Soar through the rainforest treetops and kayak through river caves. This fun Belizean jungle combo excursion awaits your adventurous spirit. This Belize shore excursion will be sure to bring out the thrill-seeker in everyone while experiencing the mystery and beauty of Belize.
After taking the tender boat from your ship to the shore, you will meet your English-speaking guide just outside your Belize cruise tender terminal. After checking in, you will be escorted to your exclusive, air-conditioned transportation for the comfortable 60-minute ride into the Belizean jungle. When you arrive at the zipline base camp, you will be outfitted with a harness, helmet, and gloves as well as basic instructions to ensure your safety during the zip line portion. Important note...there is a double cable for added security and backup safety (so you are clipped onto two lines, not just one!). Following a practice run on the novice short zipline, your guide will lead the group up to the next platform where you will get clipped onto the line and gravity will zip you over to the next platform where another guide will receive you. Each person will follow and then you will clip into the next line and repeat the same fun. You sail high above the rainforest and river enjoying 7 different zip lines of up to 1,000 feet in length.
After your bird's eye view over the jungle, it's time to explore jungle river caves from the water at Caves Branch. Before starting your kayaking portion, your expert Belize excursion guide will provide a life vest, helmet, headlamp, and paddle along with a short safety briefing before the 30-minute hike to the riverbed. When you book, you will have the option to book a single kayak for just one person or a double for you and a friend to ride in together. Following the calm river current, your guide will take you through a maze of 4 different caverns where you will enjoy a plethora of stalactite and other unique cavern formations. You may also encounter various tropical birds and other surrounding wildlife such as butterflies, monkeys, and iguanas near the cave entrances. Fairytale-like waterfalls and sparkling caverns make kayaking even better. The paddling is easy and at a relaxed pace.
As you return to base camp, you'll have a delicious lunch of rice and beans with chicken, cole slaw, and fruit juice. After lunch, you will board your comfortable transportation for a relaxing ride back to your Belize cruise ship tender terminal where you can hop on a tender back to your ship or continue to explore the port area in your own leisure time.
