This month, Lulu and her dad explored the heart of the Mayflower Bocawina National Park for more Belize Outdoor family Adventures in Southern Belize—a hidden gem perfect for families who love outdoor adventure. From ziplining over the rainforest canopy to hiking through lush jungle trails and swimming in Belize waterfalls, Bocawina outdoor family adventures are the ultimate destination for active families looking for fun and safe activities in Belize (more ways to get here).
Ziplining in Belize at Bocawina
Lulu kicked off her adventure with Bocawina ziplining, the longest zipline course in Belize. Flying high above the rainforest, she felt the rush of adrenaline as she soared from platform to platform, with panoramic views of lush greenery and tropical birds in flight. Ziplining in Bocawina is not just about thrills—it’s also one of the best ways for kids and families to experience the beauty of Belize from a whole new perspective.
Exploring Bocawina Waterfalls: Upper & Lower Falls for more outdoor family adventures
After conquering the skies, Lulu hiked deep into the jungle to discover Bocawina’s Lower and Upper Waterfalls. The hike offered the perfect mix of challenge and reward—climbing to the Upper Falls revealed many swimming holes, while the Lower Falls offered a quick pit stop along the way. Families enjoy this trail because is is very easy with the lower falls being about 15-20 minutes hiking and upper falls, being an additional 10 minutes of hiking. The time is always dependent on fitness level and speed. This adventure delivers both activity and relaxation in one unforgettable day.
Antelope Falls: Belize’s Hidden Rainforest Family experiences
On a different day, Lulu’s adventures took her to Antelope Falls, one of the most iconic waterfalls in Belize. The trail was steep, and involved moderate to intense hiking, but worth every step. From the top, she gazed out at sweeping views of the Caribbean coastline, while at the base, she enjoyed a serene jungle pool perfect for swimming and relaxation. For active travelers, Antelope Falls combines hiking, natural beauty, and family-friendly fun in one incredible experience. It is a moderate to intense hike that is truly enjoyed by hikers and outdoor lovers.
