There are so many amazing excursions offered by Pook’s Hill that we struggled to pick just 4 during our stay. In an effort to keep a balance between caves, ruins, and nature we chose to add ziplining in addition to our cavetubing day. We figured what could be better than flying above the canopy? We were not disappointed!
While not a standalone activity, if you have the time I would highly recommend adding ziplining to your tour. Our favorite part was getting to experience the jungle from a different view. I have to admit, we couldn’t complain about the cool breeze while rushing through the air either.
Shortly after removing our ziplining gear we were fitted with headlamps, grabbed our tubes, and prepared to hit the caves. The Maya people considered caves to be the gateway to the underworld. Caves were a spot frequently visited for worship, and there are traces of history everywhere, making them a popular spot for excursions.
Jess was so helpful in talking me through some of the trip options I'd told her I was interested in, and then also bringing up similar alternatives with more flexible dates. Now that everything is booked I realize all the extra things she figured out for us as well, besides booking the transfers from and to each location, she realized that we wouldn't make it to my desired flight time on three departure date and was able to easily add another day so that even our departure day is stress free!

The trip planner understood what we wanted to do and see, and found what we hope to be a great match for our interests and style of travel.

Basically everything. The transfers from lodge to lodge were all timely and smooth (even though we arrived 3 hours late!) with great drivers. The lodges and food were all top notch. The guides were excellent and very knowledgeable about local history and wildlife. Chaa lodge stands out as exceptional. I ended up with an infection leaving Chaa, but they arranged for driver to stop at doctor, and he even got us to a pharmacy for prescription and a great drive to coast.
