Belize Cave Tubing & Zip Lining Tour with Lunch: includes all equipment & fees

You float through caves lit only by your headlamp, then launch yourself between treetops.

Cave tubing and zip lining in Belize combines a twenty-minute rainforest hike, tubing down the river through caves, and tree-to-tree zip lining, all in one five-hour activity with a guide, lunch and all equipment provided. Children from age seven are welcome; a moderate fitness level and minimum height of forty inches are required.

The Experience

The day starts with a twenty-minute hike through the rainforest to reach the river. Once there, you climb into a tube and float downstream through the caves—the kind of caves the Maya used centuries ago. Your headlamp cuts through the darkness as the current carries you deeper into the rock formations. No paddling, no fighting the water; you're just moving through it, watching the walls pass.

After the caves, you climb out and head to the zip line course. You'll move from tree to tree, suspended above the jungle canopy, with views down into the forest below. The setup is straightforward: helmet, harness, and a guide who walks you through each line before you take it. By the time you reach the last platform, you've covered ground most day trips never touch.

Lunch is included, along with all the gear—helmet, headlamp, life vest and tube. A live guide in English or Spanish leads the whole thing, and pickup is arranged. The five-hour window means you're back with time left in the day, but you've done three separate things that most people think of as separate trips.

Is this one for you?This combines three separate adventures—hiking, caving and zip lining—in one morning or afternoon, so you don't have to choose between them or book three different days. The guide handles the logistics and the route, which means you show up and move through three different landscapes without planning the transitions.

Top questions

Do I need to know how to swim for the cave tubing part?

You're floating in a tube with a life vest, so swimming ability is not required. The river current does the work; you stay seated and move with the water.

What's the zip line experience like for someone who's never done it before?

The guide walks you through the setup and each line before you take it. You move tree to tree at canopy height with views into the rainforest below; the course is built into the activity, so instruction is part of the day.

Is the rainforest hike difficult?

The hike is twenty minutes and leads to the river; it's the warm-up before tubing. You need at least a moderate fitness level for the full activity, which includes hiking, tubing and zip lining across five hours.

What should I bring or wear?

Wear clothes you don't mind getting wet and bring a change for after. The operator provides helmet, headlamp, life vest and tube; you just need to show up ready to move.

Can children do this activity?

Children from age seven are welcome. They must be at least forty inches tall and able to manage a moderate activity level across the five hours; infants can sit on an adult's lap during tubing.
