In this episode, we sit down with Dorian Rivero, owner of Private Belize Adventure and tour guide of over 20 years, to discuss what activities are available to visitors based in Belize City such as those looking for a way to enjoy their Belize layover during a cruise.

Belize City, being one of the first settlements, has a rich history and many historical relics, whether it be the artifacts in museums or the colonial style building, there is always a sight to see. From here, people are in the perfect location to embark on quick trips to more exotic destinations such as an ancient Mayan city or cave tubing through a gorgeous underground river. With Dorian and Private Belize Adventure, take a virtual walkthrough of a combo tour where guests book private trips to do just that, spending the day exploring the ruins of Altun Ha in addition to floating down the blue waters and breathtaking caverns of Nohoch Che’en. Anyone can book this tour on Belizing.com

Belize Ground Shuttle is a professional shuttle company operating daily shared shuttle service for travelers between San Ignacio, Placencia, Hopkins and the Belize International Airport ... more(BZE).
Altun Ha is unique, as the ancient city once served as a center of manufacturing and trade yet is not built on a body of water. Meanwhile, Nohoch Che’en provides an unforgettable cave-tubing experience where guests also get the opportunity to explore some dry branches of the cave to uncover artifacts frozen in time like abandoned Mayan pottery, left untouched for ages.

In between or along the way shop at nearby establishments, and when it comes time, enjoy the delicious Belizean lunch provided. No need to worry about any park fees or equipment needed for your adventure; everything is included: tubes, life vests, helmets, and lights.

There are many memories to be made from Belize City.
Let’s go make them.

You can explore the wonders of the Mayan world through various activities such as visiting the famous Mayan ruins of Altun Ha, relaxing with cave tubing, and going on a sightseeing ... moretour around Belize.

Your tour guide will meet you at your hotel, the cruise terminal, the water taxi, or the Municipal in Belize City. You'll be transported in air-conditioned transportation to Altun Ha, which is about 45-60 minutes away from Belize City. Please note that the order of activities may change depending on the time and conditions.

Altun Ha is a Maya ceremonial center and trading hub that dates back to 250 BC. It's located in the heart of the Belize rainforest and is home to over 275 structures. The site was discovered in 1958, and if weather conditions permit, you can still climb to the top of the temples for a breathtaking view of the rainforest. Experience the aura of these ancient stargazers who once lived in the Belize rainforests.

After the guided excursion to Altun Ha, your guide will take you to Nohoch Che'en Archaeological Park, which is about 60 minutes away from the ruins. This park is the starting point for your cave tubing adventure. Cave tubing is one of the most popular guided activities in Belize.

Once you arrive, you'll have access to the facilities before your excursion guide reviews the safety rules and instructions. You'll receive a headlamp and then follow your guide on a 30-minute walk to the cave entrance.

Your excursion guide will take you to explore the mysterious caves that were once considered the ancient underworld of the Maya. You'll see spectacular crystal formations that are over a million years old and shadows on the cave walls as you gently float along. The caves are a living museum where you can experience the past in its historical and natural form. You'll glide past openings in the ceiling, filtering jungle light as you float through underground river caves sparkling with studded stalactites and stalagmites. You'll get to float through three caves in total.

Once the cave tubing portion of your Belize adventure is completed, you'll enjoy an original and traditional Belizean lunch with refreshments included. This Belize Cave Tubing and Altun Ha Mayan Ruins tour is safe and dependable, and it will leave you with many beautiful memories of Belize.
