Detailed Itinerary

Rise with the first light of day emerging through the jungle mist, and experiencing the sounds of the tropics is a pure delight, with the chatter of parrots and parakeets flying overhead. Finding a quiet spot to sip a coffee with binoculars close at hand is a sure way to soak in the essence of the rainforest.

After a hearty breakfast, make a quick stop to the adventure center and get outfitted with a harness. Next you’ll embark on an exhilarating and invigorating hike to Antelope Falls. This hike carries us deep into the national park, past an un-excavated Maya trading center and up steep rainforest trails. We make a slow and steady pace up towards the falls, stopping to learn about the jungle flora and fauna along the way.

At the crest of the hike, enjoy a rewarding cool off in the refreshing emerald pools above the falls. From the top of the hill, we can see past the lowland savannah all the way to the Caribbean sea - a breathtaking setting. After a break, the guides will set us up to rappel down Antelope Falls. This is optional and highly recommended for those looking for a thrill. Guests are welcome to hike back down rather than rappel down. We hike back to the restaurant to enjoy our lunch.

After lunch, you will experience Belize's longest rainforest canopy zip-line! Start back in the adventure center and get outfitted in your zip-line gear before a hike to the top of the property. After a thorough safety briefing and demonstration we cross the suspension bridge and onwards to the first platform. We cross 14 towers, on 9 different runs during this thrilling experience. After the course, return to the lodge for a well deserved “boca” and a refreshing drink.

For those that are up for it, a walk in the rainforest at night is a magical experience. The fireflies start glimmering in the fields, and the click beetles blink as they disappear into the canopy. Explore the moonlit trails and listen to the calls of cicadas, frogs, and birds.

Note: Antelope Falls is a 2 pitch, 250 foot drop. A minimum of 100lb per participant. An alternative for families with children and those looking for a less strenuous experience, we recommend Bocawina Falls hike and rappel.
