Day 1 Arrive Belize

Catch a connecting flight to Dangriga, and spend the night in this small town along the southern coast.

Days 2-3 Glovers Reef Atoll (B,L,D)

Glover's is one of only three atolls in the Caribbean Sea and is truly the most spectacular marine environment in Belize. Due to its isolation from the mainland the waters are exceptionally clear with an incredibly rich reef system that offers the best kayaking, snorkeling and diving in the Caribbean. Day 3 is flexible in order to respond to both group and individual desires and abilities. Activities include: sea kayaking, snorkeling the inner and outer walls of the reef, kayak sailing and windsurfing for both novices and experienced boarders. For those of you who are certified divers, you can also arrange dives on the outer walls. If all this sounds a little too busy, you always have the choice of just kicking back in a hammock and enjoying your Belize vacation with a good book and a cold drink.

Day 4 Maya Mountains (B,L,D)

Enjoy your last morning on the reef before saying good-bye to the group and journeying into the country's interior. You'll travel by boat to the mainland, where a van awaits to drive you along the Hummingbird Highway to your home for the next three nights. Along the way stop at the Belmopan Market, stretch your legs, and find a snack among the stalls piled high with fruits and housewares. Your jungle lodge is tucked next to the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve and Roaring River. Surrounded by pristine forest, your days at the lodge are filled with natural discoveries exploring the lush vegetation of the Maya Mountains and the mysteries beneath.

Day 5 Rio Macal and Xunantunich (B,L,D)

After a leisurely morning and breakfast, paddle down the Macal River for your first introduction to Belizean wildlife. Your guide will help you spot iguanas, peccaries, coatimundis and a myriad of bird life. After lunch in town, you will visit the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich, once a major ceremonial site and the second tallest ruin in Belize. From atop, enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the Cayo District and Guatemala.

Day 7 Actun Tunichil Muknal (B,L,D)
