Flashlight, Caves and the River

What did the Mayan's do back in the days when Central American was was well...jungle?
I can bet you exploring the many caves of the Belize interior was a common occurrence. They must have spent hours walking through the underground portals seeing the naturally carved stone crevices hiding the secret entrances and exits.
These wonderful people undoubtedly spent hours if not days on the many rivers that criss cross the unspoiled natural landscape.



Well however the Mayans experienced their wonderful natural surroundings I bet they never explored it quite like Chukka Caribbean Adventures. With first rate, well trained tour guides Chukka takes you on a river cave tubing adventure that takes you through a lush nature jungle past small rapids and waterfalls. You meander along until you get to the underground caves where your excursion takes a mammoth step towards a fulfilling your unexpected.


You drift into these naturally carved openings in the mountain sides, your headlight flashes along the tops of the caves as your eyes search through the numerous crevices and corners. You will marvel at the huge stalagmites and stalactites that dot the interior of the caves. As you twist your way through the underground caves you are bound to start questioning why you can't stay for a while longer. You will undoubtedly play with the idea of doing it all over again.

BakaBush and Chukka Caribbean invites you to Belize City to do the River Cave Tubing Excursion. Come see nature at it's unspoiled best.

The Triple Chukkarizer

There is something about this tour that gets me excited to tell people about it. Is it the thrill of the rugged Buggy trail? Is it the rush of the cool White River? Is it the picturesque scenery from a bird’s eye view on the Canopy Zip Line Tour? Or maybe it is because you get a chance to enjoy three fun filled Chukka Caribbean Adventure Tours combined with an authentic Jamaican lunch.



The Triple Chukkarizer is made up of the Dune Buggy Adventure , River Tubing Safari and the heart pounding Canopy Zip-line tour. Starting with the hour long Dune Buggy Adventure you slip off road for a bumpy, dusty, and depending on the weather a muddy ride in an authentic buggy built for two. You travel through hills and orchards, stopping for refreshments as your guide shares with you a bit of the Jamaican history, environment and culture. You get back behind the wheel of your Buggy and whisk your way to the starting point for your River Tubing Tour.



The River Tubing Safari Tour is approximately a hour and 15 mins long. You will relax on tubes while going down river riding the rapids while enjoying the cool thrilling waters of the beautiful White River. As the tube meanders down stream your hear the sounds of birds and wild life echoing in the untouched jungle.




After experiencing Jamaica on land, on the river it’s time to take to the skies and fly on the Chukka Canopy Zip-lines. A three traverse zip line tour which last approximately 30 mins. It begins with a picturesque nature walk on the banks of the White River. Then you get strapped up for an adventurous and thrilling experience as you glide from tree to tree. After completing this tour you’ll definitely not wonder why Tarzan never felt the need to drive.

The Triple Chukkarizer is an excellent way to do it all in a day in Jamaica. Reasonably priced along with quality and professionalism maintained at an optimum level you will almost surely give your Vacation rating an extra star. At Chukka Caribbean there are so many fun filled Adventures and Nature Excursions your vacation is in excellent hands. The only question is how long can you stay and play…

Touring with reggae King on Zion Bus Line



Like a picture out of 1970's Jamaican public transport system the "TATA BUS" bubbles along the windy country roads. The driver "Gold" (yup that's a name)rocks his head nonchalantly while listening to the bass filled reggae music that blares from the speakers on the bus.

He twists and turns this seemingly over sized bus on the small rural St. Ann roads with such ease that leaves you in awe. We're on our way to the infamous Nine mile community the birth place of the world renowned father of reggae music BOB MARLEY.

The "ZION BUS LINE" (Bus'touring name) blurts out a trilogy of harsh belches seemingly warning every vehicle a mile away that we are coming. As Gold cuts deeper and deeper into the lush green Jamaican landscape breathtaking views begin to emerge of wonderfully untouched nature.
We hustle pass small communities and farms returning many a wave from small children obviously out on lunch from school. Tanisha (on board tour guide or DUCTA)intermittently interrupts Gold's Reggae hits to give great insight on the history of the numerous places that we pass along the way.

She tells stories from the days of slavery to old folk tales that are routed in African culture.

When we got to BOB's place we understood why this man was such a great force and told so much through his music. The views surrounding his modest childhood home were beyond comparison. Trying to imagine him sitting and thinking of a greater place far beyond the mountains he could see was not quite difficult at all. It is with great humility and a sense of gratitude that I walked around the grounds searching my own self trying to find the never ending question of "who am I".
