ATV and zipline combo was a blast
We booked the ATV and zipline tour from San Pedro and it was the perfect day adventure. The water taxi left at 6:30 AM and our guide was waiting for us in Belize City when we arrived. The ATV portion was incredible with muddy jungle trails that had us laughing the entire time. After the ATV ride we moved on to the zipline course which gave us amazing views of the rainforest canopy. Soaring between the platforms high in the trees was exhilarating. We were back in San Pedro by evening. Great value for the price and everything was well organized.

Perfect adventure from San Pedro
This was exactly what we were looking for. A fun adventure day on the mainland without it being too overwhelming. The ATV trails through the Belizean jungle were exciting and our guide made sure everyone felt comfortable on the ATVs before we started. The zipline was the highlight for me because the views from above the canopy were absolutely stunning. You really feel like you are flying over the jungle. The water taxi ride to and from San Pedro was smooth and scenic. Highly recommend this tour.

Great combo tour from the island
My wife and I took this ATV and zipline tour from San Pedro and had an amazing time. The early morning water taxi was easy and comfortable. Once on the mainland our guide drove us out to the jungle site. The ATV ride was about 45 minutes through thick jungle with mud puddles and narrow trails. Neither of us had ridden ATVs before but the guide gave great instructions and we picked it up quickly. The zipline course had multiple runs between tall trees with incredible views of the surrounding rainforest. The whole day was perfectly paced and we got back to San Pedro with time to enjoy the evening.
