Belize City and Zoo Combo

Our guide and driver were both very helpful and professional, and knew a lot about all the animals and their history at the zoo. The zoo houses rescued animals and has a great gift shop. The city tour was on each way to the zoo, so we could looked out the window and learn about the city en route to and from the zoo. It was very interesting and a nice scenic drive.

We would definitely do this tour again, but preferably not in the summertime which was bad timing on our part. The zoo is about 30 miles from port in the rainforest and it was hot, humid and sweaty! Take a water bottle. The Zoo itself was fun and the tour guide Irwin was great with knowledge. Highly recommend you eat at the café in the zoo, the native food was fantastic.

The Zoo and the City

guide and driver awesome

saw awesome animals

We had an Awesome tour of one of the most Beautiful Island - Belize and the Zoo. Our Tour Guide Dennis Tillett is an Outstanding guide, whom we had the pleasure of meeting and now my husband calls him family. You will enjoy your time on this tour.

Our meeting point was fairly easy to find. We waited over an hour and were then informed that the zoo had been destroyed by the recent hurricane and would not likely ever reopen. We were then given a choice of viewing some spider monkeys or taking a river tour. We chose the river tour. My husband and I were the only ones in an air conditioned van which toured the city limits and the only ones driven down a dirt road to a small dock where we boarded a 25' boat with 4 guides. Other passengers had disembarked at this point. I was a little nervous to tell you the truth but our experience turned into being excellent. We viewed iguana's in the wild as well as howler monkeys, an alligator on the shore , toucans , blue herons and manatee's. Our guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a once in a lifetime experience:)

Our tour guide Gareth showed us around the city before driving to the zoo- it's about 30 minutes from the city but you get to see so much of Belize's lifestyles and the people who live there. The zoo has many beautiful animals, some that you can even touch like the tapir or white tailed deer. Gareth explained the history of the zoo as well as some fun facts about the animals- we even saw leaf cutter ants just walking along the path. After walking through the zoo, we got to look around in the gift shop before getting back in the car and returning to the city. This trip was amazing and a great experience for the family. Thanks Gareth!

Had a lovely guide who showed us around city of Belize, then had a long drive to the zoo which was an animal sanctuary, this is such a lovely place for animals, the animals & birds especially the own seem to recognise our guide as soon as they saw him they quickly came over, gave us the history background of all the animals. We also had a lovely lunch at the zoo. Definitely worth visiting the zoo which helps fund these beautiful animals.been a brilliant day.

Our guide, Phillipe, was just awesome. He really answered all of our questions about the city and country during our tour. The trip to the zoo (wildlife sanctuary) was a lot of fun. It was so enjoyable getting to see the native animals in habitat that is a natural setting. We had lunch at the zoo and I highly recommend the nachos. They were fresh and so tasty and covered the whole plate. I couldn't finish it. The burrito my husband had was like two whole ones back in the States. He said it was better than he'd had anywhere. Thanks to Phillipe we had the best experience in Belize! I'll do it again next time we sail through that port.

We had a small group of just 5 for our day tour of Belize City and the Belize Zoo. Our driver, Gareth, did an excellent job of showing us around his country as we drove to the Zoo. Once at the Zoo, Gareth helped us find each animal in its exhibit, and told us the stories of how they came to the Zoo. Even though it was raining, we still got to see many of the beautiful animals up close! Our traditional lunch was delicious, and Gareth got us back to the cruise port in plenty of time. I would highly recommend this excursion!

We purchased The Belize City and zoo Combo, We got off the ship as they tell you to, But when we got to the place to meet up, we Had to wait about 2-Hrs. That was the bad part, The good part was the rest of the tour, our guide was Excellent, she new everything we asked, she new all the animals and all about them, She made the excursion well worth it,

This tour was good but I would not say it would be good for young children . The van drive through the city and to the zoo is very long. However, the tour was good and worth for school age children. Doreen was our guide . She was excellent ; extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. She answered all our questions and made effort to show us so many different places. The zoo is lovely, inviting and we'll done. We saw lots of exotic local rescued animals including toucans, Jaguars, ocelots, tapirs and so many more . I do recommend this tour.

The Zoo is actually an animal refuge. It was quite nice we took our 4yr old granddaughter and she had a good time lots of good pictures. Easy walk in a shaded environment. Con it is a long drive out to the zoo.

Our guide was great, very experienced and knowledgeable. She was considerate letting us stop for snacks for our child. We loved the zoo! It was so different from our other excursions. The one drawback was the mosquitos! Bring strong mosquito repellent and wear pants!

If you want to do something different, visit the zoo. Knowledgable tour guide. City tour needs to be priced up a little bit. maybe that's all to Belize City. Relaxing car ride to the zoo and explaining the culture.
