Caracol and cave exploration - Long road under construction took us deep into the jungle to the incredible site of Caracol. Interesting history, incredible ruins, and wild birds and monkeys. Lunch was excellent locally prepared food. O’Neil, our guide was an excellent source of information. We finished the day at Rio Frio Cave and falls for a refreshing swim. The cave was huge with lots of interesting formations, bats, and history.

Caracal - The Mayan ruins at Caracal were spectacular. O’Neal was a great tour guide who made everything come to life. If you are planning on going to Belize, I highly recommend this tour company.

Fantastic Day Trip, Great Guide! - This was an 8am-6pm full day trip. We arrived at the ruins late morning, be prepared for some rough roads the last part of the drive. Our guide Jeremy was fantastic, very knowledgeable and patient. Walked the ruins and explained what we were seeing and the history of the region. Definitely worth going with a guide, felt sorry for the people there on their own who didn’t benefit from the detailed information. After we finished the tour we had lunch. DONT MISS THIS: lunch was catered from Ko Ox Han Nah in San Ignacio - so delicious! Stew chicken, salad, plantain, spicy pickled veg, rice and beans. Other groups had sandwiches but not us. After lunch we headed to Rio Frio Cave and then Rio On Pools. Only regret is that we didn’t have more time in the day. Then, the final kicker - snickers candy bars on the ride home. Such an amazing day and fantastic guide, worth every penny.

A FANTASTIC day of learning and exploring - We booked the full day tour to Caracol not really knowing what to expect, but our guide, Dimas, was EXCELLENT! He shared his extensive knowledge of the history of the Mayan people and culture and the current day work that is still underway to learn more about Mayan civilization. He is clearly passionate about nature, history, the Mayans, and the extensive work that has been done to understand the ancient civilization. Following the ruins, we visited the Rio Frio Cave and Pools. Again, Dimas was so knowledgeable about the environment and answered every single question we had. He knew every bird, plant, or tree we came upon and was eager to engage with whatever interested us. The road to Caracol was NOT a great road, but Dimas made the trip a fun adventure and helped pass the time by generously sharing his knowledge of Belize. We would highly recommend going through Cayo Inland Expeditions for transportation and tours. If you book transportation from the Airport inland (San Ignacio or anywhere close) ask for Wayne. He was THE BEST!! Terry, Mike, Gi-Gi & Glenn from Canada

Full, Fun Day at Caracol, Caves, and Pools - There were several companies to choose from for this day trip to Caracol and Mountain Pine Ridge, but I am so glad we went with Cayo Inland Tours. From the beginning of the day when they picked us up at our apartment to the end of the day when we arrived back home, we were well taken care of. Dimas was knowledgeable & kind. He served up an amazing lunch and let us take as much time as we needed to thoroughly experience the many wonders of Caracol. Additionally, he had an incredible depth of knowledge on the birds in the area and helped us identify several of the bird calls we were hearing. I would definitely book another tour with Cayo Inland Tours!

Amazing! - This is definitely an all day tour (8am - 6pm), but it was worth it. Our guide O'Neill was amazing! He picked us up at our hotel and we were the only ones on the tour. The drive from San Ignacio is long (2 hours, mostly on dirt roads) but he made it interesting. He even stopped for me to take a picture when I spotted a toucan in a tree!! I highly recommend going with a tour guide instead of on your own. Not only is it more informative, but the road is rough and under construction in many places, and there are also a couple of military checkpoints you need to go through on the way where you need to sign in and out. My husband has always wanted to see Mayan pyramids but knows how some of the ones in Mexico are so crowded with tourists. That is one of the reasons we chose to visit Belize. We practically had Caracol all to ourselves, and we were allowed to climb all the way to the top and even enter some tombs! We saw spider monkeys and howler monkeys in the trees! The howler monkeys spent some time calling to each other, and we were amazed at how loud they are!! O'Neill is extremely knowledgeable and took his time explaining the Maya culture and history, which we really enjoyed. He served us lunch at the site after our tour, which was so much nicer than what we expected: roasted chicken, rice and beans, salad, and plantains. The stop at Rio Frio Cave was so cool! It's a small cave with an entrance and an exit, and we walked through the whole thing. The Rio On Pools were beautiful. We walked down to the river and to a couple of the waterfalls, but did not go swimming as it was a cool, overcast day and drizzled on and off. Cayo Inland Expeditions and O'Neill get five stars in my book!

The Best Tour company in San Ignacio - First, I want to say that our guide - Dimas, was the absolute best guide. He made Caracol come alive for us. He explained what we were seeing, and some history of the site. He explained the Mayan calendar. Then lunch was the best Belizean stewed chicken we eat on this trip. With a tablecloth! Then on to Rio Frio and the Rio Lo Pools. It was an amazing day!

Great Mayan experience! - We had an excellent tour to the mayan site Caracol. Our tour covered stops at multiple attractions as was discussed in the office. The best part of the tour was our guide! He knew Mayan history very well and was telling us more than one theory about the site origins. He was open for questions and suggestions at any time - good communication skills. We definitely recommend this tour company.

Day trip to Caracol - We we're keen to include a visit to the Mayan ruins during our ten day trip to Belize. Research showed that Caracol was clearly the best site in the country. Cayo Inland Expeditions provided an excellent experience. Our tour guide, Dimas provided a wealth of information during the two hour drive to the site. The road in is currently being upgraded and is very good for the first half although the rest is a very rough forest track. I Definitely wouldn't recommend self driving. We spent two hours at the site where Dimas explained how this once great civilisation created a huge city which thrived for several centuries before it's downfall. The first sight of the massive pyramid structure as we emerged from the jungle was amazing. I would highly recommend this day trip to anyone visiting Belize and Cayo Inland Expeditions provide a great experience with a very knowledgeable, informative guide.

Private Tour to Caracol - We did a full day private tour to Caracola no Rio on Pools/Big Rock Falls. The tour was done by Dinas, who is also an avid birder and wildlife/nature enthusiast. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the site and could explain things in both English and Spanish fluently. We would absolutely recommend Cayo Inland Expeditions as a tour operator to visit Caracol and other sites in or near San Ignacio!
