Glide silently among the cayes and coral reef while sea kayaking Belize's crystal Caribbean waters. Snorkel with blue parrot fish, neon blowfish, six foot eagle rays and harmless nurse sharks, and study delicate purple plume coral, brain coral and sea fans. Each night we return to our mainland hotel located right on the edge of the Caribbean waters. Most of all, enjoy the relaxed rhythm of this Caribbean escape - you’re sure to come to back to Belize again and again.
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
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.
The second largest coral reef in the world lies a short distance from the Belize mainland. The reef is alive with hundreds of species of fish, corals, and sponges, and over 200 sandy islands rise above this natural wonder. You will spend 4 days exploring a half dozen of these tiny islands by kayak.
Each days paddling will take you to a different island, coral reef or marine habitat, where you will enjoy snorkeling amongst colorful corals and tropical fish. Each of these islands has its unique character and a little something different to offer. The inner cayes, sometimes referred to as The Range, offers not only snorkeling along coral patch reefs, but mangrove snorkeling as well. Because these islands are less trafficked by tourists, there is an abundance of marine life. Silk Cayes, sometimes called Queen Cayes, which lies directly on the Belize Barrier Reef, may be the most beautiful islands in all of Belize. The white sand beaches and breezy palm trees of Silk Cayes create an idyllic Caribbean escape. In addition to these spectacular islands, we have the opportunity to paddle in the unique habitat of the Placencia Lagoon - a nursery for reef fish and home to the manatee.
With dozens of islands within easy paddling distance, the exact cayes we visit can vary depending on local conditions. Our guides are expert naturalists and they know the very best places to snorkel and kayak depending on the season.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
