All mainland adventures depart from Ambergris Caye with coordinated transport and a local guide throughout. We handle every connection.
Cave Tubing + Zip Line
Float through ancient, cathedral-like cave systems on inner tubes while headlamps illuminate Maya ceremonial chambers — then zip through the jungle canopy above. A beloved full-day combination in the Cayo District.
- Location: Caves Branch, Cayo District
- Duration: Full day
- Great for: All ages and abilities
Cave Tubing + Xunantunich Ruins
Combine a cave tubing adventure with a visit to the stately Xunantunich Maya site — a ceremonial city with a 40-metre pyramid overlooking the Mopan River valley and the border with Guatemala. Two of Belize's most iconic mainland experiences in one day.
- Location: Cayo District
- Duration: Full day
- Highlight: El Castillo pyramid climb
Cave Tubing + Belize Zoo
A family favourite — morning cave tubing through underground river systems followed by the Belize Zoo, home to only native Belizean animals in a natural setting. Jaguars, tapirs, harpy eagles, and more, all cared for and living in a dignified semi-wild environment.
- Great for: Families with children
- Location: Western Belize
- Duration: Full day
Lamanai + New River Boat Tour
One of the most spectacular Maya site visits in Belize — reached by a river journey through the New River Lagoon, spotting crocodiles, howler monkeys, and exotic birds en route. Lamanai's temple complex rises above the jungle, with structures continuously occupied for over 3,000 years.
- Location: Orange Walk District
- Duration: Full day
- Highlight: River wildlife + ancient temples
