About this tour

Docked in Belize City or staying on the mainland? This Altun Ha and cave tubing tour packs two of Belize's most-loved adventures into one easy day. Start among the temples of Altun Ha, once a wealthy ancient Maya trading center just north of Belize City. Climb the Temple of the Masonry Altars, the pyramid you'll recognize from every Belikin beer label, and stand in the plaza where archaeologists uncovered the famous jade head of the sun god Kinich Ahau. Then trade history for adventure. Settle into an inner tube and drift with the river through cool limestone caves, your guide's light revealing the formations the Maya believed were gateways to Xibalba, the underworld. It's one of the most popular Belize shore excursions for a reason: culture, nature and pure fun, all with friendly local guides who make your day easy.
