Belize Adventure Week – First Half

Belize Adventure Week – First Half Week

Jungle Tours of Belize – 4 days in Belize

EXPLORE BELIZEAN JUNGLES by kayak, caves, and more! Belize Adventure Week — our ever-popular, action-packed tour — explores this fascinating country using a multi-sport format. You can now join us just for the first 4 days in the Belize Adventure Week 8 day trip. This trend-setting active vacation package is based on over 30 years of Belize exploration.

Your adventure starts at a jungle resort in Western Belize where we spend three days venturing into the Actun Tunichil Muknal cave, learning to kayak on the Mopan River, exploring the Mayan Ruins of Xunantunich, and cave kayaking underground before finishing up in Belize City.

During this adventure-packed itinerary, we visit four protected areas, and all entrance fees are covered, as are all transport, sports instruction, and kayaks and accessories.

No Experience Needed

This trip is designed for those looking for an active vacation, and although no experience is required, some guests may find the activities strenuous (particularly elements of the Actun Tunichil Muknal cave tour and the portages on the Caves Branch River). Each sport is introduced, taught, and guided by expert guides, and each sport is suitable for a complete beginner in good shape.

  • Meeting place

      MEETS: Belize Biltmore Hotel, Belize City, Belize

      HOW TO GET THERE: Look for a shuttle van from the Best Western Belize Biltmore Plaza Hotel. Inform them that you are a guest with Slickrock Adventures and they will take you to your hotel. If you arrive a day before our scheduled itinerary, you will have to take a taxi to the Belize Biltmore Plaza Hotel (cost will be approximately $35 US per cab). There is no need to arrange a pick-up in advance, cabs are waiting when flights land.

      SCHEDULE FOR ARRIVAL: We meet at 5 pm on Day 1 of your trip. Your international flight should land in Belize City no later than 4:00 pm to ensure you will be able to catch the Slickrock van to Western Belize. If you are late you will have to use a cab to catch up with the group (1.5 hour drive, approx. $200 US).

  • Extending your stay

      We do not offer individual days purchased separately. If you book two trips back-to-back (trips with overlapping overnight accommodations with Slickrock), you will receive an additional discount. Visit our extended stay deals page.

  • Age limits

      Min: 10*; max:70; no exceptions permitted to age limits

      *Children ages 10 and 11 may not be able to participate in all activities. The guide will assess the child’s physical capabilities for each activity. If the guide decides that it is unsafe for the child to participate, a parent will either have to sit the activity out with the child, or hire a Belizean babysitter at a cost to the parent of $25 US/day. This assessment is weather-dependent (high water due to rain can drastically alter the difficulty.)

  • Height-weight limits

      Weight Limits: Sometimes prospective guests ask if we have boats that can hold a person of 240 lbs, for example. This is difficult to answer because it depends on the fitness of the individual. In general, persons over 220 lbs will not be able to do every sport we offer, unless they are young and very active already. Here are our best estimates for weight limits for our river kayaks: 225 lbs. Height Limits Our gear does not extend to accommodate every single height. In general, persons over 6’4” may not be able to do every sport we offer.

Jungle Accommodations

Cassia Hill Resort

3 nights

Cassia Hill Resort (formerly known as Windy Hill) is located in the Cayo District of Western Belize, the most popular inland area in the country. Cassia Hill is the perfect location for our base for adventure because it is quite accessible, and yet feels very remote. This quaint jungle lodge is located near several of Belize’s greatest natural attractions including well-known Maya temples, caves, rain forest reserves, and several rivers.

Cassia Hill’s accommodations have all of the modern conveniences in a lush tropical setting. The resort property also features cable television, a restaurant with a bar and lounge, a recreation area and fitness center, and a swimming pool. There’s also a gift shop, and phone and internet are available.

To locate just where Cassia Hill is located, we have created a Belize jungle map of all rainforest resorts in Belize.
