Unbelievable Views 🇧🇿⛰️

Shout out Pedro for being so kind and informative! This was an incredible experience learning about Xunantunich and Mayan culture! The ruins were breathtaking, and from the top, we could see everything. We discovered so much about different plants and their uses. We even got to see spider monkeys!

Caracol Maya Ruins Tour Including Rio On Pools, Rio Frio Cave and a Picnic Lunch

Stephanie_S, Jun 2026

Our trip to Caracol and...

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.

The ATM tour was...

The ATM tour was undoubtedly the highlight of our Belize inland trip. Our tour guide, Hector, was an expert in Maya culture, research, and the intricacies of the ATM cave. He was informative, passionate, and professional. I highly recommend everyone bring reliable closed-toed water shoes, as we had to walk the trail, cross rivers, swim, and navigate the cave in these shoes. P.S. We also had a wonderful driver (shout out to Wayne) who was kind and friendly. He prepared us a delicious Belizean lunch to enjoy after our cave adventure.

Humbled & in Awe

This was the most amazing tour myself and husband have ever done. Spelunking in a cave with ancient Mayan artifacts and skeletons will probably be the coolest thing we ever do. We feel honored to be able to witness history this way, but also feel like this sacred space shouldn't be open to tourists such as ourselves... I know our tickets help fund the research for ATM, which is great! But seeing just how many tourists make their way clumsily through this archaeological site is depressing. So for others contemplating this tour: please know the experience is so amazing, but go forth with respect and humbleness.

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.

Michelle_F, Jun 2026

Amazing!

The 2 hour cave tubing tour was so fun but low stress (easy activity for kids). Lots of interesting information about the caves and ancient Mayan civilization. Felt nice and cool and a good break from the sun! Omar was an excellent guide, helpful, great with the kids and very knowledgeable! Ending the day with a swim in the beautiful crystal clear blue hole was amazing.

Once in lifetime experience.

Great experience. Our bus driver picked us up on time from our resort in San Ignacio and drove us to the border where we met our tour guide Levi. Levi was a great guide. Very informative and helpful. He taught us a lot about the pyramids and ancient Mayan culture. Would definitely go on this tour again.

Bern!!! Bern!!! Bern!!!

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.

Xunantunich horseback riding tour

Laura_M, Mar 2026

Great experience!

The stables carefully matched riders to horses taking account of experience and comfort levels. As well as the man and horse leading, there was a second staff member (owner and guide) who walked with us, giving advice and checking on us. The ride is mostly along the river and we saw a huge iguana a d a howler monkey! The guide was very knowledgeable at the ruin and we learned a lot.

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.

Amazing ATM Cave tour—one of the highlights of our Belize trip. The cave itself is absolutely incredible and such a unique adventure. Our guide, Gilroy, was excellent: very nice, incredibly knowledgeable, and funny, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend that you book this experience if you can!
