Excalibur Royal Adventure Package — Zipline, Via Ferrata & Cave Rappel in Belize
A half-day pulse-raising package at Excalibur in southern Belize: zipline across jungle and sea, tackle Belize’s first via ferrata with a 264-foot Tibetan Bridge, and rappel painted rock faces. Practical, guided, and weather-dependent — ideal for moderately fit travelers.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before arrival
Bring at least 1 liter of water and drink leading up to the activity; tropical humidity increases dehydration risk during exertion.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes for the via ferrata, rappel, and jungle trails — sandals are not suitable.
Expect itinerary changes
River tubing and cave access depend on water levels and weather; have a flexible schedule for the day.
Secure loose items
Use a small dry bag or leave valuables at the base — ziplines and bridges require hands-free movement.
