22. ATM Cave tour from Placencia
5.0· 18 reviews· 9 hoursFull-day guided trip — two-hour drive to Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve, cave climbing, swimming, and exploring Maya artifacts.
“The pickup was at 6:30, followed by a 2-hour drive where we met our guide, Francisco. He was dedicated to ensuring everyone had a fantastic experience and shared a wealth of information about the local bugs, plants, and Mayan history. Francisco encouraged questions and was honest about any limitations in his answers, all while maintaining a friendly attitude to make everyone feel welcome. He ensured we had ample time to explore the caves without feeling rushed by other tourists. The homemade lunch he provided was some of the best local food I've tasted. The caves are fascinating due to their historical and cultural importance, but it was Francisco who truly made our visit unforgettable. I was pleasantly surprised by the flat and easy hike to the cave, which had minimal bugs. The warnings about river crossings were helpful, especially given the water levels. There were sections where swimming was the only way to navigate. If I could change one thing, it would be to have brought towels and spare clothes, as there’s nowhere to find them after swimming. The damp clothing made the ride back a bit uncomfortable, but overall, it was an amazing experience. We returned to our hotel around 6 that evening, so be prepared for a full day out.”— 279elisap

“We had a fantastic time exploring Cockscomb Wildlife Preserve with Edgar. He picked us up promptly in Hopkins Village and provided engaging insights during our short drive to the preserve. Choosing to hike before tubing was the best decision, as the trails were serene and full of wildlife. After enjoying a refreshing swim in a stunning waterfall pool, we floated down the river in tubes, taking in the lovely jungle scenery. Following our adventures, we savored a Mayan lunch that was the highlight of our meals during the trip. Huge thanks to Edgar for an unforgettable day; these memories will stay with us forever.”— Leslie V

66. Cave tubing and ziplining at Jaguar Paw
4.8· 25 reviewsHalf-day adventure featuring cave tubing and zipline through Belize’s lush canopy at Jaguar Paw.
“Experiencing the natural wonders of Belize was truly magical. We began by climbing to the rainforest canopy and then enjoyed seven zip lines, the final one crossing a river. The beautiful trees and flowers surrounded us, and our guides, Victor and Kelvin, ensured our safety and comfort. After a brief drive, we went cave tubing, where Eric provided detailed explanations about the unique tree species on our 25-minute hike, as well as the ancient Mayan rituals associated with the caves. Even with other visitors at the tubing site, we felt completely alone in the serene cave system. It was a refreshing, relaxing, and memorable experience. My children had a great time and gained a lot of knowledge. We even spotted a family of coatimundi on our way back.”— Betsy R

4.7· 43 reviewsFull-day tour from Placencia to Cockscomb Basin — hiking, river tubing, and swimming at a waterfall included.
“Booking this tour was one of the best decisions we made, especially with Ian as our guide. It truly became the highlight of our week in Belize. The Tiger Fern Trail and waterfalls offered breathtaking views and a memorable experience. Ian was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining. He accommodated our last-minute changes, allowing us to undertake a more challenging hike instead of rafting. His humor and the fantastic lunch he organized made the day even better. Barefoot Services was also very flexible with our travel plans, allowing us to schedule a full-day tour just a day in advance. They contacted us directly to confirm our pickup location and were quick to respond to any emails or phone inquiries we had regarding our reservation changes.”— haileyraer
