Top Belize Eco Tours

Our family excursion in Belize was the highlight of our cruise. Our extraordinary guide Peter and driver Dorian made the experience truly special. The cave tubing adventure began with a scenic 30-minute jungle hike along a well-maintained trail, easily manageable for almost anyone. Peter's knowledge and enthusiasm brought the cave system to life as we floated peacefully through the crystal-clear waters for 20 minutes, taking in the magnificent limestone formations.After the refreshing cave experience, we drove north to explore ancient Mayan ruins. The combination of underground cave systems and historical ruins made for an ideal blend of adventure and cultural exploration. This excursion perfectly suited our family with older children, offering both excitement and educational value. Highly recommend this tour for families with kids who can handle some light hiking!

Amazing experience! Our entire family had a great time. Paul was the best. He was so patient with all of our requests and questions, very knowledgable, and great with the kids.

Wayne (the general) was very accommodating and entertaining. The tubing is very gentle. Wayne provided bug spray which was definitely needed and appreciated. Very comfortable car. There are changing rooms and showers at the caves, bring a change of clothes and a towel. Lunch was provided at a cafe at the caves, served a classic belize meal, was good.

Dorian picked us up at the airport & chauffeured us in a comfortable air conditioned car. He was friendly & knowledgeable about the county itself, the culture, & the Mayans. He walked the grounds of Altun Ha with us, taking our pictures, & telling us all kinds of history. The cave tubing was amazing! Our guide was hilarious & down to earth. He took us on a short hike through the jungle & then safely guided us down the river. He was very knowledgeable as well about the cave system & the country as well. The traditional Belizean lunch afterwards was absolutely delicious! Dorian also stopped for us to try some traditional homemade cashew wine! Couldn’t have asked for better guides!

Paul was waiting for us right outside cruise terminal as indicated. He happily agreed to a small change of plans with us, and we were on our way. The caves are a magnificent experience, and Paul was excellent to allow us to enjoy the peacefullness and tranquility of the ride. I would have liked to know that there are 9 caves! We of course only did 1 because of the schedule, but if you plan ahead, ask to do at least 2. They are fantastic. Paul showed us around town and was great to chat with. We really enjoyed our day and would recommend Paul and Private Belize Tours for sure!

Paul was an amazing guide!! Super knowledgeable and kind hearted. After each adventure he would take the time to introduce us to local artists and vendors to interact and learn more. My wife and I felt safe and just had an amazing time In such a beautiful country

This was the only tour that offered both Cave tubing and Mayan ruins. It is a very private tour, just me and my partner. You have to drive fast to make it to adventures, but our driver Dorian had no problem with that.The cave tubing did require a further walk than expected, but was worth it in the end. Wear swim shoes, don’t attempt barefoot! ((If you have trouble walking, this is probably not a good idea for you.)) Flacco was an excellent guide through the cave. We really liked him a lot.The Altun Ha site was awesome. It’s a very open site, so wear sunscreen. It was all worth doing.Beware, to get to port requires a water taxi. The ship (Carnival) didn’t let us leave until their ship’s tours were already departed. It took a whole hour from the time we go on taxi boat, to the time it left ship and arrived at the port. Then, at the last minute, they informed us that we had to be back by 3:15. That gave us only 6 hours for the entire tour. Call your cruise line and ask what time you can actually arrive at land and what time you have to board taxi to get back. Our ship said we got to port at 8am and departed at 5pm. But the reality was we got to port at 9am and had to leave by 3:15pm.Thankfully our private driver took good care of us.

Had a fantastic time with Earl! The day was perfect starting from San Pedro to Altun Ha Temple to a Fanstastic Lunch to ending our day floating down through the beautiful Myan Caves, we could not have ask for better guides and a better day! Highly recommend this company.

The Altun Ha and cave tubing tour was great. Juan and Paul took good care of us and made our day enjoyable. We initially planned to see the ruins first then go tubing, but they were aware of a large group coming off a cruise ship so they asked if we wanted to switch the order of things so we would have less crowding. We took their advice and had an exceptional time. Lunch was provided between the excursions (we were served the Belizean national dish and were not disappointed). Paul gave us lots of information on the history of Belize and the sites we visited. Our guides were patient with us and when we ignored their repeated warnings about missing the ferry (whoops) they added a stop at a rum factory to keep us entertained and minimize a boring wait for the next one (for context, corralling our group of nine was like herding cats).This excursion is best for folks who are able to tolerate long van rides that can sometimes be bumpy and/or winding, walking on uneven surfaces and climbing into/out of a tube on a river.The care we received from this tour company was exceptional and I highly recommend them.

Very friendly guide, beautiful ruins and easy drive there. Unfortunately we missed out on the cave because of high waters

Our tour guide was great - we got to see so much and learned a lot about the area and the sites. Unfortunately the description did not fully match as lunch was to be included but was not. Makes for a long day without any time to eat. Description needs to be updated. Other than that it was a great day.

As a Belizean, experiencing such a refreshing treasure that we have, was awesome. It was also very interesting to learn about some of our Mayan history associated with the cave.

Our guide Paul was very knowledgeable and did everything possible to ensure we had a great experience! Our trip was a little different since we were traveling right in the middle of covid, so it was just the the two of us, (my husband and me) and some places we would normally have stopped were closed down, (Paul recommended a restaurant called Amigo’s that looked like it would have been great!) But even with us being in the midst of a pandemic Paul was excellent and knowledgeable, and gave us a great tour of the ruins at Altun Ha (literally private as no one else was even at the park) and he made sure we made it safely through the cave tubing even when some extra paddling was required in the shallow parts! Paul did an excellent job, and we would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Belize!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belize.

Do not miss the Cave Tubing! Our guide, Ellsworth, was awesome and very funny! He was very knowledgeable about the island and made sure to keep us happy. I definitely recommend requesting him! We drove out to the caves while he pointed out various interesting things. Once at the excursion start, we had a 30 minute hike to the cave that was full of beautiful greenery and interesting things to see. Ellsworth pointed out different plants and things along the way. When we got to the cave mouth the real adventure began. It was just magnificent and Ellsworth pulled us along and made sure we were safe and together the whole time. After we had an authentic island lunch and Ellsworth stopped to purchase us bottles of water. We were short on time due to our boat arriving late so we opted not to do Altun Ha even though Ellsworth assured us we could make it. Instead, he gave us a driving tour of Belize City which was very interesting and worth seeing and we stopped for pictures by the water. If you do not want to do a lot of driving, I suggest doing just the Cave Tubing. It is an hour from port to the cave then an hour to Altun Ha and an hour back to the port. There are also a number of things you can do enroute to the cave tubing as well as zip lining at the cave.

This excursion was awesome! Our tour guide, Paul, was great! He was very talkative and really showed us a good time! Highly recommend this excursion!
