About this experience
Combine two of Belize’s best-known mainland experiences in one shared tour. Walk through Altun Ha’s plazas and temples while your guide explains the Maya city’s history and trade connections, then head into the forest for cave tubing. After the walk and safety briefing, float through the underground river and see the limestone formations from the water. The day balances archaeology, rainforest scenery, and an active cave experience.
