Lamanai Maya Temples and River Safari Experience

This tour takes you from Ambergris Caye to the mainland, where you’ll set sail down the legendary Lamanai River toward a Maya ruin. Lamanai has sat, shrouded in jungle, for many centuries, and didn't get any attention from archeologists until the 1970s. But this tour truly isn’t about the destination – travelers should take this trip especially for the journey through the gorgeous surroundings of the Belizean jungle alone.

Cave Tubing by Boat

Embark on the pinturest boat journey across the tranquil waters separating San Pedro from mainland Belize. We offer different options for you to have an amazing experience. After navigating the cave system, you'll gently float down the river beneath a grand canopy of riverside foliage to where the hike began. Facilities for showering and changing are available at the trail's end, allowing you to switch into dry attire. For the cave tubing excursion, opt for shorts and a shirt over a swimsuit, and sturdy shoes (avoid flip flops) to safeguard against rocks and ensure they stay on your feet. Participants are expected to walk and carry their own tubes, provided by the operator, and some arm paddling is necessary to navigate the caves and river. Then, prepare for the thrill of the Aerial Trek Zip Line across the Belizean jungle canopy! A scenic walk through the dense rainforest offers glimpses of the river, cliff faces, and potentially, the darkened caves that may still harbor jaguars. Once equipped, you'll glide from platform to platform, eighty feet above the forest floor, surrounded by a vibrant tapestry of tropical plants, birds, and possibly, black howler monkeys. The zip line features eight platforms with handrails, a dual-cable system for enhanced safety, and the support of skilled and hospitable attendants to guide you throughout this exhilarating experience.
