Belize nature tours and trips to serene beaches

Arrive Belize City and fly directly to Dangriga where you'll be met and transferred to Hamanasi, your home for the next week. Check into your treehouse bungalow or seaside room, then spend the evening falling into the easy rhythm of Belize!

Days 2-7 Marine and Inland Adventures lodge

(B,L,D)

Rise early to begin your Belizean adventures or just sleep in and enjoy a little tropical tranquility.  Whatever you do, the choice is yours!  With 5 optional excursions (see below) included, your days at Hamanasi can be filled with inland and marine adventures.  Excursions include snorkeling, exploring the surrounding jungle and Maya ruins, river canoeing and caving!

The snorkeling and diving trips (see below) take you to the second largest coral reef in the world.  From your underwater vantage point you'll swim alongside hundreds of rainbow-hued fish, corals and sponges.  Atoll and whale shark diving "upgrades" are also possible for scuba enthusiasts looking for more variety or wanting to dive renowned sites like the Blue Hole and Glover's Reef Atoll.

On your inland adventures, you can explore Belize's lush interior rainforest, Maya ruins, rivers, and caves.  One trip includes visits to the ruins of Xunantunich and Cahel Pech where the ancient Maya once held their royal courts.  Another excursion takes you hiking and river tubing in the lush Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary and Jaguar Preserve.  Another day trips takes you to hidden waterfalls, and to Blue Hole National Park, with its mile-long St. Herman's Cave.

Keep in mind that with 17 beautifully landscaped acres, a swimming pool, and 400 feet of Caribbean beachfront at Hamanasi, you may choose to simply spend the days relaxing in a hammock or wandering the grounds!  Be sure to save time for a stroll through the nearby traditional fishing village of Hopkins, where the Garifuna speaking residents still continue their ancestral customs.
