Nohoch Che’en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve - Nohoch Che’en reserve is the location for the Zipline Activity and the Cave tubing or Kayaking Activity.
for the zipline it’s a 3-minute walk to the first platform, the crew assist to put on the harness, helmets and gloves, then it’s time to practice on the “chicken run”, then move up some steps on the hill side to the higher platforms, each having a zip line over a thousand feet in length. the lines hover over the treetops and the river. at the last platform, we return to the car parking, then use the facilities with showers, restrooms and prepare to get wet. The guide issues the gear, helmets, jackets, paddles. the walk is five minutes to the river side, walk across the river waist deep to get to the other side. walk the forest trail for 25 minutes. here we get in the tubes or the kayaks, single or tandem, and start paddling thru a series of huge cave systems, see many formations and a waterfall, exit the caves and paddle downstream to the car parking area.

Those lodging in the San Ignacio and Belize City regions are eligible to join. Explore a Maya ruin, visit the Belize Zoo, and experience the thrill of ziplining across 7 platforms with 6 lines traversing forests and rivers. The adventure continues with a hike along a gravel trail and crossing a river. Along this route, guides will share insights about the local woodland and ecosystem. On reaching the caves, you are given a kayak, and the guide navigates you into the upper caves, pausing intermittently to view formations and swimming spots. Subsequently, the excitement continues with paddling through the 6 cave systems for about an hour and a half, leading you to a small waterfall inside the caves. Upon exiting the caves, a ten-minute downstream paddle awaits. After all the adventuring, we drive back to San Ignacio. Guests from San Ignacio can visit the Maya sites of Xunantunich or Cahal Pech, while those from Belize City can visit either Xunantunich or Altun Ha.
