All Belize City Tours & Excursions in 2026

I've done around 50 shore excursions over the last 25 years, and this one easily lands in my top three of all time. To make things interesting, the weather wasn't cooperating, and the ship's tenders got us to shore about 50 minutes late. I was worried we'd miss the tour, but they waited for us... and it turns out there were six other delayed passengers too. That level of customer service set the tone right away. Finding them at the port was incredibly easy. They were standing right in the middle with a big sign, practically impossible to miss. If you've ever done independent excursions before, you know that isn't always the case. Sometimes you're playing a real-life game of "Where's Waldo?" while checking text messages and hoping you're in the right spot. Not here. I'll admit, I was a little nervous about spending 90 minutes floating through a cave on an inner tube. The thought of being underground for that long sounded a bit intimidating. Thanks to our guide, that nervousness lasted maybe three minutes. The remaining 87 minutes were nothing but fun. The cave itself was incredible, and the small-group atmosphere made it feel like a private tour with lots of one-on-one interaction. After the tubing adventure, they provided a nice lunch at no extra cost, which was a great touch. One thing to know: if you're visiting this port and want to do something truly memorable, expect about an hour drive in a van. The ride was perfectly fine, although the van may have been auditioning for a role as a bouncing castle and could probably use some new shocks. Most importantly, every concern I had about booking with an independent operator instead of a cruise-line excursion was completely debunked. The organization, communication, service, and experience were all outstanding. I would absolutely book with this company again and would be thrilled to get Abner (sp?) as our driver and guide. He did a fantastic job and was a huge part of what made this excursion so memorable. Bottom line: If you're on the fence about this excursion, stop thinking and book it. It was one of the best shore excursions I've ever done. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you are able to request a driver, request Jamie! He was on time for pick up, made sure I was comfortable in the van before we left (they give you cold water and WiFi access for messaging apps). Jamie was also so kind to share his knowledge of Belize, the Mayan culture and history of villages we traveled to on our way to San Ignacio. You could feel how proud he was and I am grateful to him for sharing. Also, he drove me through San Ignacio and showed me some restaurants and shops to check out before taking me to my hotel.

Jose Tours was excellent. He met us at the tender dock number two. The tour vehicle was in excellent condition and with air conditioning working well. Jose gave us much information about Belize and we stoped at a road vender for a mango. At Altun Ha Maya Ruin he bought our admission band. We explored the Ruin. Two of us were in our 70s and two in their 40s he addressed the difference in age by a giving each age group a sl different tour. On way back to ship we stoped at restaurant and had local chicken and rice(great).had a tour of Belize city and tasted local cashew nuts.

The experience was a 10/10! We traveled with a group of six, and our tour guide, Peter, was incredibly accommodating to everyone. He was very knowledgeable and made sure we not only had a great time but also learned a lot throughout the excursion. He kept everything well organized, ensured we completed all of the activities, including the ziplining, cave tubing, and lunch. He made sure we returned to our cruise ship with plenty of time to spare. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Belize!

We had the best time! Our tour guide, Able, was fantastic, so knowledgeable about the culture, nature, and answered every question we had. Able took great pictures of us to have. Made sure we could slow down and really experience everything. He was friendly to other groups and helped answer their questions and take their pictures as well. This is a family business and they’ve done a great job setting everything up for a smooth day. One of the best tours and tour guides we’ve had. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing time on our ziplining & cave tubing excursion! The entire experience was so fun, exciting, and well organized from start to finish. Ansaar was an absolutely amazing guide — super friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and made everyone feel comfortable and safe the whole time. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does. The views while ziplining were beautiful, and the cave tubing was such a relaxing and unique experience. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend this excursion, especially if you get Ansaar as your guide!

Ian and Julian were amazing. So about an hr drive to the country side. Then an exciting 1 hr ride on a boat up river. Then you emerge in the jungle to a dock and explore 3 pyramids and some other structures. Saw some howler monkeys and ate some real deal Belizean food buffet style. Then back on the boat for a jungle cruise and drive home. My wife and I had an incredible time and would recommend this trip. The staff was so friendly, told us about the local culture and were very informative about the ruins. Don't pass on this trip. It is a blast!

Beautiful experience, Lamanai was amazing and the river ride was refreshing. Bring a rain coat just in case! Got rained on, on the way back and was drenched in minutes haha 10/10 would do again, great all around experience. Brenda was a wonderful guide and boat driver.
