Tikal National Park covers 575 square kilometers of jungle and thousands of structures in ruins. Only the central part of the old city contains 3,000 buildings and covers about 16 square kilometers. Tikal is also part of the Mayan Biosphere Reserve of one million hectares created in 1990 to protect the dense forests of Petén, which began to disappear at an alarming rate due to population pressures, illegal logging and agricultural practices of felling and burning. Archaeologists estimate that the Maya settled in the area now known as Tikal in approximately 900 BC.

What are people saying about San Ignacio

Ben_G, Aug 2026

Excellent and informative tour with a great lunch

Great tour - really knowledgeable and patient guide, lots of great information about ancient Mayan culture. Delicious lunch! Would recommend for any age of travelers! Moderately taxing in terms of walking/climbing, though the guide is happy to work with whatever level of exertion you would prefer.

Xunantunich Maya Temple and Jungle River Cave Tubing Combo Tour

Jeremy_S, Aug 2026

The activities were...

The activities were amazing and the guide was friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. One thing I didn’t realize was that there was a long drive between the archaeological site and the cave tubing and then back to San Ignacio, so a fairly large portion of the day was spent in the car. However, I enjoyed the drive and seeing the towns and countryside. Overall, I think the trip was worth the money, and I recommend it!

We were lucky and got a private tour with Danny. They will pick you up from your Airbnb if you need them to and drive you to the Guatemala border. Crossing the border on foot was so fun! We saw a howler/spider monkey turf war within 10 minutes of entering the park. Tikal is HUGE and so interesting to tour. Would definitely go again.

Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave Tour and Picnic

Matt_M, Aug 2026

Mayawalks & Francis were top notch! Highly recommend!

Can't say enough positive things about this tour experience! Francis was so knowledgeable about the archaeology and nature of the jungle. He made sure everyone was taken care of throughout the cave experience. The ATM tour was so memorable and so much fun while also being informative.

We were lucky and were the only ones on our tour! Jose was our tour guide and he was absolutely incredible. He took our interests into consideration to customize the tour for us.

Jungle Pontoon Waterfall Adventure Tour

CHRISTINA_T, Jun 2026

This was such a fun...

This was such a fun adventure. Our guide Giovanni was awesome! Took us to three different waterfalls where we were able to swim relax and take many pictures. Then he prepared a traditional Belizean lunch right on the pontoon for us. Grilled chicken, sausage, veggies, potatoes, beans and homemade tortillas. There were refreshments too. It was a full day tour surrounded by nature and wildlife and we enjoyed it very much.

Xunantunich & Cave Tubing Day Trip from San Ignacio

Dalyce_F, May 2026

Best tour guides ever!

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.

Full-Day ATM Cave and Xunantunich Maya Temple Combo

Dana_M, May 2026

Yes, book this you won’t regret it!

Yes, you should do this. Loved it! We were with a group of 5 total, plus our guide. The ATM cave was the first stop. Included a 30-40 minute nature walk with some river crossings to get to the entrance to the cave. Be prepared to get fully soaked! Once we got into the cave, it started with a short float/swim and then it was walking around up and over the limestone to go deeper into the cave. Very cool experience to climb on the rock, slide down the natural water slide and shimmy through tight spaces. Our guide was super helpful for anyone that was a bit nervous or hesitant In some of the more questionable sections. We felt safe the whole time. Upon completion of the ATM cave exploration we had a chance to change into a dry outfit (so pack a full change of clothes and shoes). And lunch was waiting for us including a dry towel and waters. Our guide was knowledgeable and full of information and stories. After eating lunch and changing, we got back in the van and headed to Xenantunich where we got another informative tour around. We did climb to the top, and there are no guard rails so if you’re afraid of heights, well let’s just say, you will be tested! It was very laid back here though and so no pressure to go all the way up. Full Sun here so hat/sunscreen is smart. Safety- we left our things in the van to go into the cave but the driver stayed back with it, so no issues. The walk into the Mayan ruins was short, so easy to go in with a backpack with phone/water/sunscreen. Yes bring extra clothes including socks and shoes. Sandals were fine for me for Xunantunich but some may prefer sneakers to climb in.

Cave Tubing and Jungle Zip Lining Through Belize

patrick_p, Apr 2026

Great time in the Belize jungle

Our family had a great day in the natural beauty of the Belize jungle. We did the combo of the zip lining first and then the cave tubing. The zip lining was a lot of fun, a few longer and faster lines over the river which was really nice. The cave tubing involved a 3-4 mile hike through the forest carrying our tube float and then had a nice float down the river through the forest and some caves. Our guide Steven was really helpful. Thank you for a great day.

ATV Excursions in Cayo with Waterfalls Experience

Patrick_C, Feb 2026

An unforgettable...

An unforgettable adventure! The ATV ride through the jungle was thrilling from start to finish, and I loved that our group was small, which made the experience feel exclusive and relaxed. The private waterfall was stunning and the perfect place to cool off after the ride. If you’re looking for adrenaline, scenery, and a truly unique experience, this is a must-do.
