Ambergris Caye Cave Tubing and Zipline Adventure — Day Trip from San Pedro
Zip above a Belizean forest then glide through cave passages on an inner tube: this full‑day outing from San Pedro pairs ziplining thrills with the hush of subterranean limestone. Expect a lively mix of adrenaline, geology, and local knowledge on a well-paced day trip.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early to the water taxi terminal
Meet your guide near the San Pedro Belize Express luggage area at 6:45am to ensure a prompt boat departure and full day on the mainland.
Bring a change of clothes and a dry bag
You’ll get wet during tubing and may sweat on the zipline platforms; a dry bag protects electronics and a fresh shirt makes the return boat comfortable.
Wear secure, quick‑dry footwear
Sandals with straps or water shoes work best—no flip‑flops—since you’ll climb ladders and float through rocky cave entries.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen and bug repellent
Belize’s sun is strong and the forest has mosquitoes; choose products that protect you and reduce harm to local waterways.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Ask guides about the small sinkhole pools near the tubing exit—locals sometimes point out native orchids and tiny freshwater crabs.
- •On the mainland, small roadside stalls often sell fresh coconut water and local sweets that make a quick, authentic snack between activities.
Wildlife
- •Howler monkeys
- •Tropical birds such as toucans and motmots
Conservation Note
Operators often work with local landowners and follow rules to protect caves and river passages—avoid touching formations and use reef‑safe products to limit ecosystem impact.
Many of Belize’s caves were sacred to the ancient Maya and served as sites for offerings; limestone formations preserve centuries of geological record.
