Cave Tubing & Zipline Adventure from San Pedro — Jaguar Paw Rainforest Tour
Float through candlelit limestone passages and then launch into the canopy on ziplines and a 120-foot hammock bridge. This six-hour Jaguar Paw combo tour pairs cave tubing through ancient Maya caves with an adrenaline-packed zipline circuit.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe water shoes
Trails include shallow stream crossings and slippery cave floors—secure, quick-dry shoes protect your feet and improve traction.
Bring a dry bag and waterproof phone case
The tubing section is wet and cameras can be damaged; secure valuables in a small dry bag or case.
Use insect repellent and sun protection
The forest approach and midday zipline expose you to bugs and sun—apply repellent and sunscreen before departure.
Be ready for narrow passages and low light
Cave tubing involves tight, dim sections—if you’re claustrophobic or have spinal issues, consider skipping the cave portion.

Conservation Note
Cave formations are fragile—avoid touching or striking walls, pack out waste, and stay on guide-led routes to minimize erosion and habitat disturbance.
The cave passages are part of a limestone karst system historically significant to Maya cosmology; caves in Belize were used for ritual depositions and are often referred to as portals to Xibalba.
