Wilder was the HIGHLIGHT of Belize - Wilder was the absolute highlight of our Belize trip. We went with family and originally had planned on doing the zipline and cave tour as a trio but when my husband unexpectedly fell sick it became a duo tour. I had only agreed to go because my partner was interested since I am pretty nervous in small spaces but Wilder was an absolute godsend. Not only did he make sure that the pair of us had a great time with his extremely informative tour but he also helped check in and make sure that I was always comfortable with what we were doing. We ended up having such an amazing day that when my partner felt better later in the trip, we booked the same exact tour with Wilder and it still managed to feel like a whole new experice even though I had been before. Wilder was such an informative and personable tour guide that it was impossible to not have a good time and learn something. He gets extra bonus points for amazing local food and music reccomendations but also for the amazing restraunt pick for lunch (No lie, the best tortilla I have ever eaten). We cannot wait to travel back to Belize and know exactly who to call to help us find the best spots.

BEST TOUR EVER!!! - This was an experience of a lifetime. I never thought i would do anything like this but it was %100 totally worth it. The inside of the cave is a MUST SEE. It’s not an easy trek so be prepared to swim, and climb. Wilder took care of us for the trip there and back and was very attentive and made sure everything went to plan perfectly I would definitely recommend booking with this company.

Go with Wilder Belize!! - We chose Wilder Belize to take the ATM tour from Placencia. From the very first interaction Wilder was great - he called to confirm the night before and to explain everything about how the day would work. We were only 2 people and even tho the minimum is 3 he took us for a small fee of $25 extra. The tour was very well organized - Wilder took us in his comfy van to Teakettle where he had arranged for Gisele- one of the only female guides for ATM - you should request her as your guide - she is awesome. After the ATM tour ended Wilder was there to meet us and drive us safely back to our hotel.
You will be in very good hands with Wilder for any tour you choose from Placencia!

Thrilling ATM tour - We did the ATM cave tour with Wilder Belize and it was amazing. Victor picked us up on time on the peninsula and got us to the meeting point right on time. During our drive he educated us on all of the amazing things about Belize. The tour itself was unbelievable. The ability to see the Mayan ruins in their original resting area is incredible. The caves themselves are so much fun to swim through and climb up. Be prepared to get wet and test your fear of heights. Lunch is as provided after was a true Belizean treat of BBQ chicken and beans and rice. On our way home Victor took us to the most adorable ice cream shop and then Belize Chocolate Factory as well. We cannot thank the team enough for a very memorable day. Communication was prompt, polite and concise! I cannot recommend Wilder Belize enough! Thank you, thank you. We cannot wait to come back.
