Xunantunichマヤ寺院とビッグロックフォールズコンボ

Burn was such an amazing, detailed, laid back guide. The Xunantunich and Big Rock combo was so much fun! Just the right amount of hiking, swimming, sunshine and history.

We had a great day at the Mayan site… truly surreal walking into history. We then went to Big Rock Falls. It was a perfect activity to do on a very hot day. The water was perfect and refreshing. The waterfalls were beautiful. Just a heads up, there are no lifeguards, so it is swim at your own risk. Also, the rocks are very slippery. There was a smaller rock that was perfect for jumping. Also, there was a very tall cliff that some people were jumping. It was very dangerous to climb up the cliff walls while your feet are wet. I did it… the jump was great … But I wouldn’t recommend it. It was extremely dangerous and I slipped twice… because the rocks were slippery and steep. it would’ve been very hard to Get help if god forbid, I got hurt. Afterwards I heard that people do get seriously hurt there. Also, I would recommend asking your tour guide for Lifejackets if there are any weak swimmers in your group. We didn’t think to ask beforehand…

Had the best time with Pedro from Cayo Inland Expedition to Xunantunich and Big Rock Falls! Pedro was very informative and answered our questions and then some. He graciously took pictures of us and went with our flow so we can enjoy every minute. Great meal at Benny’s Kitchen in between! This was a great combo trip!

Josh was knowledgeable, helpful, and good to talk with. Xunantunich was impressive though not a huge site. It was a fun trip, crossing the river, swimming at the falls, and a delicious lunch at a local restaurant too (try the Pibil). Just a few of us on the tour, so very personal service.

The combo tour was perfect--first the temple with all the historic context. Our guide, Dimas, included facts and stories that made the place come alive. As birders, we especially appreciated his knowledge not only of the place but about its ecology. The Bog Rock swim hole was the perfect aftermath. There were lots of places to jump, slide and climb. The drive to and from provided additional opportunities to see this beautiful place.

We booked this trip and asked Cayo Inland if we can add a lunch at the Gaia Riverlodge. They accommodated our request at no additional cost as we were the only ones on the tour. Our tour guide O’Neil was fantastic! He took his time to bring to life the Mayan culture by involving our family in the storytelling which kept it interesting for the kids. He was patient when we took our time at the falls and helped the kids navigate the trail safely. I would highly recommend this tour particularly with ONeil!

We came during the off season (July) so it was just the two of us on the tour. We were picked up from our hotel in San Ignacio and driven to the ruins. Our Guide. Bemas (not sure on spelling) was awesome! This was our favorite tour of the trip purely because Bemas was so great. He was kind and welcoming. He also had extensive knowledge about the Mayans and the site. After the Mayan site we stopped at a local restaurant where we picked our lunch. I had the black soup which tasted exactly like chicken noodle soup. My boyfriend had a pork dish and said it was delicious. We then drove to the falls. It required bit of a hike down, there were some stairs, not too long of a walk but it was a bit of an exercise. Once there, Bemas gave us tips on how to swim closer to the waterfall. You are swimming against the current so be prepared. We had fun jumping off rocks and into the refreshing water. We were told we could stay as long as we wanted (probably since it was just the two of us) but once a large youth group showed up we decided it was time to leave. We still had a fun time swimming. Then we changed into dry clothes and were dropped off back at our hotel. It felt like a chill version of what we had already done, it's good for when you want something but not too much.

Didn't take the tour but was here with another tour guide. It's good information to hear about the ruins and the history known so far. It's a fantastic place for anyone who really is keen to see and learn more about the Mayan ruins. My son couldn't wait to run up to the top of the structures.

Our guide O’Niel was amazing and very knowledgeable. He brought everything to life. The falls were spectacular nestled away in the jungle. We had a fantastic time and are looking forward to our next tour

On the surface, this company provides the same service as many others and I have been hard pressed to find a bad guide in our previous trips to Belize. That said, the guides in this company are the best we have ever come across and Dimas takes the Gold. His knowledge of the sites, gentle and attentive approach with kids and seemingly endless well of patience with our challenging group whose ages ranged from 7 to 80 years old was astounding. His willingness to slow down or speed up according to our needs left us with a completely customized experience. The seamlessness of pickups and drop-offs maximized our time seeing the wonders of Belize without any waiting around. At the site itself, my children were sometimes more interested in the surrounding flora and fauna—so after helping us climb the pyramids, he easily switched gears and sat with the kids at a tarantula den for nearly an hour. He sat and gently twirled a blade of grass at the entrance until this beautiful, black spider with brilliant bolts of blue popped out to investigate. Over and over. He gave each kid a try and never became impatient. As we walked, he would stop at an ant hill or at a line of leaf cutter ants and let the kids examine and help to teach the kids about their ecology. For my dad, an old farmer, he answered exhaustive questions about the economy and farming practices. He also took us on a side trip to Lamanai where another guide was the lead person, but it was always Dimas who lagged behind with the kids to let them explore at their own pace and help them find such hidden wonders as a coatimundi who was stealthily sneaking up a nearby tree or a howler monkey Jumping high above us. It’s impossible to quantify all the wonderful things that Dimas brought to the table. I will say this. We were traveling with a family group of rowdy children and aging grandparents—and not one moment of that trip was negative. Not once did we feel like a burden or a problem. We were allowed to explore at our pace, and because of it we experienced so many unexpected wonders and no one felt exhausted or rushed.
