Wild Encounters!
 

Get ready for an unforgettable wildlife adventure at the Belize Zoo, proudly known as “The Best Little Zoo in the World.” Home to over 200 animals from more than 45 native species, this unique sanctuary offers a rare opportunity to meet Belize’s most iconic creatures up close in a lush, natural setting.
 

Unlike traditional zoos, the Belize Zoo was founded as a safe haven for rescued, orphaned, and rehabilitated animals, giving them a second chance to thrive. As you wander through shaded jungle trails, you’ll encounter some of Belize’s most famous residents—the majestic jaguar, the gentle tapir (Belize’s national animal), playful howler monkeys, colorful scarlet macaws, and the mighty harpy eagle, one of the world’s most powerful birds of prey.

Your experienced guide will share fascinating stories about each species and the zoo’s ongoing efforts in wildlife conservation and education, helping visitors appreciate the importance of protecting Belize’s natural treasures.

Perfect for all ages, this half-day tour offers a fun, educational, and inspiring experience that connects you with the wild heart of Belize.

Optional Add-On: Combine your zoo visit with an exciting Cave Tubing adventure at Jaguar Paw for the ultimate day of nature and exploration!
