• Macal River - Join us for our Sunset Canoeing on the Macal River and enjoy the magical hour-that time between sunset and dusk. Tease your senses as daylight fades and you enjoy the tropical forest system with nocturnal fauna awakening.
  Your naturalist guide will meet you at your hotel and transport you to our Macal River launch site. From there, you’ll paddle downstream – be on the lookout for iguanas and birds as they settle for the night in their river side roosts. Navigate by the community of Cristo Rey Village, occasionally spotting villagers going about on their way life. Continue downstream as the sun disappears behind the steep hillside… bringing an end to another perfect day just as we approach San Ignacio Town. Enjoy your snacks on the river bank while taking in the serene surroundings just before your guide takes you back to your hotel and says our goodbyes.

Our knowledgeable and friendly guides will provide practical instructions on paddling techniques and water safety before leading you on a spectacular paddling experience under the setting sun.

This adventure is designed for all skill levels… from beginner to more experienced paddlers.

The site is situated in the village of San Jose Succotz, where visitors use a hand-cranked ferry to cross the Mopan River to reach it. Xunantunich, meaning “maiden of the rock,” was a significant ceremonial center during the Classic Period and remains one of Belize’s most popular attractions. The center features six major plazas surrounded by over 25 temples and palaces. The large pyramid, “El Castillo,” is renowned for its frieze or band of stucco decoration that once encircled the entire temple. El Castillo stands 130 feet above the main plaza, providing a stunning panoramic view of the Mopan River valley. The site dates back to the late Classic Period, from 600 AD to 900 AD, and was also influenced by El Naranjo, a large ceremonial site in Guatemala.
