Too long for this call: you'd be back about 5:15 pm, 1 h 15 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 8 h plus travel from Fort Street Tourism Village (tender landing), the earliest you could be back is about 5:15 pm, after all aboard. It only works on a long call — your ship would need to stay until at least 6:45 pm.

The operator offers pickup, but the listed pickup points are hotels, not the cruise port. Choose "I will meet at the departure point" when booking and allow 15 min each way by taxi — that is what we counted above.

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

Experience Maya history, an underground river, and the forest canopy in one shared adventure. Begin at Altun Ha, where your guide explains the temples, plazas, and trade routes of the ancient city. Continue to the cave-tubing area for a forest walk, safety briefing, and guided float through the limestone cave system. Finish on the zipline course, where trained guides manage the equipment and help you move between platforms above the tropical forest.

Itinerary

  1. 1
    Altun Ha & The Olde Belize River
    Altun Ha is the nearest excavated Maya Temple to Belize City and is probably the most visited by belizean school children from all over the country. This beautiful Maya Temple whose name means “Rockstone Water” has wide-open spaces.
    1 hAdmission included
  2. 2
    Mean and Dangerous Adventures
    Once at the entrance of the cave system, it’s time for your cave tubing adventure through the ancient Maya underworld. Inside, you’ll see intricate crystalline formations that line the cave with a majestic rise and fall of stalagmites and stalactites that add to the serene richness and grandiose of Xibalba as it’s known.
    1 hAdmission included
  3. 3
    Caves Branch
    READY! SET! GO! Push off from the wooden platform and zip along the aerial cable at canopy level where a guide will be waiting for you at the next platform. A couple platforms, into your Indiana Jones adventure, you’ll see the “hammock bridge” hanging almost 120 feet above the forest floor. Take in the tangled heart of Belize’s spellbinding and lush primeval forest, as the wide glade of trees fall away to reveal an infinite blue sky.
