Belize Jungle Zipline & Bocawina Falls Rappelling Tour

Summary

Rainforest Ziplining and Waterfall Adventure in Belize

You’ll soar above jungle trees on Belize’s longest zipline, hike through lush rainforest to Bocawina Falls, then rappel right down beside rushing water before cooling off in natural pools below. This is one of those adventures you’ll talk about long after you’ve dried off.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the sound—birds chattering somewhere above us as we clipped onto the zipline. That first launch? It’s a rush. You’re flying over green treetops, wind in your face, and for a second you forget you’re even strapped in. The whole zipline course stretches out for more than a mile, so there’s plenty of time to get comfortable. Our guide, Luis, kept us laughing between platforms—he pointed out a toucan perched on a branch just before my turn. By the last line, my nerves had turned into pure excitement.

Lunch at the lodge felt well-earned after all that adrenaline. There’s something about eating surrounded by rainforest sounds—distant waterfalls, leaves rustling—that makes even a simple meal taste better. Afterward, we set off on foot for Bocawina Falls. The hike isn’t tough (about 20 minutes), but it’s humid; I could smell wet earth and wildflowers along the trail. When we reached the falls, the real challenge began: rappelling down a hundred feet of slick rock with water splashing everywhere. My hands were shaking at first, but our guide talked me through every step. At the bottom, jumping into that cool pool felt like hitting reset.
