While serving on missions in beautiful Belize, many groups take a day off to rest, relax and enjoy some of the beauty that Belize has to offer. We have posted links to information about just a few of the things that your group may enjoy during their time here. We can help to set up activities for your group and make reservations in advance. We have some local connections and can get a discounted price for our groups in many cases. We have also included links to some of our favorite restaurants and our favorite ice cream place. You can also contact these places directly to make your own arrangements. Let us know how we can help.

Caves Branch Outpost - This is an adventure park where several activities are offered, such as cave tubing, zipline, horseback riding, etc. They also have a nice open air restaurant. We have taken groups here for a day of cave tubing and lunch. The park entrance fee is $5.00 per person. Lunch is $10.00 for a buffet lunch and the cost of the cave tubing is $25.00 US per person. This is a two and half hour drive from the camp.
