For a unique and scenic way to explore Belize’s lush landscapes, horseback riding offers an unforgettable adventure through forests, fields, and along picturesque trails. 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.
Once you arrive, guides will provide a brief safety orientation, helping you get comfortable with your horse before you set off on your adventure.
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.
If you’re booking a horseback ride, consider exploring these nearby destinations to make the most of your trip:
Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) Cave – Combine horseback riding with a visit to one of Belize’s most famous cave systems. The cave features incredible formations and ancient Maya artifacts, including skeletal remains that are considered sacred by the local people.
Xunantunich Maya Ruins – Another nearby ancient site, offering amazing views of the Cayo District from the top of its pyramid. The site is rich in history and features impressive structures, including the massive El Castillo pyramid.
My husband Joe & I had a great tour with Josh as our guide. He took us to the Community Baboon Santuary to see the Black Howler Monkeys, the Belize... read more Prison Gift Shop where there are beautiful hand carved items made by the prisoners, and to Caves Branch Outpost for some excellent zip lining. Josh is a wealth of knowledge and really took the time to make sure we had everything we needed. We would give him 10 out of 10 stars if we could.
While visiting Caye Caulker with friends we decided to visit the Xunantunich ruins. Booking was seamless and our guide Auner met us at the water taxi.

Our day with Auner was perfect! He is a wealth of information and ensured all of our questions were answered. Cold water was readily available along with a delicious traditional Belizean lunch. Highly recommend this tour company, we will definitely use them again.
We decided to arrange a private tour for a family of four to Tikal with Nelson Maya Adventures after reading a couple of reviews here and on a couple of... read more other platforms. We like to give our business to smaller companies whenever possible, and we rarely regret it. We were extremely impressed with the service: the drivers (Wilbert in Belize and William in Guatemala) were very professional and friendly, and the guide who met us for our transfer at the Guatemala border and accompanied us to Tikal (Oliverio) was outstanding. The entire process went very smoothly, and Nelson Díaz was great at keeping in touch and providing details about the adventure.
My family of 4 was picked up at 7:00 at our lodge near San Ignacio and were driven to the Guatemalan border by our first driver. There, we were met by our guide (arranged by Nelson) who walked us through the border-crossing process and then took us to our next van on the Guatemala side that drove us the 2.5 hours to Tikal. The van was brand new and very comfortable, and the driver was super friendly and professional. Our guide (Oliverio) was amazing. He was extremely knowledgable (spoke English and Spanish) and provided lots of interesting information during the drive and at Tikal: he was an expert in the flare and fauna of Tikal and also knew a great deal about the history of this incredible place. He was also extremely helpful when it came to negotiating the lines at the border and at the entrance to Tikal. He easily saved us a couple of hours and made it clear to us that driving our rental vehicle and trying to do this on our own would have been a real hassle.
Our guide and driver were also very flexible allowing for several short stops to take photos, buy a snack, visit an artisan shop, etc. Lunch was included in the price of our day-long trip, and they took us to a fabulous roadside restaurant - Restaurante González - outside of the park. We opted to stay in the park till early afternoon and have a late lunch on the way back to Belize.
The price that we paid for our family to spend the day at Tikal was significantly less than we would have paid through our lodge and through other companies in San Ignacio, and it was great to have the private tour. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Nelson for any of your transportation needs in Belize.
