River Paddle
Canoeing and Tubing are Great Ways
to Experience Cayo ....
Tropical birds and giant iguanas populate the treetops, and villagers still wash clothes along the river's bank.
Macal River
Paddle a canoe down the Macal River on your own or with a knowledgeable guide who will point out some of the plants and birds to be seen along the way.
You are likely to spot basking Iguanas perched atop the jungle canopy, while passing by high-rock-wall formations, as you slowly make your way downstream. Macal River canoeing lasts 3 hours to half-day, depending on the entry point. |
|
| Another option is to combine canoeing with Horseback Riding. Ride through open farmland and lush jungle trails, then afterwards work your way slowly down the Macal. Stop for a refreshing swim along the way and just take your time basking in the beauty of a pristine jungle river. |

River Tubing - While staying at duPlooy's, combine a short walk from the lodge (anytime) to the Macal River. From there it's about a 20-30 minute float downstream to duPLooy's beach for picnics and more tubing, swimming and beach volleyball. |

Mopan River
Canoeing or Tubing work equally well on the Mopan River, which has an abundance of light rapids and cascading water falls. duPlooy Travel recommends using a guide for trips on the Mopan. See a variety of birds including flycatchers, cormorants, ducks, parrots and parquets, as well as large iguanas among the tree tops and rivers edge.
