Belize offers a variety of exciting inland tours for active families. These tours provide opportunities for adventure, exploration, and bonding. Here are five of the best options:
Cave Tubing and Xunantunich:
A popular adventure combo, this tour allows you to float through underground caves on inner tubes and swim through stunning caverns filled with mystery and intrigue. Children also love exploring the stunning Mayan ruins and learning about the ancient Maya.
Horseback Riding:
Explore the scenic landscapes of Belize on horseback. Many tours cater to riders of all levels, making it a great activity for families. You can ride through the jungle, along rivers, and even visit Mayan ruins.
Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve:
This reserve is a natural playground for active families. You can visit Big Rock Falls, Rio On Pools, and Rio Frio cave. Enjoy hiking, swimming, and picnicking in the beautiful surroundings.
Wildlife and Bird Watching:
Belize is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Guided tours allow you to spot a wide variety of birds and animals in their natural habitat. The Belize Zoo is also a family-friendly option for animal lovers.
Remember to check the age and skill requirements for these tours, as they can vary. It's important to prioritize safety when traveling with active children. Always choose reputable tour operators who provide proper equipment and experienced guides.
Love these 3 options. The family farm riding tour is just right for youngish children 4yr olds, and up, it lets parents relax and enjoy the ride while their children are on their own horse with an assistant (this option is perfect to combine with a guided tour to Xunantunich in an air conditioned vehicle OR go for an afternoon swim to the Big Rock waterfalls)
But of course, you can't skip cave tubing, especially if you love swimming and exploring unique cave systems - Nohoch Che'en cave aka ''Jaguar Paw'' is the place to go to
