Zipline & Cave Tubing Adventure
Combine adrenaline-pumping zipline thrills with the magical experience of floating through ancient Maya caves on this unforgettable Belize shore excursion. This tour is perfect for adventurous cruise passengers who want to experience the best of Belize’s rainforest and underground world in a single day.
Your adventure begins with a drive into the heart of the Belizean rainforest near the Caves Branch River. After a safety briefing and equipment fitting, you ascend to the first zipline platform high in the tropical canopy. Soar across multiple zipline runs that take you flying above the treetops, with breathtaking views of the jungle below. Your experienced guides ensure your safety at every step.
After the zipline experience, prepare for the second highlight of the day: cave tubing. Equipped with an inflated inner tube and a headlamp, you wade into the crystal-clear waters of the Caves Branch River. The gentle current carries you into a spectacular cave system that the ancient Maya believed to be the entrance to the underworld — Xibalba.
Inside the caves, marvel at stunning stalactites and stalagmites formed over millions of years. Your guide points out unique rock formations and shares stories of Maya rituals and ceremonies that took place in these sacred spaces. The combination of the cool water, the cathedral-like cave chambers, and the soft glow of headlamps creates a truly otherworldly experience.
The float through the cave system takes approximately 45 minutes, alternating between illuminated caverns and brief sections of open sky where the jungle canopy frames the river. This tour requires a moderate level of fitness and the ability to swim.
