Half-Day Barton Creek Cave with Optional Zipline, Butterfly Farm Or Rock Falls

Highlights

Leistungen

Ablauf

1. We begin our journey through farmland where you can see the Mennonite community of Upper Barton Creek and experience their traditional lifestyle. We reach Barton Creek Cave, much of which is still to be explored and stretches for miles, of which 4.5 miles is navigable by open canoe. At the entrance of the cave we board our canoes, switch on our headlights and start to slowly paddle into the cave passage. While floating deeper into the passage we learn about the geology, archaeology and Maya history of these caves. Our lights will bring crystal formations that are millions of years old to life. After exploring the caves, we turn around our canoes and float back to where we park them and complete our half-day tour with a refreshing swim.

2. Barton Creek Cave with Jungle Zipline: Each of our four tours offers you a return to the main platform on a 500 feet run via our jungle lift platform. This 2-hour tour is for zip line enthusiasts and combines the Explorer and Intermedio levels in over 2,700 feet of zip line, comprised of 9 runs and 15 platforms that take you over and through the jungle. Barton Creek Cave with Butterfly Farm and Botanical Garden: Here, you will be able to see flocks of exotic butterflies of various species, from iridescent blue to gorgeous orange, dazzling yellow to intriguing gray. There is also a botanical collection of over 120 species of plants, including orchids. Barton Creek Cave with Big Rock Falls: A 150 feet waterfall flowing over the granite boulders of Privassion Creek. We hike down the escarpment hidden deep in the Mountain Pine Ridge where we come to the stunning waterfall and the crystal pool into which the cascading water sprays in a cooling mist.

• 5All good! We'll be back!

  We booked at the office, both over the phone and in person, The Crew was absolutely wonderful. First was the Butterfly Farm, and then Barton Cave, The guide was completely helpful, knowledgeable, and an excellent communicator on all subjects. Lunch was welcome and tasty. Next was the Xunantunich Mayan site tour. The highlight of our trip to Belize. Again our guide knew everything about the Mayan civilization and history of the population. We aren't spring chickens and he catered to our issues. All MayaWalk tours are worth the time. You won't be disappointed. This is the second time we used MayaWalk, and won't be the last.

• 5Cave and creek were beautiful

  The cave was beautiful and the whole process of getting to the cave and back was easy and smooth. Cave was 10/10. Food was delicious. Our guide was knowledgeable about the cave and seemed to care about his job and the environment, but made comments about my husband to the driver thinking we wouldn’t understand them, and when my husband responded back to them about their comments, they surprisedly said, “oh, you speak Spanish?”. That aspect just felt a little bit unprofessional and unwelcoming, (especially having worked for years in tourism myself).

• 5Private tour of Rock Falls

  Great visit to the falls - we did a private tour and glad we did and our guides helped the young jumping off rocks and others with accessibility. Good tour guides and knowledge of Maya history.

• 5Good leisurely half day excursion

  I did the Barton Creek canoeing half day. I had already done another trip with Maya Walk so they gave me $10 off. Only five in our group as maybe not the most popular tour. Yesterday I had done ATM cave where no photos are allowed so this was good as we could paddle inside another cave taking photos. This proved to be difficult as I was a solo paddler in my own canoe. I had wanted my own canoe anyway. I have my own kayak so paddling was not a problem but maybe beginners may struggle. Dropped me back off in the town centre.

• 5Memorable experience

  We had a terrific time with Alex. He was easy going, very friendly and went out of his way to provide us with pertinent and fascinating information on geology and history to better understand the importance of the cave for the Maya. The canoe trip was a real delight, very relaxing and allowing us to enjoy the beauty of the cave at its best. Great swim at the end of the trip. Memorable experience! Nic & Anne
