Enjoy a full day of history and nature with this classic Belize combination tour. You’ll first explore the ancient Maya city of Xunantunich, then cool off with a relaxing river cave tubing experience surrounded by jungle wildlife.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive inland to the Cayo District and a crossing on the historic hand-cranked ferry over the Mopan River. From there, your guide leads you through the plazas, temples, and ceremonial structures of Xunantunich while sharing stories about Maya life, astronomy, and traditions. You’ll also have the chance to climb El Castillo, one of the tallest pyramids in Belize, for panoramic views across the jungle and into Guatemala.
After the hike and exploration, the second half of the day is all about relaxation. You’ll head to the river where your guide prepares your tubes and safety gear before a gentle float downstream. The cool water is refreshing after the ruins visit, and the peaceful surroundings make it easy to unwind.
As you drift along the jungle river, you’ll often see howler monkeys high in the trees, iguanas sunning along the riverbanks, and many species of tropical birds flying overhead. The route passes through shaded areas and small cave sections while the current naturally carries you along — no experience required.
This tour offers the perfect balance of adventure, culture, and relaxation, making it ideal for families, couples, and first-time visitors to Belize.
