ADVENTURE OF THE LOST CRYSTAL CAVES & ZIP LINING - BLZ06 Duration 6:30 Built like a super-tasty double-decker sandwich, this tour packs a truly exciting duo of leisure pursuits in between two air-conditioned coach rides to and from the location. The first coach journey will take you from the pier into the jungle, with guide providing information on Belize on the way. Once at the Jaguar Jungle Camp, youll receive a safety briefing, be kitted out with a harness and take a short rainforest walk to a limestone cliff for the first 150 m/492 ft. traverse. As you whizz over the jungle canopy, youll also get a superb view of a cave once used for Mayans ceremonies. Then youll move on to the next and even longer traverse for more fabulous views and the thrill of flying through the air. Back at ground level and now fitted with a life jacket, youll go underground to explore the crystal caves. Prepare to get wet as you meander down the underground river on your cave tube (think a large inflated inner tyre) to reach the crystal chamber. Youll continue your exploration of the cavern on foot from here, with ancient Mayan pottery, an amazing frozen waterfall, a glittering rim stone dam and a subterranean lagoon among the key sights. Returning to the surface again, youll then walk back to the base camp to change into dry clothes and enjoy a typical Belizean lunch.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES: ALTUN HA & BELIZE CITY - BLZ01 Duration 4 Presenting both a glimpse of Belizes ancient past and its modern-day look, this half-day tour begins with a coach ride to the historical city of Altun Ha, which in Mayan means Rockstone Water. The city existed from approx. 900 B.C. to A.D. 1000 and in its heyday acted as a major trading post. The most spectacular find excavated by a Canadian-led team of archaeologists and Belizes most prized Mayan artefact was a weighty carved jade head of the Mayan sun god, Kinich Ahau. After your guided tour of the site, youll head back to Belize City, the countrys main commercial hub and home to more than a third of its population. But since 1970 the countrys capital has been the less weather-prone Belmopan, a city specifically built to serve the purpose after the 1961 hurricane season destroyed large parts of Belize City. Situated on a rounded headland jutting out into the Caribbean Sea, Belize City still retains many wooden, colonial-style buildings, a reminder of its past under British rule. Your look around town will take you past such historical spots as St. Johns Cathedral, a red brick building completed in 1880 and the place where kings from the Mosquito Coast were crowned, as well as the mansion once lived in by the governors of the former British Honduras. After enjoying a complimentary drink, youll end your tour by strolling the short distance back to your ship in the company of your guide. Please note: the tour involves walking on flat terrain. Climbing the temples is optional, but no climbing will be permitted if there is rain and the temples are wet. Should you wish to return directly to the ship and not partake of the complimentary drink, the coach can drop you off at the pier.

Your on-board tour guide will provide details and point out places of interest as you travel through the citys commercial centre and old quarter, full of little shops, boutique hotels and colonial architecture. Youll also pass the former British governors mansion and travel through different neighbourhoods, from upscale to the less affluent. Also watch out for St. Johns Cathedral, which dates back to 1812, was built by slaves using ballast bricks from merchant ships and is Central Americas first Anglican Church. In fact, having survived two hurricanes, the cathedral now counts as the oldest building in Belize. Another curiosity for which Belize City is known is its unique manually operated swing bridge, the only one of its kind still in use in the world. Completed in 1922, this relic of a bygone age continues to be swung open by a four- strong team once every morning and once every evening to allow the waiting sailboats to pass. The Calypso Train will naturally include a ride over the Swing Bridge before you return to the Tourism Village for a chance to browse for a memento among the local handicrafts on sale. The tour then draws to a close with your return to the ship. Please note: in the event of rain or forecast rain, guests are recommended to bring protective rainwear.
