Our study abroad group came down to the Cayo district, and could not pass up a day of zip lining. Calico Jack's offered an EXCELLENT day for the group! The Ultimo package was definitely the best value, and the best choice of lines. The entire group also then wanted to ride the Jungle Swing. The staff was accommodating, friendly, and... More

What a fantastic place to be based right in the middle of jungle! My 4 year old son absolutely loved the journey to and from there from the main road which is quite bumpy! We spent three nights there and from there we were well positioned for child friendly excursions such as Xunantunich (my son running up and down using... More

While in San Ignacio, my wife and I contacted the people at Calico Jacks to do some zip lining on very short notice. They were kind enough to arrange a transport to and from their location in their well equipped land rover and they picked us up at our hotel. The really good thing about their business is that they... More

We had an AWESOME time at Calico Jacks. I recommend the Jungle Swing if you are feeling brave and have an empty bladder - save the beer for bar after you swing back! The ziplining and rapelling options are great because there is a range of options. There's also a cool suspension bridge through jungle on the way to the... More

Calico Jacks is a good zipline. My wife and I visited there on our trip to Belize in February 2013. My wife and I (especially me) are adreniline junkies so we are always in the market for wild zip line rides. This particular zipline is nice. It has nine runs. The company is very concerned with safety. They use double... More

We decided to stay their for 8 nights. the ziplines are awesome no doubt. We explored the caves, tried rappelling, Hiked the beautiful rainforests, and took several tours. Carocol and xunantunich were the best(better then tikal and cahil pech). Our guide was great, and the resort treated us so well. we decided to stick with calico jacks. this place is... More

Had an great experience. Our driver picked us up at our lodge - he was on time, courteous, and knowledgeable about the area (and the vehicle was nice which is not always the case in Belize). All the staff I dealt with at Calico Jacks were helpful and nice. Our two zip line guides were very friendly and professional. We... More

What an exhilarating experience, jumping of 9 different platforms, and sailing like superwoman through the beautiful canopy. It was an absolutely fantastic. I rappelled down a steep rock and walked across a tight wire as well. I had a laugh with William and Carlos, the friendly tour guides, who were very patient whenever I closed my eyes and hesitated to... More

My husband and I did a zip line adventure while in Belize for the day from our Oceania cruise. The cost of this tour was less than half of what the ship offered for a different company and Calico Jack's had more than twice the number of runs. We were picked up by the owner, Chester Williams and driven into... More

My 5-night stay at Calico Jack's provided a perfect retreat getaway from my stressful & hectic lifestyle. Calico Jack's is off the beaten path and is tucked away in the Mountain Pine Ridge area of the Cayo District. I stayed in the Moon Temple villa (one of two villas), which is a very spacious and comfortable 3-bedroom unit, complete with... More
