Nice hiking trails, but a little disappointed because the only wildlife we saw was an iguana. I guess it is hit and miss.

The hiking here is excellent. Tiger Fern and Ben's Bluff are somewhat challenging. The waterfalls are beautiful. The rangers were courteous and helpful. I enjoyed the park so much I spent an extra day.

We didn't see much in the way of wildlife/birds as it was daytime in December, but the flora! We would love to go back in the spring when the parrots are more plentiful

A beautiful lush jungle waiting to be explored. We traveled here with our two children (12 and 13) and hiked a few of the shorter trails. They were well makrked and maintained and we had a lot of fun exploring. Howler monkeys greeted us when we entered and exited the park. If you like birdwatching, go early as I am sure they are prolific if you don't have 2 loud adolescents with you. The river tubing also looks fun.

This is a beautiful site that is great for bird watching. The river tubing was also fun. I did the waterfall hike, and it was lovely! Be sure to bring lots of water!

While there are between 1000-1200 Jaguars in the reserve they are rarely seen. The reserve is teeming with many different varieties of birds, binoculars are a must. There are hiking trails that vary from easy to extremely strenuous. Of particular interest the Boat Billed Herons and the beautiful Agami Heron.

Muy Ono guide Pablo was an amazing guide with his extensive knowledge of Mayan culture and ability to imitate birdsong. Hiking to the waterfall and swimming in the basin was a day out of a movie set!

We made the ~2 hour one-way hike thru the Tiger Fern Trail to end at the fabulous double waterfall and were not disappointed. The hike was a nice challenge, but nothing you can't do. Some might be slower, others may be faster so find your own pace. The view at the time is fantastic and then the two waterfalls are beautiful and provide a great way to cool off after the hike.

We went on a three day trek up to Victoria Peak with the MCHS adventure club. The group was a mix of students and staff. Our fantastic guide was Benedicto. This is a 3 day hike which means you need to bring everything you need to support yourself and your group. The trails were well kept and the scenery is worth the effort. The Elfin forest near the peak is itself worth the effort and definitely a trip worth taking. Benedicto, our guide was very patient and helpful and a blessing for our group.

We stayed in the "rustic cabin" for 5 nights. Hired birding guides Antonio and Marcelo from Maya Center one morning, and they were excellent. antonio_bolon@yahoo.com
We hiked all the trails with the exception of the trail to Victoria Peak (requires guide and permits)--all fun for different reasons. We walked around every sunrise and sunset looking for cats to no avail. We did see other things though, and I highly recommend taking your headlamp out at night and looking for eyes.

How much is it to just your the place ?
My family and I are wanting to go here and just want to your the place by ourselves. How much would it be because I’ve been researching a lot of places and they say 100+ Per person

Hello,
Do you know exactly where at in the park I am able to see the Macaws. I will be in the park next week looking to photograph toucans and macaws but not sure where to find then. Any information would be appreciated.
thanks,

We're going in April. Is it better to go during the day or night? If during the day, is it better with or without a guide? If with a guide - from which tour company?

I would agree with the other answers about getting a guide if you want to see animals and the point on the main road. I would recommend going during the day.
My wife and I booked through our resort. They drove us there and we told them what time to pick us up. We did not book a guide. We were there 1/2 day and saw no animals, but many birds. I would imagine that a guide could help spot a few that we missed, but not that much. If you are interested in the different plants and trees, then the guide would be worth it.
A few other thing to consider:
* the place is big and there are long trails, so plan ahead on the trails you want to hike.
* the site of the airplane crash is worth seeing, but it is far from many of the trails. We asked our driver if he could drive us to the trail (which you pass on the way out) and wait 5 minutes for us. The plane is only about a 2 minute hike from the road. That worked out great for us, especially since we did it at the end of the day and we were too pooped to hoof it down the road to the trail. Ask if your driver can do that for you.

Approx. how much time would you allow to hike to the top and also go to the waterfall? Thank you!

There are two waterfalls. The closer one is 45 minutes each way. The double waterfall is about 3 hours round trip.

Anyone have advice on how to get BACK from Cockscomb to Placencia, if we choose to get a taxi or car from our hotel there? We have read that many of the tours are large and loud, and reduce likelihood of seeing wildlife, and my husband and I are experienced hikers/backpackers. But this is our first trip to Belize, and we aren't sure what to expect when it comes to getting a car for the afternoon/day, etc. Anyone know how to go about it, and rough costs we should anticipate?

Interested in staying for two nights in April and I haven't found many lodging reviews for the cabins/dorms. Would love some details/suggestions on which cabin to stay at. How are the kitchen facilities (fridge? range? kitchenware?)? Thank you.

We’ve stayed in „rustic cabin” which was basicaly a double room with twin beds - the rooms are „connected” by the common ceiling but when we were there there was only one more room talent. There’s only beds and a night stand, the light was very subtle so you need a headlamp or something (and to go to the toilet or kitchen when it’s dark outside. In the kitchen there is a stove for sure and some utensils etc. I cant say for sure there was a fridge because we didnt use it but i think there should be. The standards are pretty much foresty and you have to be aware of all the bugs, spiders and so on. Oh and there is only cold water but it shouldnt be a surprise :) also dont try to wąsy your clothes there because they wont get dry 😀

Hello! So you don't need to go on a guided tour here? Are the trails well groomed and marked? Thanks for your help!

I wasn’t aware they had guided trails. You definitely need transportation from the highway to the actual park which is 6 miles. That costed us $20US one way. Inside we just asked which trail had the most bang for the buck since we wanted to also tune down the river before heading back to our accommodation. We did Tiger’s eye which is marked by a small sign, and it’s a bit challenging so have plenty of water and snacks. You’ll get views of the entire Basin at the top and two lovely waterfalls if you keep following the signs once you’ve reached the top. It’s another 20 mins down to the water falls. Hope this helps!

Hi There! I enjoyed reading your review on the Cockscomb Tour with Benedicto Choc. Do you have a way to contact him? We are also traveling as a family with 2 teenage boys would love to have him be our guide. Any advice on how to contact or request him would be great!

I have had great difficulty responding as the site does not allow for anything resembling an email address to be transmitted. Try contacting me at brucetate, then the at sign, then rogers, and the dot and com.

I'm looking at booking a family trip to Belize, I would just like to know if some of these activities are doable with 2 young children 6 and 3.5. I saw one post mention that tubing has a height requirement of 40 inches. I'm just wondering is it reasonable to think we can do some of these hikes/ activities with the kids. I'm mostly interested in doing the hike to the waterfall/swimming hole, the monkey river tour (is it too long do you think, i saw something like 5 hours duration) and cave tubing or river tubing. Any thoughts or insight on if this is suitable for kids would be appreciated.

I wouldn’t recommend an overnight, necessarily, but a day in the park is doable for kids. They even have a kids visitor’s center with good information about the animals. Not sure about the height restrictions for tubing, but depending on when you go, the river will be higher and faster, especially during the rainy season.
Tiger fern is a fun hike with some swimming. There’s also the ben’s bluff trail....the swimming/waterfall stop is well before the hike gets strenuous. Kids could also do the plane wreck hike, and would probably like seeing the old, broken plane. I think there’s also the butterfly trail, which, if I remember correctly, is a quick & flat loop.
On your way up to Cockscomb, stop by Maya Center To learn about maya culture and get some chocolate...Julio enjoys when families and young visitors come through, and you won’t meet a family more welcoming!
