The "Do-It-All" Private Combo | Altun Ha, Cave Tubing & Monkeys

Ruins. River. Rainforest. Can you see the best of Belize in one day? Yes—but only on a private tour. We have optimized this route to fit three major adventures into a single day without feeling rushed. Explore the temples, float the caves, and howl with the monkeys.

The Experience

Stop 1: The Sanctuary (Wildlife)

We start with the wildlife in the Belize River Valley. A guided nature walk puts you face-to-face with the Black Howler Monkeys in their natural habitat.

Stop 2: The Temples (History)

Next, we visit Altun Ha. Since we are on a private schedule, we aim to hit the ruins when the big groups are eating lunch, giving us a quieter experience at the Temple of the Sun God.

Stop 3: The Cave Float (Adventure)

We finish with a refreshing swim. Hike through the jungle and float through the crystal caves of Nohoch Che'en to cool off before the drive home.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this too much for one day?
It is an active day, but very doable. The drive times between locations are reasonable (30-45 mins), which gives you time to rest in the A/C van between activities.

2. Can I do this from a cruise ship?
Only if your ship is in port for 8+ hours. If you have a short port time, we recommend dropping one activity (doing just 2 instead of 3) to be safe.

3. Which order do we do them in?
Your guide will decide the order on the day of the tour based on weather and crowds to ensure you have the best experience.

4. Do I have to swim for cave tubing?
You should be comfortable in water, but the life vest makes you float. The river is generally calm and shallow in many parts.

5. What kind of lunch is included?
We typically serve a traditional Belizean meal: Rice and Beans with Stewed Chicken and plantains. Vegetarian options are available upon request.

6. Is there a place to change clothes?
Yes, there are changing rooms and restrooms available at the Cave Tubing site.

7. What if it rains?
The rain actually makes the rainforest more beautiful! However, if the river levels rise too high for safety, we will cancel the tubing portion and offer a refund or alternative activity.
