All San Ignacio Tours & Excursions in 2026

Our guide Leo was terrific! He is so passionate about the culture and his country and we learned a lot from him. His experience and knowledge made the trip even better. I know people who have visited Belize but not down these excursions and I feel like they missed out. Especially the cave tubing which has been the best part of our trip. Beautiful sights and so peaceful and a refreshing way to cool off. Our lunch was so delicious too, better than some of the fancy restaurants we’ve visited. I would highly recommend this experience and we look forward to doing it again next time we visit

Absolutely loved it! But it’s definitely not for the faint of heart or weak in body. You should NOT do this adventure if you have any of the following: claustrophobia, neuropathy in your feet, heart failure, morbid obesity, fear of seeing skeletal remains, vertigo, trouble climbing on rocks, or fear of caves/the dark. Long hike through the jungle paths, crossing rivers 3x on the way there and 3x on the way back. Some tight squeezes and tricky climbing spots in the cave, but if your guide is anywhere near as good as our guide Dimas, they will ensure you get through safely. My husband is 6 foot and 200lbs of muscle and he made it though fine, even while wearing his life jacket which increases your bulk. Dimas was amazing- he had so much knowledge of the cave and the Mayan culture behind it. He took us the more rugged way out of the cave, which added to the adventure. The lunch was prepared by local eatery Mr. Joe’s BBQ and wow it was the most delicious food, really hit the spot after hours hiking around in jungle and cave. Wear tennis shoes or hiking boots, knowing that you will be in water deeper than you can touch (your head will stay dry because of life jacket, but everything else will be 100% soaked. Make sure you are wearing socks with whatever footwear you choose, because when you get to the area with the Crystal Maiden you must be in socks, no shoes, no bare feet. Our tour included going to see Xunatunich temple afterwards. Bring sunscreen and be ready to climb a total of 123 steps. The view at the top is worth it. Such a beautiful place. Again, Dimas taught us so much about the culture and the Mayan people.

Very good experience. It was just the two of us, so it ended up being a private tour. The guide, who was also the driver, was friendly and knowledgeable. He took the time to answer all our questions and took pictures of us as well. The place is definitely worth the visit, although it is less impressive than Tikal (in Flores, Guatemala).
