Blackhole Drop Caving Tour

(Minimum 4 persons)
Length: approx. 7-8 hours
Difficulty: Moderate / Difficult
Terrain: Dense jungle

As an adventure resort in Hopkins Belize, we like to offer our tours which cater to our adventurous guests. This particular tour begins after a one hour drive west on the Hummingbird Highway, and originates at Caves Branch Adventure Camp. The Camp's "jungle limo" (a cart pulled behind a tractor) provides transport for the 20 minute ride to the jungle's edge, where you begin the hour track to the Black Hole. Your destination is a huge limestone sinkhole, over 1,000 feet wide and 300 feet deep.

Once at the edge of this enormous abyss, your guide will rig you into a harness and instruct you on its use. The caving gear provides a safe (and exciting!) method for your descent to the bottom. You will stop for lunch and then explore the massive underground formation. A series of ladders and steep banks take you back up the side of the sinkhole, and you arrive back at your point of departure, where you will journey back to your Hopkins Bay hotel in Belize.
