Reiseverlauf
Diese Tour führt Sie zu einer Maya-Ruine, in der Sie etwas über eine große Zivilisation erfahren können, die vor über 3.000 Jahren in Belize lebte. Reisen Sie durch die Unterwelt der Maya und durch unterirdische Höhlen, die über 175.000 Jahre alt sind. Ihre Scheinwerfer enthüllen viele unberührte Kristallformationen unter der Erdoberfläche. Altun Ha wurde zum ersten Mal um 250 v. Chr. Besiedelt. Der Bau der Gebäude begann im Jahr 100 n. Chr. Und dauerte bis in die klassische Periode, die im 10. Jahrhundert endete. Rund 10.000 Mayas lebten in und um Altun Ha, einem bedeutenden Handelszentrum, wie die großen Mengen an Jade und Obsidian belegen, die hier in den frühen sechziger und siebziger Jahren ausgegraben wurden.
Altun Ha Tour: Altun Ha erstreckt sich über eine Fläche von 40 Quadratkilometern, ungefähr eine Stunde von Belize City entfernt. Es besteht aus zwei zentralen Plätzen, die von hoch aufragenden Tempeln umgeben sind, die das von Palmen übersäte Land einschließen. Auf dem größeren der beiden Plätze, der Plaza A, befindet sich ein mysteriöses Grab, das unter einem der Tempel entdeckt wurde, der als Tempel des Grünen Grabes bezeichnet wird. Jade, Schmuck, Feuersteine und Felle gehören zu den dreihundert Überresten, die hier entdeckt wurden. Cave Tubing bietet Nervenkitzel für nahezu jedes Alter und Fitnessniveau. Nach einer kurzen 30-minütigen Wanderung zum Eingang der Höhle schweben Schläuche entlang des Caves Branch River. Hören Sie das Echo Ihrer eigenen Stimme von den entfernten Wänden abprallen. Lauschen Sie dem Wasser, das von der Decke tropft und in den atemberaubenden Kammern spektakuläre Formationen bildet. Und während Sie vielleicht dunkle und klaustrophobische Durchgänge erwarten, werden Sie wahrscheinlich riesige Kammern und kathedralengroße Räume finden. Am Ende der Tour werden Sie zurück zu Ihrem Hotel oder Kreuzfahrthafen gefahren.

It was awesome. Your guide was super friendly and informative. The caves were an amazing experience and so was the tubing and learning about the ruins as well. 10/10!
My husband and I flew in to Belize City and overnighted near the ferry. Our plan was to do this tour and then take the ferry to Caye Caulker at the end of the day. We decide to go with the private tour because we were concerned about timing and making sure we made it back in time for the last ferry. It worked out perfectly! Dorian picked us up from our hotel in a nicely air conditioned vehicle and we were able to store our luggage in it. At the end of the day he dropped us off directly at the ferry terminal. Couldn’t have been easier! We started at Alun Ha which was about an hour drive from the city, He did a great job explaining the history and pointing out the perfect photo opportunities. Since it was a private tour, we were able to go at our own pace. Turns out that climbing one pyramid was enough for me 😜 After that it was about 80 minutes to our next stop for the cave tubing. We had a tasty lunch at a little restaurant that was in the park where the cave tubing was. The chicken and rice was included in the tour though the restaurant had other menu items so I’m sure they could accommodate special dietary needs. There was a bar that you could pay extra for adult beverages. We were a little surprised that the cave tubing portion of our tour was not private. We joined two sisters from NY and our guide was Paul for that part of the tour. The sisters were sweet and the group was still very small so it worked out just fine. There were facilities to change clothes at the park, which I wish we knew about in advance. It was about a 30 minute walk on a well groomed trail carrying your tubes to the launch point. Anything you bring on the water will get wet. The tubing experience was very gentle and so beautiful. After we got out of the water, there were some howler monkeys putting on quite the show. Overall a great experience! This adventure is offered by a lot of companies but I definitely think that paying a little more to make it private was well worth it!
My wife and I booked this tour for the day our cruise was petted in Belize City. It was a shorter than average day for us in Belize City due to the need to tender to/from the ship. So we got off the ship early where we met Paul. Our tour guide for the day. After loading into his very comfortable minivan we were on our way to Altun Ha. Along the way I explained to Paul that the last tender to the ship was 3:15 PM. So with this in mind Paul made sure we had time to enjoy the ruined Mayan city of Altun Ha, underground cave tubing (a must do experience), and still have a little time to buy a few handmade souvenirs from the locals before whisking us back to our ship with about half an hour to spare. Job well done! Thanks Paul 🙏
Flacco was amazing. He knew everything from natural bio, diverse species of animals and plants and stopped to show us tracks of tapir even on the cave tour. He was very sweet when we were running a little behind and needed to get back to the ship he made it happen, he was really a fun tour guide to be with. I would highly recommend Flacco. If you can request him you should! Sincerely mom and 18 year old
Fantastic trip! Our guide, Dorian reassured us he would wait while the tender dropped us to the terminal, Dorian managed to squeeze in 3 activities including tubing through the caves, zip lining in the jungle and a visit the ruins at Altun Ha. Dorian was very knowledgable and an excellent host. Thoroughly recommended!
Our group of nine really enjoyed the Altun Ha and Cave Tubing Tour that Dorian and Paul provided. They were professional, knowledgeable and affable. When our ferry from Ambergris Caye arrived later than expected, they recommended we switch our tour order to avoid the crowds from the cruise ships. They displayed that level of accommodation and flexibility throughout the day. They were intent on ensuring we got our money's worth. Definitely recommend!
This was a remarkable experience. We cruised in, got off late, the company reached out to us (even though we were unreachable thanks to the horrible Wi-Fi on the ship) and even waited for us!! We were so thankful they were still available to take us on our journey. Paul was our guide. He was everything and more the other reviewers talk about. He showed us his Belize, we went to Altun Ha, Cave tubing, and stopped at Amigos for lunch it was the most enjoyable day!
Thank you for sharing your positive experience on the Altun Ha and Cave Tubing Tour from Belize City! It's great to hear that the Private Belize Adventure went above and beyond to ensure that you were able to participate in the tour, even after you arrived late. It's always a pleasure to work with guides who are knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic, and it sounds like Paul fits this description perfectly. It's wonderful that you were able to see so much of Belize and have such a memorable and enjoyable day. I'm glad to see that you had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this tour to others. Thank you for sharing your review!
Everything was stellar! Our guide Paul was exceptional! He stayed with us, let us know what was going on, was very knowledgeable and even recommended a perfect spot for lunch. He was so wonderful we asked him to join us! The ruins were perfect for moderate activity and you could climb to the top.... if you were feeling an extra burst of energy. Sandles are perfect for the hike in to the river and the caves were beyond anything I've ever seen before. There's nothing I would add...or change!

All was great. The cave tubing was especially fantastic and so relaxing. This was one of the coolest family adventures we’ve ever experienced. The drive through the country side to the different activities was also relaxing. Paul w/ Private Adventures was an awesome and hospitable guide and very punctual picking us up at our hotel! If you are planning to have the guide drive you to the airport for a flight to one of the cayes, afterwards, make your flight reservation from the smaller municipal airport, only because it’s easier and less expensive to fly after the activities (suggested by tour operator).
Our guide, Paul, was very knowledgeable about both the caves that we tubed in and Altun Ha. He also knew to get to the caves before the cruise ship tours arrived. He knew local artists and vouched for them and had a great recommendation for lunch. We had such a good time!
