Day Trip: Actun Tunichil Muknal (Private/Guided/Full Day/Minibus)
Actun Tunichil Muknal "Cave of the Stone Sepulcher" is one of the most impressive caves in the Maya lowland. Located in the heart of the Belizean Rainforest, this cave was a sacred place to the pre-hispanic Mayas of Belize, who first began to use the entrance during the early classic period (300-600AD.) The cave system consists of a series of chambers, ending in a 300 by 50 meter Cathedral where sacrificial ceremonies once took place. Visitors to this cave have the opportunity to travel into the Maya past and witness a living museum where the human sacrifices and artifacts can be viewed in their original context. On the tour, you will drive to the trailhead and trek for 45 minutes through dense Jungle in the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve, wading across three streams and learning about the flora and fauna of the Jungle. At the entrance of the Cave you will be outfitted in the necessary equipment. Some swimming will be required and also climbing and caving activity. This is a first class caving and archaeological experience.
Includes: Private transfers, guide, admission fees, flashlights & hard hats, picnic lunch.
Free day in Cayo District
Whilst transferring to the airport in Belize you can break up the drive and day by enjoying a cave tubing trip at Jaguar Paw. Guests transfer to the famous Caves Branch river cave system for a fun cave tubing trip. They hike through the rainforest to the top of the river where they put in with their tubes and then float all the way back down the river through caves and rainforest. When guests are ready they transfer to their final destination. This is a guided activity so you won't miss your flight!
Includes: Private guide & transfers, admission fees, equipment, lunch.
You will then fly to San Pedro, located in the south part of Ambergris Caye.
Diving is nothing short of phenomenal in Belize's Barrier Reef, which runs parallel to Ambergris Caye. In the crystalline Caribbean waters, octopuses, nurse sharks, spotted eagle rays, and even sea turtles play among beautiful corals. But that's just the beginning. On this 40-km/25-m island, you can also sail, fish, kayak, bicycle, windsurf, snorkel, or take day trips to mainland nature or archaeological sites. This laid-back island has almost no cars, but you'll have no trouble reaching the many restaurants, tiki bars, and dive shops in San Pedro Town on foot, by bicycle, or even by golf cart. Choose the north end of the island for a quieter experience.

Enjoy a visual feast of thriving marine life as you go snorkeling at Mexico Rocks, just off North Ambergris Caye.

Giant brain coral formations create miniature undersea habitats and islands for spiny lobster and yellowtail.
