Whether you’re a first-time rider or an experienced equestrian, Belize’s horseback riding tours cater to all levels of skill, offering a relaxing and immersive experience in nature.

What to Expect from Horseback Riding in Belize

Ride Through Scenic Trails: Explore lush rainforests, wide-open fields, and beautiful riverbanks, where you can immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Belize.

Spot Wildlife Along the Way: Keep an eye out for howler monkeys, colorful birds, and even iguanas as you ride through remote areas that are home to a wide variety of wildlife.

Explore Ancient Maya Sites: Some tours include visits to hidden Maya ruins, where you can learn about the history of the area while riding through the jungle.

Relaxed, Enjoyable Experience: Horseback riding is a great way to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of Belize at a slower pace, while getting up close to the diverse ecosystems of the country.

The Journey to Horseback Riding Adventures

From Belize City: Approximately 1 hour via the George Price Highway, making it an easy day trip.
From San Ignacio: Around 20-30 minutes, offering a great opportunity to add this activity to your exploration of the Cayo District.

Once you arrive, guides will provide a brief safety orientation, helping you get comfortable with your horse before you set off on your adventure.

Why Horseback Riding in Belize is Special

Unlike more typical sightseeing tours, horseback riding offers a personal and immersive connection to the land. The slower pace allows you to really take in the sights and sounds of Belize’s wild landscapes. Whether you’re riding along a riverbank or through a dense forest, this activity offers a unique perspective of the country’s beauty and wildlife.

We arranged multiple pickups and drop offs as well as a trip into Mexico to see Chichen Itza during a weeklong visit to Belize. The drivers were very good, on time and helpful. When in Belize there was constant communication and updates regarding our times etc. and our goals were met and our trip was great. Thanks to everyone at Nelson Maya Adventures for a great vacation.

Private Transfer from Belize City (Water Taxi Terminal) to Belmopan

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our private transfer from Belize City to Belmopan was absolutely smooth and comfortable. Upon arrival at the Water Taxi Terminal, we were warmly greeted.

The vehicle was clean, air-conditioned and very comfortable—an excellent relief after the boat ride. Our driver was not only punctual but also extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He shared interesting insights about Belize, its culture.

The ride itself was relaxed and safe. The driver maintained a smooth pace and drove very professionally, making us feel secure at all times.

Overall, this was the perfect choice for anyone looking for a hassle-free and comfortable transfer from Belize City to Belmopan. I highly recommend this service and would use it again without hesitation!

We went on the Lamanai tour and had an amazing experience! Our driver, Anthony, met us at the ferry and took us to the boat landing. There we boarded our boat and took the river to Lamanai. Our boat captain and tour guide, Brenda, was incredible. Her knowledge about the river, her community, and the Lamanai ruins made our tour so enjoyable. She was able to answer questions and provide us with a deeply enriching experience. After a delicious lunch (stewed chicken, rice and beans, coleslaw, and chips and pico de gallo) and some time at the museum and gift shops, we headed back to the boat landing where our driver awaited to take us back the the ferry. All in all, excellent day!

By far one of the best tour companies in Belize , we opted to book with them not only the AMT caving tour but also the shuttles from bc to San ignassio then San ignassio to Hopkins and then back to BC. We tried other shuttles but came up short either over charging or had sub par vehicle. Nelson maya had safe vehicals and Chris our driver drove very safe.

The staff where always amazing and Jasmine who booked everything was always checking in the night before to let us know we where booked the next day

The ATM cave tour is a must do if you come to Belize and are a adventurous person. I work as a firefighter professionally and on the tour I saw the tour guide was very experienced. He knew how to manage people even when they where either scared or nervous about some of the situations in the cave.

Highly recommend
