Triple threat tour!
What a day! Started at Altun Ha which was cool - smaller than Tikal but way less crowded. Then ziplining through the jungle canopy was a blast. But the cave kayaking? That was next level. Paddling through these massive caves with stalactites hanging overhead, seeing pottery shards left by the Maya - absolutely magical. Guides were safety-focused but fun. Lunch was tasty. Long day but packed with awesome experiences.

Best adventure tour we've done
My wife and I have done adventure tours in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru - this one tops them all for value and variety. Altun Ha ruins were fascinating, guide gave us good context. Zipline course was well-maintained and thrilling (probably 7-8 lines total). Cave kayaking was the standout - such a unique experience. You're paddling in near darkness with headlamps, seeing ancient cave formations. Everyone in our group was grinning ear to ear.

Brilliant combination of activities
Genuinely didn't know what to expect from this tour but it completely exceeded hopes. Altun Ha was lovely - not overwhelming in size, which meant we had time to properly explore. Zipline was proper fun, got some good videos. The cave kayaking though - absolutely brilliant. Bit eerie at first paddling in the dark but then you adjust and it's magical. Saw pottery and tools the Maya left behind. Guides were excellent throughout.

Unique and exciting
This tour is special. Cave kayaking is not something you can do just anywhere, and doing it in caves where the Maya performed ceremonies adds a whole layer of significance. The kayaking itself is easy - no whitewater or technical stuff, just floating through these cathedral-like chambers. Zipline beforehand was fun, good warm-up. Altun Ha provided the historical context. Well-organized tour, good guides, interesting mix of activities.

Perfect family adventure
Took our teenagers (13 & 15) on this tour and they absolutely loved it. Altun Ha was educational without being boring. Zipline had them hooting and hollering with excitement. Cave kayaking was the highlight - our son said it felt like being in an Indiana Jones movie. Guides were patient and made sure everyone felt comfortable. Lunch was good. Great way to spend a day with teens who are hard to impress!

Exceeded all expectations
Read reviews before booking but this still blew me away. The variety keeps it interesting all day. Altun Ha first thing in the morning before it gets hot was smart. Zipline through the rainforest was exhilarating. But paddling through those caves with ancient pottery still sitting where it was left centuries ago? Mind-blowing. Not overly strenuous but definitely active. Highly recommend.

Top-notch adventure
Absolutely loved this tour. We did several tours during our Belize trip and this was far and away the best. Altun Ha is stunning, the restoration work is impressive. Zipline was thrilling without feeling dangerous. Cave kayaking was extraordinary - the formations inside are spectacular and knowing the cultural significance made it even more special. Guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Well worth the money.

Super fun day
This tour rocks. Altun Ha was cool, learned a lot about Maya astronomy and agriculture. Zipline had some long runs with great views of the canopy. Cave kayaking was insane - you're paddling through these massive underground chambers with bats flying around (in a cool way not a scary way). Saw actual Maya pottery and ceremonial stuff. Guides were awesome. Bring a waterproof case for your phone, you'll want pics.

Unforgettable experience
This tour offers something truly special. While I enjoyed Altun Ha and found the zipline exciting, the cave kayaking was transformative. Floating through darkness with only headlamps, surrounded by formations that took millennia to form, seeing evidence of ancient ceremonies - it was deeply moving. Our guide was respectful of the sacred nature of the caves while making it accessible and safe. Remarkable day.

Great value, great experience
Three activities in one day at this price point is a steal. Altun Ha was more extensive than I expected, got to climb the main temple. Zipline was well-run and fun. Cave kayaking was phenomenal - the caves are huge and beautiful, plus seeing the archaeological context made it educational too. Pickup was punctual, lunch was included and decent, guides were professional. Zero complaints, would definitely recommend.

Incredible adventure
Absolutely incredible day. Altun Ha was beautiful and our guide really knew the history. Zipline through the jungle was exhilarating. But the cave kayaking - wow. Just wow. You paddle through these enormous caves seeing stalactites, stalagmites, and actual Maya artifacts. It's surreal. The whole tour was exceptionally well organized. Equipment was good quality. Guides were fantastic. Can't recommend this enough!
