Sky Tracks and Mud Tracks: Zip Line and Jungle Jeep Safari in Belize
Combine aerial ziplines with rugged Jeep mudding on a six-hour rainforest loop near Belize City. Expect multiple zip lines, off-road trails that get lively in the wet season, lunch and hotel/port pickup.
The Experience
Before You Go
Know the weight limit
Operators typically enforce a 325 lb (147 kg) weight limit for safety; check when booking if you’re close to that limit.
Wear grippy shoes
Closed-toe hiking shoes with good tread help for short trail walks and entering/exiting Jeeps safely.
Bring insect repellent
Rainforest edges and Jeep trails attract mosquitoes—apply repellent and consider long sleeves in the evening.
Time your trip
Morning departures are cooler and increase the chance of seeing active wildlife before midday heat; plan around cruise/port times if arriving by ship.
