Too long for this call: you'd be back about 6:05 pm, 2 h 5 min after the last tender. Look for a shorter version or a longer port day.

Our verdict

Too long for a typical Belize City call (8:00 am–4:30 pm). At 9 h plus travel from Fort Street Tourism Village (tender landing), the earliest you could be back is about 6:05 pm, after all aboard. It only works on a long call — your ship would need to stay until at least 7:35 pm.

The operator picks up at the cruise port (it is on their pickup list), so the trip to the start point is part of the tour. We allow 10 min to walk off and find the pickup; look for the ground-transportation area outside Fort Street Tourism Village (tender landing).

Among the 240 Belize City shore excursions we track, this is one of the longer ones (the median runs 5 h); 57% of them fit a typical call. Belize City is a tender port: we add 45 minutes to get ashore and keep you back 30 minutes before all aboard for the last tender.

Computed from the tour's published duration, the distance from the cruise pier to its start point and the typical Belize City call. Adjust your ship's times above to recheck.

About this tour

Bring together western Belize’s Maya history and two outdoor adventures in one shared day. Explore Xunantunich’s plazas and temples with a guide, then continue into the forest for cave tubing after a safety briefing and approach walk. Float through the limestone cave system before taking on the zipline course, where trained guides provide the equipment and help you move between canopy platforms. Each activity is presented as its own guided part of the day.
