Day 1 Arrive Belize City
Arrive in Belize City at any time.
Day 2-4 Flores / Tikal, Guatemala
As you cross the border into Guatemala, you’ll immediately notice a different culture, punctuated by a heavy Mayan influence and Spanish language. Take a Spanish lesson, followed by a visit to a medicinal garden in San José. The next day, explore the mysterious ancient city of Tikal, buried deep in the rainforest.
Day 5-6 San Ignacio
The forest of Mountain Pine Ridge, the Mayan cave of Actun Tunichil Muknal, tubing down a lazy river or visiting local Mayan sites, including the famous Xunantunich, are all options here. Pick your choice and enjoy your stay; did we mention there is also some great food and wildlife?
Day 7-8 Belize River (2B,2L,2D)
Our local crew will expertly guide you on the many twists and turns of the local rivers. Canoe experience is not required, as our guides know the rivers well and are happy to share their knowledge of the local wildlife with you.
Day 9-10 San Ignacio
Back to the Cayo district to squeeze in anything you missed the first time around.
Day 11-14 Caye Caulker
After the jungle jaunt, it is time to slow things down for some serious R & R. Sun, sand, fantastic snorkelling and diving opportunities are now the focus. Enjoy a full-day snorkel trip out to the barrier reef where you may have the chance to swim with nurse sharks, stingrays and barracudas.
Day 15 Belize City
Explore Belize City at your leisure.
Day 16 Placencia
Depart Belize City by bus for the small coastal town of Placencia. Wander this unspoiled fishing village and enjoy its golden beach. Don't forget to sample the seafood.
Day 17-20 Island Hopping (4B,4L,4D)
Travel by motorboat to begin our sea kayaking adventure. Exact starting point and route vary depending on local conditions as we spend the next 4 days kayaking between islands with possible stops in a variety of cayes near the Gladden Split Marine Reserve. Paddle for approximately 2 to 4 hours per day, with plenty of time for relaxation and other activities. At night, we camp under the stars.
Day 21 Placencia
After a morning paddle or snorkel, return to the mainland town of Placencia. Spend a night on the town with your fellow kayakers.
