Belize's remote Sibun River is a packrafting dream and a Central American gem. In a small country like Belize, it is hard to believe that there are still rivers that are inaccessible and rarely traveled! Well, think again! The Sibun is it. Right in the center of the country with no road access, deep down in a 1000ft steep-walled valley in the middle of the jungle, the Sibun gets almost no visitors. You may recognize the river from 1986's movie The Mosquito Coast which was filmed here.
We scouted the river in 2020 and will be offering it in 2021. (Note: Delayed to 2022 due to Covid) It's a One and a half day hike in to this remote river and then 3 or 4 days on the river depending on conditions. We' are offering the trip as a 2week-long adventure which will also include a 2 day paddle through some of Belize's famous Caves (Caves Branch River or Indian Ck) plus a day paddle on the Swasey River plus 4 relaxing days out on Lime Key the southernmost point of Belizes famous barrier Reef, snorkeling, paddling and relaxing
*(+ option to add on a 2 or 3 day paddle on the Moho River after trip, min 4 people).
