About this tour

Ancient temples in the morning, a lazy river float in the afternoon: this Xunantunich and cave tubing tour is the perfect balance of culture and adventure. Cross the Mopan River on a hand-cranked ferry and climb El Castillo, the towering temple at the heart of Xunantunich, for panoramic views over the jungle and into neighboring Guatemala. After a local lunch, grab your inner tube and drift through limestone river caves, cool and quiet beneath the forest. Your guide brings the Maya world to life along the way, from royal ceremonies on the temple steps to the sacred caves below. A favorite full-day Belize excursion for active couples, families and cruise visitors who want to see it all.
