little tour with insights into the ruins and Mayan culture. Because of a knee injury we rented a collapsible wheelchair from the cruise ship. Altun Ha was really accessible (if someone is willing to push) because it’s compact and flat. The younger and more able were able to climb up the ruins which was exciting for them. On the way back to Belize City, we stopped at a traditional restaurant and had a great meal of chicken rice and beans. Jose also stopped by the road to buy some bananas to let us try. On the way back to the port, we drove through the city centre and Jose pointed out the interesting colonial buildings. All in all a great half day out.

Our trip to Caracol and Rio On Pools was wonderful. Our guide has extensive knowledge of the native birds and animals. He also ensured that we had ample opportunities for pictures and gladly offered to take our photos. One of the highlights of our trip was our chance to witness a family of Howler Monkeys up close at Caracol. Rio On Pools was also fun, especially after spending all morning in the heat. We enjoyed the natural swimming pools, which provided a perfect spot to cool off and unwind. The delicious lunch provided after exploring Caracol was also a delightful addition to our overall experience.

My grandson and I had the best tour with Marvin and Leo! The history of the Mayans was so interesting. I learned so much. After a delicious lunch we started our trek up the hill for the cave tubing. I'm 75 years old and definitely not in the best of shape, but Leo stayed with me and encouraged me all the way up the hill. Once we got in the water it was everything I had imagined. The water felt great and the terrain was beautiful. Leo pointed out the different birds we saw. We then entered the cave and it was awesome! This was definitely the highlight of my trip to Belize.

My wife and I truly had an amazing experience on this tour esp because of Bern, who made the entire trip so memorable. We will definitely recommend this tour to our friends and family. Bern was not only professional but he also went far above and beyond our expectations. He arrived 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled pickup time, welcomed us with a warm smile, introduced himself and gave us a detailed overview of the tour for the day. We hopped into his very clean vehicle and made our way to Xunantunich. Throughout our visit, we never felt rushed. Bern was very informative, patient and made the experience enjoyable and relaxing. On our way to the cave tubing adventure, we stopped for lunch, which was a nice addition to the day. The cave tubing experience itself was unforgettable. Inside the dark cave, we even got off our tubes to see the pottery left behind by the Mayans, which was truly incredible and made the experience even more special. Throughout the entire tour Bern consistently provided us with water, fresh towels and a friendly smile. We highly recommend this tour and we hope you get Bern as your tour guide because he truly made the experience exceptional.

The tour started in San Ignacio our driver was very nice and walked us through the border and customs section in Belize. Prior to separating he pointed out our Guatemalan tour guide from a distance. Once through customs and border checks our Guatemalan guide Levi walked us through the same process on the Guatemala side. Once we arrived at Tikal Levi was very knowledgeable and his passion for the history of the site made the almost 6 mile walk with almost 71 flights of stairs seem less intense. The trip was amazing to see both uncovered and still yet covered historical structures. Our guide also walked us through the area where celebrations and cultural Matan events are still held to this day. The provided meal was phenomenal after so much walking.

My partner and I had an unforgettable experience on the river and ruins tour with Ian. Ian spotted so much wildlife along the river which really got us excited and he was knowledgeable of the history of the area which made the ruins tour very interesting. There is also an enjoyable museum at the Lamanai site. The lunch was homemade from Ian's mother and it was delicious. The whole process was seamless even though we were traveling via van and boat. There were bathrooms at every location as well. Every person we encountered was kind. The car ride back to the hotel rocked us to sleep so the nap was a nice addition to the trip haha. We loved the experience and definitely recommend it to folks interested in nature, wildlife, and Mayan history.

To keep it brief-The company and I had some logistics issues.. As it was New Year’s Day, there seemed to be a few stragglers holding things up. This caused some delays and other problems. So we decided to request a refund. The refund was given. I gave it a 5 star because staff did try to make it happen but it just wouldn’t work for us because of time issues and they honored their side.

Absolutely amazing experience and Miguel was so good with our 8 year old son! He let him hold onto him and guided him but also let him feel independent and accomplished when appropriate. Everyone had a great time! Such a special once in a lifetime experience!
