Xunantunich Maya Site & Barton Creek Cave Canoeing

Combine ancient Maya history with an exciting river and cave adventure on this full-day tour from your San Ignacio hotel.

Start your morning with a visit to Xunantunich, one of Belize’s most impressive Maya sites. Cross the river on a traditional hand-cranked ferry and explore the hilltop city with your expert guide. Walk through plazas and temples, including El Castillo, the tallest structure in Belize, offering panoramic views of the surrounding jungle and Guatemala.

After your historical exploration, enjoy a delicious included lunch before heading to Barton Creek Cave for a guided canoeing adventure. Paddle along the river into the cave system, gliding past stalactites, stalagmites, and ancient Maya ceremonial sites hidden within the limestone caves. Your guide will provide equipment, safety instructions, and fascinating commentary about the cave’s geology and history.

Return to your hotel after a full day of history, adventure, and Belizean nature.
