Private Cave Tubing and Zipline Adventure from Belize City
Combine high-canopy zip lines with a float through ancient Maya caves on a private full-day trip from Belize City. This active shore excursion pairs adrenaline and geology with expert local guides and included transport.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure footwear
Choose closed-toe water shoes or trail shoes with good grip for muddy rainforest approaches and wet cave exits.
Protect electronics
Carry a small dry bag or waterproof case; cameras and phones can be damaged during tubing and on humid zip-line platforms.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Bring a refillable water bottle and sip steadily—heat and exertion on platforms can be underestimated.
Follow guide briefings
Guides control line operations and cave safety—listen closely to harness, braking, and tubing instructions to protect yourself and formations.

Conservation Note
Visitors should avoid touching cave formations and stay on designated paths; many operators work with local reserves to limit impact and support fees that fund park management.
The cave systems cut into Belize’s limestone are part of a karst landscape long significant to the Maya, who referenced subterranean passages as the underworld Xibalba in their cosmology.
