Altun Ha, Cave Tubing and Baboon Sanctuary from San Pedro

Three mainland stops from San Pedro — Altun Ha ruins, cave tubing at the Nohoch Che’en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve, and the Community Baboon Sanctuary at Bermudian Landing — make this one of the most varied single-day options from the island. It is a genuine full day. The water taxi from San Pedro to Belize City takes roughly 75 minutes each way. Private Belize Adventure reviews your island connection before accepting this booking, and three stops require the earliest available departure.

Altun Ha comes first — about 45 minutes north of the city terminal. Your licensed guide covers the main plazas and the Temple of the Masonry Altars at Plaza B, where the jade head of Kinich Ahau was found in 1968. After the ruins, the route continues to Caves Branch on the Hummingbird Highway. Gear fitting covers the inner tube, helmet, headlamp, and life vest. A 25-minute rainforest hike leads to the cave entrance, and the float through the Caves Branch River passages typically runs 45 minutes to an hour.

The Community Baboon Sanctuary in Bermudian Landing is the final stop. A local guide explains the conservation program — a community-led network of landowner agreements protecting black howler monkey habitat along the Belize River. Howler monkeys are often heard before they’re spotted; sightings are common but never guaranteed. This is the calmest point in what is otherwise an active day — a natural close to three varied stops.

Three stops from San Pedro suits guests who want variety and are comfortable with a long, full schedule. It is not the right choice for a relaxed pace or for anyone with a tight return connection to the island. The day works best with the earliest available water taxi from San Pedro and a group that moves efficiently between activities without extended downtime at each stop.

Send your travel date, water taxi schedule, group size, and any physical or age-related notes to Private Belize Adventure before confirming. Three stops requires the earliest available water taxi from San Pedro — plan accordingly.
