Great tour with Edgar, a great guide
We did our the Caracol and waterfalls tour with Edgar and it was the best tour! Edgar is fun, passionate and really knowledgeable. He can answer to all your questions and is honestly a great person. Caracol was amazing and almost empty, it felt we had the site for ourselves. Lunch was fresh and delicious! In the end... Some "jungle juice" to end in glory! Thank you so much Edgar 😃

Great tour Rudy Rocked!
This was a lovely small tour shared only with one other couple. Rudy our driver and guide was very knowledgeable not only about the ruin and Belize history and culture but numerous other topics. With such a small group we were able to ask many questions and go at our own pace. We did t get to see the cave as with the prior rains the rod was closed but got to stop at the beautiful Rio pools. I would recommend this trip especially if you get Rudy!

Super positive, confortable experience.
Upon arriving to San Ignacio, we discovered that the caves were closed due to flooding. This tour was set up by our host the night before departure. I cannot say enough wonderful things about how beautiful the tour was. Our tour, guide, Angel, was a wealth of knowledge and super good at engaging the group with humor and information. The vehicle he picked us up in from our hotel was beautiful, very comfortable ride, and fostered a nice group atmosphere. The lunch was wonderful, served communally at the Mayan ruins. We really had a beautiful time and would recommend this tour to anyone.

A local slice of life, and a great ruins tour
We had the best experience with Belize Caving Expeditions. On our first day in San Ignacio, our hotel set us up with a specialized birding tour with them, and we met our soon-to-be friend Selwyn, since he was their resident bird expert. He started us on the grounds of our hotel, showing us the birds we were sharing the land with so that we could identify them during our stay. Then we started to drive around and stop frequently to spot the resident exotic birds. That day ended up with a canoe tour of Barton Creek Cave and some more impromptu birding while we waited to have the cave to ourselves. The next day, we had a tour to Caracol booked, and they sent Selwyn back to us (pulling him off another tour) since they knew we were avid birders. We spent some more birding time as we drove to and toured the Mayan site - which Selwin was also extremely knowledgeable of. Oh - and we stopped off at his mom's house to get an avocado fresh from the tree to have with our lunch! And speaking of lunch, both days were simple stewed chicken, but they were probably the best meals we had in Belize - always accompanied by fresh tortillas and salsa made by locals. It was more than a tour experience, we really got to know some of the local way of life during our trips with Selwyn and Belize Caving Expeditions. Highly recommend, and get Selwyn if you're into birds at all - he can spot the tiniest bird at several hundred yards while navigating windy streets!

BEST TOUR AND TOUR GUIDE
Hugo Onil Avilez is an exceptionally warm and highly motivated guide, whose services come highly recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed our excursion to the Caracol Mayan Ruin, which boasted breathtaking scenery and a serene environment that made for a refreshing walk. The natural bath at Pinol Pools was a wonderful conclusion to the tour. Onil demonstrated impressive knowledge of our Mayan ancestors' history, and we were all impressed by my nephew JJ's engagement and interest in Mayan history. Onil took the time to answer all of JJ's questions. If you're considering booking a private tour to the Mayan temples or ATM caves, Onil is an excellent choice who will not disappoint.

Caracol Maya Site and Water fall with Belizean Tour guide & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Ignacio.
How much does Caracol Maya Site and Water fall with Belizean Tour guide & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $130 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Ignacio usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Caracol Maya Site and Water fall with Belizean Tour guide & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Ignacio is not rushed.
Is Caracol Maya Site and Water fall with Belizean Tour guide & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Ignacio, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Caracol Maya Site and Water fall with Belizean Tour guide & Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Caracol Maya Site and Water fall with Belizean Tour guide & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Caracol Maya Site and Water fall with Belizean Tour guide & Lunch?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Ignacio can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Ignacio and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Caracol Maya Site and Water fall with Belizean Tour guide & Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Ignacio within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Ignacio?
+
On Outty we rank every San Ignacio experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave Tour and Picnic, Xunantunich and Cave Tubing Combo Tour from San Ignacio, Tikal SUNSET, Archeological focus and Wildlife Spotting Tour (South and East). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Ignacio?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Ignacio?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
