Leaving Belize City on the northern highway, we turn off into the tropical interior and drive to the Community Baboon Sanctuary. Here we have a chance of up close encounters with the world's second loudest land mammal - the Yucatecan black howler monkeys in their natu...
If we failed to do the sunset cruise yesterday we can rise early this morning to explore the lagoon by boat. In this birdwatchers paradise we may spot wood stork, boat-billed heron, vultures, kingfishers, grebes, hawks, snail kites, jacanas and, perhaps most notable o...
This morning we make a short excursion on foot to explore Crooked Tree further. This was one of the first settlements the British made in the area in the early 17th century. Testimony to this is the many Scottish titles and surnames that still exist. The extraction o...
Today we make a visit to the great classical Maya site of Xunantunich, Mayan for 'Rock Stone Maiden'. We travel the short distance to the area by bus, crossing the River Macal by traditional hand-winched ferry to arrive at the site. Occupied until about 850 AD, the ma...
San Ignacio is at the heart of Belize's (small) inland tourism and offers many different activities. Today you can choose from several different optional tours in the surrounding area. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Tikal just over the border in Guatemala is one of...
Today, we head south along one of Central America's most scenic roads - the Hummingbird Highway. Our first stop will be at the Blue Hole National Park, operated and run by the Belize Audubon Conservation Society. Broadleaf semi-deciduous rainforests cover the limeston...

An optional pre breakfast ramble along forest trails allows us to showcase the incredible diversity of this tiny country. Belize's national bird - the Keel Billed Toucan is a common sight in this area and its frog like call is commonly heard from the tree tops in the ...
We leave the park this morning and head towards Belize City to take a water taxi to Caye Caulker. Once a pirate lair, this tiny but enchanting tropical island lies 34km northeast of Belize City and about 1.6km inside the greatest barrier reef in the western hemisphere...
A free day to do as much or as little as you wish, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Caye Caulker.The island remains uncrowded and unluxurious, and the local fishermen catch lobster, conch, fish and crab to supply domestic and foreign markets. It's a popular place w...
Another free day to relax or enjoy the optional activities available. Caye Caulker is surrounded by coral reefs, offering excellent swimming and snorkelling opportunities along the reef. It's possible to hire bikes to explore the island at your own leisure, taking in the fine views of the crystal-clear Caribbean Ocean, coral sand beaches, and swaying palm trees.
Meals Provided : None
The trip ends at our hotel on Caye Caulker. From here, we get a water taxi back to Belize City. The water taxi takes around one hour. The earliest water taxi is at 6am and operates throughout the day. An onward road transfer to Belize's Philip S. W. Goldson Internatio...
