About this experience
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.

Itinerary and highlights
The panoramic views of the Cayo District and nearby Guatemala from atop ‘El Castillo’ are stupendous! Come with an open heart to experience simplicity and visiting another world for a few hours before heading off to Jaguar Paw for cave tubing & zip lining.
When you’ve arrived at the outpost, you will meet your tour guides who will issue inflatable tubes, headlamps and life vest. You’ll be given a basic orientation and safety briefing before heading off on a 30-minute hike which includes wading through a few knee-deep water streams.
At Nohoch Che’en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve near Frank’s Eddy, reached from the George Price Highway west of Belize City, receive your helmet, headlamp, life vest, and tube. Walk with your guide through the forest to the river, then float through the limestone cave system and open-river section while learning about its geology and Maya cultural importance.
Meet the trained zipline guides for an equipment fitting and safety briefing covering braking, balance, and cable procedures. Move through the course one platform at a time while the guides manage each stage and help you travel above the tropical forest canopy.
