Embark on a thrilling full-day journey that takes you from Belize’s ancient past to its awe-inspiring natural wonders. This tour combines the magic of Xunantunich, one of Belize’s most iconic Maya sites, with the excitement of cave tubing through the mystical underground rivers of Nohoch Che’en.

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive—3 hours from Placencia or 2 hours from Hopkins—through the beautiful Hummingbird Highway. Discover Xunantunich, known to be Belize’s second tallest Maya temple, rising high with history and mystery in every carved stone. Climb to the top for panoramic views of the jungle and learn about the legends and rich history that surround this ancient city.

After your archaeological exploration, we’ll stop for a hearty Belizean lunch at a local restaurant—giving you a taste of the country’s authentic flavors before heading to your next adventure.

The afternoon takes you to the Nohoch Che’en Cave System, where you’ll be fitted with safety gear in accordance with the Institute of Archaeology’s guidelines. Then, enjoy a 25–30-minute guided hike through lush rainforest.

Finally, grab your inner tube and float through ancient limestone archways into a system of caves once used by the Maya for sacred rituals. As you drift along the cool river, marvel at towering stalactites, echoing chambers, and the mystical aura that surrounds this underground world.
