Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in this pontoon boat tour?

The Belize Waterfalls excursion includes pretty much everything you might need for a full day out. This includes roundtrip transport in an air-conditioned vehicle, a driver and professional guide, lunch, bottled water, snacks, sodas, towels, and entrance fees.

Is this tour available year around?

Yes, this tour is available at any time of the year, but it’s important to note that the Sandpaper waterfall may not be accessible in the drier months. Some Belize waterfalls need to have plenty of water flowing for them to be safe to climb, so if we haven’t had much rain in a while, we might not be able to complete all activities on the tour.

Which waterfall will we see on along the way?

This pontoon river cruise takes you to the Sandpaper waterfall in Belize.

Will we see wildlife on the tour?

There’s a good chance of spotting wildlife, including birds, monkeys, and more, but sightings are not guaranteed.
