Explore sacred Mayan temples, lush jungles and snorkel with sharks in the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean!

Watch for playful monkeys and colourful parrots as you explore the jungle and temples of Tikal, float along the river and explore ancient Mayan caves, zip-line through the trees and snorkel with sharks on this weeklong trip of a lifetime!

Starting the adventure from our Belize City hotel, we will make our way to the jungle for a truly unique experience. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself marooned in the midst of a rainforest? We will learn the ingenious "Survivor" skills and secrets from our jungle guides who have done such things first hand! We will learn how to make fire using only a machete and a piece of bamboo, how to identify sources of water and much more. We will also visit a Robinson Crusoe jungle style dwelling made from all natural materials - vines, branches and the bark of various trees.

After surviving the jungle, enjoy the adrenaline rush of a guided ATV / quad bike tour through the Peccary Hills. Our trails are a good mix of various terrains leading to some secluded Maya Caves. We will explore these sacred caves that were once used by the Mayans for important religious ceremonies. As we walk through the caves, be on the look out ancient ceramic pots forgotten for centuries.

Next, we continue up the Western Highway for an amazing aerial trek, a zip-line tour through broadleaf rainforest. Zip over 100 feet between treetop platforms (70 feet high at canopy level) for a true bird’s eye view of all the tropical palms and trees. It is an incredibly exhilarating experience!

Crossing the border to Guatemala, we will spend the day visiting the most famous of all Mayan archaeological sites, Tikal. Situated in the jungles of the Peten region, the site has been extensively excavated, however, keep an eye in the trees as you will likely see monkeys or parrots in the lush jungle.

We will spend our final days on the Caribbean island paradise of Ambergris Caye. There will be ample opportunities for snorkelling alongside docile sharks and graceful sting rays or SCUBA diving at the 2nd largest coral reef in the world. The evenings will be perfect for enjoying delicious seafood dinners under star-filled skies…a fitting end to an impressive, activity-filled tour!
