• Explore Altun Ha Mayan ruins
• Zipline over Belizean rainforest

The experience

Hard hats, gloves, harness and safety straps come with you. You'll soar above the rainforest canopy and cross pristine rivers on the ziplines, watching for howler monkeys that sometimes swing across the same lines. The guide points out plants and animals as you move through the treetop course, then you descend back to solid ground and head to the ruins.

Altun Ha is a Mayan city you'll explore with your personal guide, moving at your own pace through the temples and learning the history and culture of the site. The combination saves you the cost and time of booking two separate tours: the zipline and the ruins visit happen in a single outing with one price.

Private transportation picks you up from Belize City in an air-conditioned vehicle, handles the drive to both sites and brings you back. Bottled water is provided throughout the day. The whole experience runs between 4 and 5 hours from start to finish.
