Explore uninhabited islands, pristine coral reefs, rich fishing grounds, and labyrinth-like mangrove channels by Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) on this sunny Belize tour. Ideal for travelers looking for sea, sun, and snorkeling, this itinerary reaches the lesser-known cayes of the Southern Barrier Reef. Navigating Paradise Islands via SUP is the perfect way to explore: a flexible schedule and the path less traveled makes it an adventurous tropical vacation.
Highlights
Snorkel and Paddle through the shallow waters over the reef
View marine wildlife including stingrays, eagle rays, grouper and sharks
Visit a local Garifuna fishing camp on Billy Hawk Caye
Spend a night inland at the Tropical Education Center viewing wildlife
Activities that provide a reasonable level of physical challenge and elevate the heart rate. Focused on more active pursuits including multisport tours. Travelers may be active 5-7 hours total each day. Recommended for travelers with active lifestyles.
On arrival in Belize, you connect for a scenic 20-minute flight south to the coastal town of Dangriga. Here you are met and driven to Bocawina Rainforest Resort. Your guides and group gather for a cocktail followed by a pre-trip welcome meeting and dinner in the dining room. (Domestic Flight included)
This morning we travel by boat charter 38 miles offshore of the mainland to Glovers Reef Atoll basecamp. Your trip leader begins with reviewing fundamental skills of paddle boarding and throughout the trip works with each individual to fine tune existing skills. Efficient forward stroke development, down winding, and touring techniques are all covered. We head out each day to explore the wild beauty of Glover’s Reef; the waters are shallow and clear and you will see a tremendous variety of marine life, including southern stingrays, eagle rays, grouper, nurse sharks, and more.
For the next stage of the adventure we head to the 17,000-acre Southwater Caye Marine Reserve on the Southern Barrier Reef. Based on Tobacco Caye Paradise Lodge, our playground for the next two days is a fairy-tale setting of palm trees, coral islands, mangrove forests and abundant coral reefs. Each evening, back at our lodge, we take in the friendly laid back ‘Island Culture’ of Belize.

Good to ideal period to travel, and many people choose to visit at this time.
Chance for unpredictable weather but with fewer visitors.
This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).

Adventure Life is always an excellent choice when planning complicated, extreme, or exotic vacations or expeditions. They provide friendly professional services and advice and are enthusiastic and encouraging in helping us to prepare and thoroughly enjoy our trip. They handle all the details which greatly reduces the stress of planning a difficult trip. I'm very impressed with Adventure Life and definitely recommend them to friends and family.

The response from Adventure Life to my first inquiry was prompt and promising. I worked with Jamie Broeckel, Trip Planner, via text, email, and phone calls- always extremely responsive and thorough with information and explaining the process to arrange a private tour for me to Malaysia Borneo. Within about week, the booking was complete and I made decisions because of Jamie's great customer service , friendly manner, and overall competence on behalf of the company's travel expertise. Now I have an itinerary, additional Trip Planner Assistants, several links for vital information for traveling to Maylasia, etc. Still many details for Sept. trip, but now the heavy lifting is done and I can enjoy the rest of the anticipation and research!! Thanks Jamie- you are amazing!!!!

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
