Active Adventure

Experience the beautiful coral of the barrier reef and marine life that includes brightly coloured tropical fish, turtles and nurse sharks. There are an array of different dive/snorkel opportunities as the barrier reef extends along the entire Belize coastline.

There are over 400 cayes (sand or mangrove islands) within the Belize Barrier Reef, ranging from larger developed islands in the north to idyllic, uninhabited islands dotted with palms and beautiful white sand beaches. More >

An incredible opportunity exists to explore caves once used by the Mayans as important ceremonial sites. An energetic adventure allows you to retrace Mayan steps and witness the relics and remains as originally found

Highlight caves include the Actun Tunichil Muknal cave (aka ATM Cave or the cave of the stone sepulchre), to visit requires a trek through the jungle, swimming across a pool of water and then a physical clamber over rocks deep into the cave More >

A popular event for all the family, drift underground through the caves river network in an inner tube with a headlamp to guide you. The most popular place to tube is the Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve or stay at the Caves Branch Jungle Lodge, the founder Ian Anderson was the pioneer of cave tubing in Belize and you can tube on the Caves Branch River.

Kayaking can be done in the jungle along rivers and lagoons or into caves to see Mayan relics. Alternatively kayak on the ocean along the coast or around the cayes to view the reef from a different perspective. Several trips are available that either kayak or stand up paddleboard from caye to caye, or you can stay on the atolls to kayak/sup to different snorkel sites.

There are many beautiful hiking trails in Belize backcountry. Guided hikes are available at most jungle lodges and several with extensive self guided trails at some and can provide an excellent opportunity to view local wildlife and birds. Set against a spectacular backdrop of the Maya mountains the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife sanctuary has a number of marked trails that can be explored independently or with a guide. Mayflower Bocawina National Park also has a number of scenic trails, several that climb to the top of waterfalls, trails also can be done independently or with a guide.

There are four zipline centres in Belize and all with exceptional jungle scenery, including the longest zipline in Central America at Mayflower Bocawina Falls..
