This is a reason in itself to come to Belize. The cave kayaking is maybe my favorite adventure day I've ever done. The caves are unique, beautiful, and Marcos inspires both confidence and awe in the surroundings. It was great to sit at lunch and hear his stories about the history of the Maya culture in Belize, the efforts for... More

Marcos from Maya Guides is a first-rate guide, a man who has trained the British special forces (SAS) in jungle survival, been trained himself as a professional guide in kayaking, trekking and mountaineering in the states, and is a small legend in Belize tourism. Visiting Belize, we all want some beach time, but Maya Guides is a great escape for... More

Marcus is a veteran guide as well and is EMT and Rescue trained. I have known Marcos for years through his help with our yearly cave mapping expeditions to western Belize. Several of us finally went on his Caves Branch multi-cave kayaking tour with him and his son Francis, and were not disappointed. The all-day trip includes lunch on the... More

Maya Guide now calls itself MGA Tours, and it is a father and son operation. Marcos and his son Francis are super friendly and very knowledgeable about Belize and the Mayan culture; they can answer all your questions. They are also certified Search and Rescue team members. They offer all sorts of adventure tours from river kayaking, jungle treks and... More

Honestly, I was not thrilled with the idea of kayaking through the caves. I didn't think I was a cave kind of girl. I was wrong. Marcus is so capable and knowledgeable. Immediately giving you the sense that you are in good hands. If you have the opportunity, you should not miss doing one of his tours. It was an... More

I found Maya Guide Adventures online and booked them based on the reviews. The 5 of us stayed at Caves Branch Lodge, but wanted to enjoy the activities in the area on a private tour. The first day Marcos took us cave tubing and ziplining. The walk to the river was a fascinating lesson of native plants and medicinal uses.... More

Father and son gave us first class treatment. We went caving on our first day and had such a great time we immediately booked a ruins and kayaking adventure for later on that week. Marcos met me and my wife and from the beginning we knew we were in good hands. Ask all the questions you have, you will receive... More

Marcos & Francis are most definitely the best guides in Belize, we spent two wonderful days with MGA Tours & couldn't have wished for better guides to spend it with. We consider meeting Marcos, Francis & the experience we had the highlight of our 3 week trip. The Cave kayaking was simply an unforgettable day and not to be missed.... More

I have been traveling to Belize for 10 years with a permitted scientific cave exploration team. I met Marcos, the owner of Maya Guides Adventures back in 2003 on and was used with big expedition into the Chiquibul Wilderness, which holds some of the largest caves in the world.. He was also interested in learning as much as he could... More

I went on a cave kayaking trip with Maya guide adventures on my recent trip to Belize. I was reccomended this company by a Belizian friend and was not dissapointed. The father/ son team, Marcos and Francis who own and run this company were wonderful, nice, reliable, and (as mayan natives) had a deep, local knowledge of the area. I... More
