Belize Adventures

Spend the day exploring and immersing in the “Go Slow” Culture of Caye Caulker. Caye Caulker’s story begins over a century ago, when a handful of fishermen, boatbuilders, and coconut farmers first settled its sandy shores. Many were of Mestizo and Creole heritage, drawn by the island’s calm lagoon and rich fishing grounds. Life was simple — mornings spent at sea, afternoons drying fish or coconuts beneath the sun, and evenings filled with stories told over the sound of the waves.

Caye Caulker serves as a gateway to the Belize Barrier Reef, part of the second-largest coral reef system in the world. Enjoy snorkeling and/or diving at the famous Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley or just enjoy the laid-back charm, friendly locals and colorful atmosphere Caye Caulker is known for.

You’ll have time to explore Caye Caulker’s sandy streets, lined with beach bars, craft stalls, and cozy cafés. Wander through local shops, grab a fresh coconut, or head to The Split — the island’s most famous swimming spot — for a dip in the warm, clear waters. Other notable attractions Tarpon Feeding, Seahorse Reserve, and enjoying locally made chocolate and treats at the Belize Chocolate Company.

Exploring is self-guided.

Just a short, breezy boat ride from St. George’s Caye lies a tiny island that seems almost too beautiful to be real a sunlit sandbar surrounded by the turquoise embrace of the Caribbean Sea. This is Goff’s Caye where white sands meet crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral gardens lie just beneath the surface.

Only about the size of a football field, Goff’s Caye may be small, but its natural beauty is breathtaking. Once an anchorage and rest stop for early sailors, today it’s a protected marine area — part of the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

What to Expect: Just steps from the beach, an underwater wonderland awaits. Slip on your mask and fins, for two separate and snorkel experiences through coral gardens alive with color — brilliant brain coral, waving sea fans, and schools of shimmering fish that dart through the clear water.

Then enjoy a delicious picnic lunch on the beach.

After your adventure beneath the sea, enjoy time to simply relax on the island’s soft sands. Stretch out beneath the palms, take a refreshing swim, or stroll around the entire Caye in just a few peaceful minutes.

An adventurous combination of hiking and cave tubing within a cave system, this is a fun activity! Float on inner tubes with only your headlamp to guide the way as the Caves Branch River winds a path through the Maya mountain and numerous caves.

Secured by a harness with feet dangling free, zip line riders will traverse from 75 ft high platforms whizzing past a stunning display of tropical flora and fauna. Daring participants will rappel to the rainforest floor from the final platform for a thrilling one-of-a-kind jungle adventure.

Immerse yourself in the jungle environment in this one-of-a kind park.  St. Herman’s is a source of wonder with numerous underground streams, sinkholes and an extensive cave system. You will hike for approximately ½ hr. to the entrance of the cave. St. Herman’s Cave Park is home to over 200 species birds and is ideal for birding.

Three of the five species of wild cats found in Belize: jaguar, ocelot and jaguarondi - have been sighted in the park.  Other residents include the Baird’s Tapir and Nine-Banded Armadillo.

Enjoy a swim in the sapphire waters of the inland Blue Hole (not to be confused with the Great Blue Hole. The Blue Hole National Park is a 25ft deep natural swimming pool fed by an underground river. Be sure to take a swim suit or change of dry clothes (towels will be provided by the resort).

This excursion is for the avid adventurer. However, please do note cat sightings are extremely rare!

The name "Lamanai" comes from the word "submerged crocodile" in the Mayan language. This site, situated along the New River Lagoon, features monumental architecture of temples and palaces dating from the Classic and Pre-Classic Periods. Pollen evidence dates the earliest occupation at the site to be about 1500 B.C. The earliest pottery has been dated to about 500 B.C.
