Rainforest, River, and Nature Tours

Discover the heart of Belize's famous protected area, home to the world's first jaguar sanctuary, established in 1984, with lush tropical forests, diverse wildlife, and trails for all explorers.

Whether you’re a casual explorer or an avid adventurer, the reserve offers an array of hiking trails to suit all levels.

Enhance Your Experience with a Guided Tour
Unlock the full magic of the jungle with the expertise of a seasoned guide. They’ll reveal hidden wonders of the forest, pointing out elusive birds, wildlife tracks, and fascinating details about the jungle’s ecosystem that you might otherwise overlook.

Elevate Your Adventure with a Night Hike
For an unforgettable experience, embark on the premier night hike. Many of the sanctuary’s creatures are nocturnal, and this after-dark exploration offers a unique opportunity to witness the jungle come alive. Common sightings include kinkajous, snakes, herons, owls, tapirs, gibnuts, and, if you’re lucky, a glimpse of a jaguar or other wildcats! The night hike departs at 5:30 PM and returns at 9:30 PM

Take a guided jungle tour on a horseback through the orange groves and into the rainforest. Stop for a swim in a secluded river area and enjoy a locally made snack.

The horses are very gentle and familiar with the trails. The guides are excellent and this is a great way to see amazing landscapes that you won’t see any other way.

The Belize Zoo was founded in 1983 and is unique as far as its contribution to conservation efforts in Belize. The Belize Zoo was founded by Sharon Matola whose diligent efforts to protect and conserve the wildlife of Belize has been highlighted on shows such as Jeff Corwin Adventures and National Geographic.

You will meet over 150 native animals within 29 acres of a forest oasis at The Belize Zoo. It's an experience that will forever shift your views on zoos. This is one of the few zoos in the world that works solely with rehabilitated or injured animals that call Belize their home. All the animals at the zoo are kept in their natural habitat and here you can come up close with monkeys, jaguars, tapirs and rare endangered birds such as the Scarlet Macaw.
