Our verdict

Too long for a typical Belize City call (8:00 am–4:30 pm). At 48 h plus travel from Fort Street Tourism Village (tender landing), the earliest you could be back is about 9:15 am, after all aboard. It only works on a long call — your ship would need to stay until at least 10:45 am.

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.

Itinerary

  1. 1
    Xunantunich
    After crossing beautiful Mopan river by ferry, your guide will take you into a lapse of ancient times. Marvel at the six large plazas with twenty six different temples and structures, gaze at the Guatemalan border from on-top of "El Castillo" (the second largest man made structure in Belize) and simply soak in the natural beauty and scenes from each temple you'll get to climb. All this and more, as your guide explains and answers all or any questions you may have.
    1 h 30 minAdmission included
  2. 2
    Stop 2
    Each guest will be suited with a helmet, harness and safety gloves and then briefed on how to zip and safety tips. Thereafter the fun begins immediately with a short 5 minute rainforest hike to the first of six lines. Be sure to scream and enjoy the feeling of maximum freedom as you float across rivers and through the pristine Belizean rainforest.
    1 hAdmission included
  3. 3
    Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve
    At this archaeological reserve, your guide will allow a few minutes for you to change into your tubing gear or swimwear. In the meantime, he will be preparing your tubes and other gears until you are finished. You'll then begin your 15 minute educational hike through the lush rain forest trails with your guide leading the way. After this trek, you'll be at the entrance of the "Mayan Under World"; the cave. Feel free to take a dip in the crystal clear water with your guide to cool down before you begin! Sit back and relax for the next hour and a half as your guide pulls you through the cave; pointing out pristine crystals and other natural formations along the way. Become submerged in ancient Mayan history and one of a kind grandeur. Take your cameras so that you can photograph the beauty of the large "cenote" or sinkhole and waterfall inside the cave system. Upon exiting the cave you will float on the open river for at least 25 minutes before arriving at the start/end point again.
    2 hAdmission included
  4. 4
    Community Baboon Sanctuary
    Experience the Black Howler Monkeys in their natural habitats as you doze away at their immense beauty. Your private guide will teach you about these animals as well as have them howl and come close for the best view and pictures. Plenty of wild birds and plants to see along the way.
    1 h 30 minAdmission included
