Belize Zoo Tour:
The Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center is located 47 kilometers west of Belize City along the Western Highway. Established in 1983 by Sharon Matola, the zoo spans 12 hectares and is home to more than 175 animals representing around 48 species, all native to Belize. This zoo is unique in that features animals in natural habitats, making it the first of its kind. While it may be small, the Belize Zoo offers visitors an authentic experience of Belizean wildlife.
Lamanai Maya Ruin Tour:
Enjoy a full-day guided tour of the Lamani Temples, known as the “submerged crocodile” temples, along with a visit to the ball courts and museum. The day begins with a scenic boat ride for sightseeing and bird watching. Afterward, you will explore the Mask Temple, the High Temple, and the Jaguar Temple, where your guide will share the fascinating history behind each site. Take in the panoramic views of the plaza down below and the vibrant nature surrounding you, listening to the Howler Monkeys.
Cave Tubing Exploration:
Enjoy a scenic drive from Belize City as you drive along one of the most historical highways in Belize. Your tour will then start with walking, wading, and tubing underground rivers flowing through ancient cave systems while viewing the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the cave decoration. Inside these vast caverns are incredible vistas of stalactites and stalagmites, some shaped like human and wildlife figures. Most famous are what appear to be the legendary Celestial Bird and Vision Serpent.
Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave Exploration:
Join us as we explore the ancient Mayan underworld at Actun Tunichil Muknal. The ATM cave is not only beautiful geologically, with its crystalline stalactites and stalagmites but also historically, as a natural museum of ancient Mayan artifacts and a sacred burial place. It is the final resting place of the “Crystal Maiden,” an ancient Mayan ceremonial victim. The hike includes three stream crossings. To access the cave, we swim across a small spring-fed pool with the help of a rope and wade into knee-high water into the dark underworld of the cave.
Altun Ha Maya Ruin Tour:
This magnificent ruin is just about thirty-one miles north of Belize City. Learn about the ancient Mayan culture and history once lived there. Altun Ha was strategically located as a trading center, and the site covers an area of about twenty-five square miles, most still uncovered. Altun Ha was a wealthy ceremonial center boasting two main plazas and thirteen structures. Additionally, discovered rich tombs indicate that the ruling elite enjoyed access to substantial amounts of exotic goods.
Xunantunich, Zipling Tour, and Cave Tubing:
After a 10-minute nature walk to the main platform, your guides will fit you in a harness and secure you to the main cable. There is a short trail leading to higher stations, which includes a little hiking beneath towering cohune trees. Some lines are longer than others- leading up to 700 feet across the jungle. In addition, you will relax and sit back while enjoying the refreshing waters of beautiful Belize. This tour offers surprises, adventure, wonders, and amazing views of Belizean nature.
