TOUR overview
Paddling down the Golden Stream River with a Ya’axché Tour Guide offers a fantastic way to explore the Golden Stream Corridor Preserve.
You can challenge your agility and have fun while kayaking and enjoying the riverbank encounters and sightings. You will likely get a bit wet and should expect to have to carry your craft over some of the shallows at times. Taking a quick swim is an option. This tour experience is one of a kind that most visitors rarely experience when visiting Belize as it will surely provide you with unique adventures and appreciation of nature.
Fitness level: Moderate but must have freshwater kayaking and swimming experience
Note: Please contact us to check availability.

transportation
Ya’axché’s Field Station is easily accessible by public transportation. However, feel free to ask us about private transportation. We will gladly assist!
We recommend
- Boots, water shoes or sandals with straps that you do not mind getting wet. Flip-flops and shoes that are not attached to your feet are less than ideal as they can be carried away easily by the current.
- Non-aerosol, eco-friendly bug spray
- Eco-friendly sunscreen
- Hat with rim and/or bandana
- You will likely get a bit wet so a bathing suit or other quick-drying clothing is ideal.
- A wet bag or ziplock bag to store items that you don’t want to get wet.
- Binoculars and a camera if you care to get a closer look and record some of your sightings
- Bathing suit and towel if you fancy a dip in the stream.
- Water and perhaps a small snack.
