Day 1 Arrive Placencia (D)

Arrive Belize City and take a connecting flight to Placencia. We’ll meet you at Placencia’s little airport to take you to your beachfront hotel to begin your Belize vacation. Enjoy your first taste of seafood at our welcome dinner, and spend some time exploring this charming seaside town. Overnight.

Days 2-5 Sea Kayaking (3B,4L,3D)

Day 6 Return Home

Transfer to the Placencia airport for your flight to Placencia and onward to complete your Belize vacation.

This tour starts and ends in Placencia, Belize. It’s up to each traveler to get to and from Placencia. We are happy, however, to arrange flights between Belize City and Placencia and to arrange hotels in either place before or after your trip.

Two-person sea kayaks are used, which means even novices will be paddling like pros in no time. A limited number of one-person kayaks are available too. We visit various islands each day, yet the distances are short enough to give you ample time to snorkel, fish, or lie in a hammock reading a book. Expect a total of 3-4 hours of paddling each day. Energetic kayakers can paddle along the reef to nearby islands to explore secluded coves. A support boat is at hand to carry our gear and even carry you if don’t feel like paddling. At night we sleep in tents, hammocks or under the clear Caribbean stars. Most meals come straight from the bounty of the sea, but vegetarians are easily accommodated too. After your trip, you’re invited to stay extra days in Placencia – spend a day exploring some of Belize’s magnificent caves or go on a jungle adventure to the Cockscomb Wildlife Sanctuary. Inquire when booking about these options.
