Because we are based San Ignacio, we talked more about what to do inland. Apart from that, Belize has plenty of tours and activities along the coast and on the Islands. Go Scuba Diving, Fishing, Snorkeling or Whale diving and Snorkeling with Turtles. A more relaxing thing to do in the country is to simply do nothing. Yes! You heard right, just sit on the beach or at a local beach bar and enjoy the Belizean people, hospitality, food and drinks; while kids play and have fun on miles of beach.
Belize was cited as one of the top countries to visit in 2021 by lonely planet and many other travel organizations. They all talked about the amazing places to see and exciting things to do. San Ignacio Town is where you can find the majority of the things to do in the Jungle. Go Hiking, Birding, Canoeing, Spelunking, Rappelling, Swimming and so much more.
Below is our list of the best activities and tours to do during your stay with us, including the many sites and attractions on the way to San Ignacio from different parts of the country. These are the main reasons many people book our shuttle service and travel to this part of Belize.
Jungle Pontoon Waterfall Adventure is unlike any other tour you will experience in the area. Picture mesmerizing views of the river banks as we visit 3 spectacular waterfalls from the seat of our Jungle Pontoon, with a stop on the river bank for a picnic and the option of Jungle tubing.
Actun Tunichil Muknal â ATM cave, now a national park, should be on your bucket list or on your top 10 things to do in Belize. This guided trip into Belize ATM Cave takes you deep into the Mayan underworld known as âXibalbaâ.
Located in the Mayan Biosphere Forest in our neighboring Guatemala, the ancient Maya city of Tikal offers an experience unlike any other. The City of Tikal was one of the most powerful kingdoms, and at the height of its rule, was home to almost 120,000 Mayas
Looking for something you can do on your own? Here is our recommendation. You can take a taxi or even walk to these places, buy a ticket in some cases and wonder about, a tour guide may be optional.
Cahal Pech â This small set of Mayan ruins is San Ignacioâs most visited tourist attraction. The site contains a visitorsâ center and restored plazas and temples. The climb up the hill to Cahal Pech is strenuous but rewarding, and the ruinsâ site and the view of San Ignacio Town from such elevation are spectacular.
Farmers Market â If your stay includes a Saturday morning, head to the townâs open-air market. Farmers from all over the Cayo District arrive to offer fresh fruit, vegetables, jams, and dairy products. This is a great place to stock up on inexpensive snacks for your outings and taste some local food for breakfast.
Green Iguana Exhibit â The San Ignacio Resort Hotel runs a conservation program for the Green Iguana with the aim of creating awareness and educating visitors and locals about these colorful creatures.
Xunantunich â Otherwise known as the âthe Maiden of the Rock,â Xunantunich is a must-see Mayan ruin site. Climb the El Castillo pyramid ruin for a fantastic view of the entire site and the Mopan and Macal rivers.
Our shuttle connects you to a destination at any given time, the one youâre leaving and the one to where you’re headed. For instance, if you’re going to Placencia from Belize City, you can easily visit the Belize Zoo, Inland Blue Hole, or some other tours your driver may recommend. Points of interest can also turn out to be things you can do throughout the country. As a matter of fact, did you know that thereâs a place on the Hummingbird Highway where Gravity is the reverse? Instead of going downhill, you go up.
Cocopele Inn is a great alternative to many hotels and resorts in the area. They can assist you in arranging tours and activities, many of which arenât listed on this page, for example, The Butterfly Farm, Botanical Gardens, and more.
