The owner of our lodge in Belize arranged this half day cave tubing. Our guide was Dione, and it was only myself, my husband and our 24 year old daugher on this cave tubing trip. It was a lot of fun, we saw some beautiful cave formations and enjoyed the opportunity to cool down in the river. At some points it was pretty shallow (lift your butt) but as Dione promised he got us through. Dione was a great guide, and made the whole experience a lot of fun. We had lunch afterwards on site, and the food was very good - try the ceviche.

5. The Belize Zoo
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,838 reviews
The Belize Zoo is an institution that cares for over 150 native wildlife, and promotes Conservation, Education, Recreation, and Research. It is also the first nature destination in Belize that is accessible to visitors with physical disabilities. We are committed to the conservation of Belize's wildlife and its habitats through the establishment of a well maintained zoological facility and education center, both poised to bring about a greater environmental awareness to the people living in Belize, and to visitors from abroad. In 2014, the Zoo became the first nature destination in the country accessible to persons with physical disabilities. TBZ believes that by bringing the people closer to the animals, which are their natural heritage, they will feel proud of these special resources, and wish to protect them for future generations. All Zoo "residents" were once pets; donated to the Zoo; rescues found injured, abandoned or orphaned and brought in rehabilitation; or born at the Zoo. The Belize Zoo receives no financial support from the Government of Belize, and generates funding to care for its residents through admission fees, tours, donations, and adoption and membership programs.

We *loved* this little zoo! We stayed a night at the Zoo's Education Center (excellent budget accommodation) and did the night tour. The night tour is totally worth it! Zookeeper Jose walked us through to visit with the tapirs and big cats - it was an amazing experience to come face to face with the cougar and the jaguar. We then went again the next morning to see the animals that are awake during the day. The zoo is run by people passionate about preserving Belize's wildlife, and all the animals are either rescues or were born there. The enclosures are large and jungle like. This means that the animals have a great environment, but sometimes it might be hard to see them - but it gets our vote because it means the animals are happy!

Although Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary was not on our official itinerary, our guide indulged me and stopped for about 45 minutes. From one waterside spot, we literally saw about 40 bird species in that short time. Several were life birds for me---including the magnificent Jabiru stork. I cannot recommend Crooked Tree enough---especially for birdwatchers. I will definitely return and spend a LOT more time there.

We arranged for someone from the zoo to pick us up from where we were staying in Belmopan, bring us to the zoo, have a personal tour and then drop us off at our hotel in Belize City. Next time, I would stay at the sanctuary.

ACES Educational Crocodile Eco-Sanctuary provides visitors with an amazing opportunity to view threatened and vulnerable American and Morelet's crocodiles while also providing an educational tour through the exhibits. The potential for seeing other wildlife, especially birds, is very likely!

Be sure to stop and do these 2 hikes. The first is a challenging “straight up” hike to a valley lookout. This hike is steep and challenging so you will earn your waterfall swim afterward. Then go to the waterfall for a quick chilly swim – so refreshing after the lookout hike. The rangers are super friendly and helpful.
