Belize is a small country in Central America, well known for its vast jungle and pristine wildlife. This jungle covers most of the mainland and is home to various species of wildlife, birds, and many flowers/medicinal plants. There are many things for you to see and discover in this tropical wonderland; which means we have a variety of tours for you to choose from.
Zip Lining
Glide through the jungle on one of Belize’s most famous areas to zip line. Whether it is at Jaguar Paw, Mayflower National Park, or at Ian Anderson’s Caves Branch; each offers a range of zip lines that goes higher than the other. This gives you an amazing aerial view of the rainforest and waterfalls.

Cave Tubing
This involves cruising down the waterways in a tube, through large caves with glistening limestone and small waterfalls. As well you may even find ancient Maya artifacts; this is a breathtaking experience, and when you’re finally out of the cave you’ll see the beautiful scenery of the jungle on both sides of the deep azure blue water.
The jungles of Belize are rich with wildlife, tropical plants and birds, and an array of bright colors. This type of scenery is most appreciated when you experience it for yourself; so, when planning your trip to Belize don’t forget to come explore our jungles.
