We absolutely loved our tour with Paul! Pick up from Belize Express started off our adventure to Altun Ha... We amazingly had the place to ourselves! And Paul took the time to explain the ruins and the surrounding areas to us, climbed the steps and took some great pictures for/of us. We then had any amazing lunch at the Teaky Tavern followed by exploring the forests and caves... Perfect weather, great company! We would definitely recommend booking your private tour with Paul, you will not regret it!

Travel back in time and experience what life was like in the city of Xunantunich, one of Belize’s most popular Mayan sites. This tour from San Ignacio takes you to San Jose Succotz, a Maya-Mestizo village located close to the Western Border and delivers you on an old-fashioned, hand-cranked ferryboat to the magnificent ruins deep in the Belizean rainforest. Admire astronomical carvings at El Castillo (The Castle) and sweeping views of the Belize River Valley and neighboring Melchor de Mencos, Guatemala once you’ve climbed the steep pyramid steps to the top! Hotel pickup and drop-off within San Ignacio Town are included.

Inclusions: Local guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off from within San Ignacio Town limits

Exclusions: Gratuities, Hotel pick up and Drop off outside San Ignacio Town limits

I would highly recommend for tours or transfers. My husband and I were lucky enough to have Francisco "Cisco" as our guide for the transfers and the cave tubing. He is extremely knowledgeable about the trees, plant, birds, etc. We learned a lot from him. When we transferred to Placencia, our lodging was hard to find, but Cisco stayed with us until we found the place and made sure we were able to get into the room before leaving! He even carried our bag with all our snorkel gear in it!!. He was amazing! Rick & Donna H

Our guide Wilson was so knowledgeable about the various things in the hiking trails and took his time to stop and show us the various plants and even wildlife at the Jaguar Preserve. At the end of the hike we arrived at a beautiful and refreshing waterfall that we enjoyed so much. In the afternoon we had a local maya lunch followed by this culture teaching us how they make delicious savory chocolate directly from the fruit. This was definitely an adventurous day in Belize I will never forget. Definitely a must do tour with Untame Belize from Placencia.

We are the first -- and only -- provider of super stretch, 20 passenger, SUV limousines in the country of Belize. When you go on one of Belize's amazing day tours, learn about our culture, visit our fabulous ruins and caves, and explore our wildlife adventures, why do so bouncing around in a circa-1980 panel van with a distracted driver/guide yelling over his shoulder at you? Instead, ride with a professional limo driver dedicated to only one thing -- your safety. Take a deep and meaningful dive into our culture with a top-flight guide, who accompanies you inside the limo, faces you, eye to eye, answering all your questions and catering to all your needs. Breakfast, lunch, spirits, all included. In truth, you spend more time getting to these sites than enjoying them, so why not make the transportation part of the experience? this tour is perfect for a group that wants a private tour experience.

Inclusions: zip lining equipment, Private guide and private driver, Air-conditioned vehicle, Alcoholic Beverages, Bottled water, Breakfast, Lunch, Private transportation, Soda/Pop

My husband and I were in Belize in early March for our honeymoon. We are both the type to research things before we book and were hesitant to book the cave tubing adventure with Ridge and Reef due to lack of reviews. We are so glad we booked, we had an amazing time! The company owner (Leonardo) was very involved making sure every detail went as we wanted it. He checked in with us during the tour to make sure things were good. The company was very accommodating with any and everything we needed (transportation, food, general knowledge of Belize, etc.). Ridge and Reef was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I would book this tour again in a heartbeat and I would definitely use this company again as they have proven they are trustworthy and reliable. The cave tubing tour is a MUST! The cave system we toured is one of the most unique places I have ever seen. It is absolutely beautiful. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and nice. The tour guide grew up in the area going to the cave as a child, so he was able to take us to an additional empty cave (the main cave was full of tourists) in addition to the rest of the cave system where all the tourists are. A tasty lunch of homemade tamales was also provided. If you are on the fence about booking this tour, GO FOR IT. You can always just reach out to the company, based on our experience they will be more than happy to work with you.
