For many travelers who come to Ambergris Caye, the perfect day consists of relaxing by the pool, taking a walk on the beach and sipping cocktails before a gourmet meal. This sounds like a fabulous vacation, but there is lot more to offer visitors who are up for adventure. Whether you are traveling as a family and want to explore somewhere unusual or you are a serious adrenaline junkie ready for the thrill of a lifetime, one of these adventure tours Belize offers will be the perfect solution.
Caving Expeditions
If you are looking for adventure tours, Belize is the place to go. Riddled with caves, there are countless opportunities to venture into the mouth of dark caves, which are illuminated only by the glow of your flashlight. At the infamous Black Hole Drop, you climb down into a pitch-black cave and then jump with a splash into the dark water. For something just a little tamer, get the whole family on-board for a tubing adventure through underground caves, and explore these dark rivers in a completely unexpected way.
Explore Ancient Mayan Culture in Guatemala

If you don't mind the quick jump across the border, you can explore some of the incredible ancient architecture and history in Guatemala's Mayan ruins. You will uncover crumbling temples in the heart of the jungle, breathtaking ceremonial art and a glimpse into one of the most fascinating civilizations that ever walked the planet. While you're there, try a ropes course in the jungle's tree canopy.
