Belize, An Adventurer's Paradise

Belize is a peaceful, English-speaking country just two hours away from 3 major U.S. Gateways. With a diversity of adventure opportunities unmatched by any other country, the Belizean people have protected over 40% of the country as parks and natural reserves.

Belize is on the Caribbean coast, nestled between Mexico and Guatemala and offers an intriguing mix of tropical forests rich with wildlife, majestic mountains, mysterious Maya temples, and diving and fishing experiences beyond comparison. In a single day, one can go from tropical forest to the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere.

Sailing & Snorkeling
Along with some of the finest Diving in the world, Belize is also a top Snorkeling destination as well. One of the best ways to enjoy exploring the vast array of marine life is to strike out on a sailing and snorkeling adventure.

Begin your day by sailing to Hol Chan Marine Reserve, where guides will show you around the spectacular snorkel area. Then head on to Shark Ray Alley, where you will encounter sharks and rays in their natural habitat. Once back on board the board you can rinse off in the fresh water shower and settle in for the sail to Caye Caulker. When you reach Caye Caulker you will have time to explore this quaint island.

Ambergris Caye is 27 miles long, and San Pedro is concentrated in only an 8 mile section. Robles is about 20 miles north of town. The daytrip to Robles begins as you make our way north along the coast of Ambergris Caye with a stop to snorkel at Mexico Rocks, with it's coral formations and colorful small fish. Then head on to Robles, where you will stop on a pristine stretch of beach where the reef almost touches the island. Here you can snorkel the reef or explore the deserted beaches in both directions. While you are snorkeling or exploring the expanses of beach, your guides prepare a delicious Beach BBQ for you. After lunch you will have time to relax in a hammock under the shade of a coconut tree or go for another swim, and then it's time for a relaxing sail back to San Pedro Town.

The Manatee Watch and Snorkel Excursion is a perfect day of Sun, Sea and fun. Begin the day by making your way along many of the Cayes that dot Belize's coast. Once at Swallow Caye you will have an opportunity to view the West Indian Manatee in their natural habitat. Then head to Goff's Caye where you can snorkel off the Caye's white beaches amoung reef coral and colour fish. Then enjoy a tasty Beach BBQ. After lunch the next stop is Caye Caulker, where you will see Sea Horses and snorkel at Coral Gardens.

Mainland and Jungle Adventures

From exploring amazing Mayan Ruins, to discovering a pristine Wildlife Refuge to floating blissfully through the underground Caves systems of the Belizian Jungle there are adventures to suit every taste on the mainland of Belize.

Altun Ha

Flourishing during the Classic Period of Maya civilization, the true ancient name of this Mayan Ruin is unknown. "Altun Ha" is a Mayan translation of the nearby village named "Rockstone Pond." The extent to which the site has been cleared and restored makes it easy to imagine its past glory and wealth as a major ceremonial center. The archaeological site covers about one square mile of area, with at least 500 visible structures. Evidence dates the earliest settlement here to 200 BC, with varied construction phases ending about 900 AD.

Lamanai

Hike through dense jungle and explore the ancient Mayan temples that majestically perch on the water's edge. At the end of the day you will realize that your experience to Lamanai will linger with you as a truly Beyond Ordinary experience. Lamanai is the Spanish historic name for Lama’ an/ayin, which means “submerged crocodile.” The Royal Ontario Museum directed a archaeological research project at Lamanai between 1974 and 1986 during which over 940 structures were mapped. A long, unbroken sequence of Maya occupation at Lamanai occured through Preclassic and Classic times, beginning by roughly 1500 BC.

Cave Tubing & Belize Zoo

Jump in a swift-boat and make your way towards the mainland and up the Old Belize River. Once in the river you encounter wildlife such as crocodiles, iguanas and howler monkeys. When you reach Manatee Lookout, you board a private bus with your guide, who will take you to Jaguar Paw. At Jaguar Paw the guide takes you along a jungle path up to the caves. Then it is time to put on your head lamps and to splash into the cool water in individual inner tubes and float your way through cave systems where the Mayan people once worshipped among the limestone and crystal formations. Once back at Jaguar Paw you can change into dry cloths and enjoy lunch. Next it is on to the famous Belize Zoo, not your average zoo and well worth the trip. Finally it's back to the swift boat for the ride back to San Pedro.

Jungle Zip Line & Cave Tubing

Similar to the regular Cave Tubing trip, travel to the mainland and up the Old Belize River. When you reach Manatee Lookout we board a private bus with a guide who takes you to Jaguar Paw. At Jaguar Paw, you travel through the jungle to the Zip Line, where you climb to the first platform. From there you "Zip" through the jungle in eight different stages. After about an hour and a half, you return to the resort for lunch. After lunch, your guide takes you aong a jungle trail up to the entrance to the caves. Then it is time to put on your head lamps, splash into the cool water in individual inner tubes and float your way through cave systems of limestone and crystal formations where the Mayan people once worshipped.
