Explore Belize’s Maya heritage and Caribbean ease—from lively Belize City to tranquil Caye Caulker—with a river cruise to Lamanai, a local cooking experience, and a day trip to Tikal.
  • Unwind on the paradisical island of Caye Caulker. Swim in the warm Caribbean waters, snorkel over shallow reefs and feast on freshly caught seafood and street barbeque.
  • Meet a group of Maya women at a co-operative in San Ignacio to make your own corn tortilla, the traditional Maya way, and learn about how the organisation empowers local women.
  • Spot colourful birds on a boat ride along the New River to the Lamanai Archaeological Site. Dating back to 1500 BC, the ruins are a fascinating insight into a once-thriving Maya city.
  • Hop across the Guatemalan border to explore Maya ruins in Tikal National Park. Explore towering temples and pyramids surrounded by thick rainforest home to coatis, monkeys and parrots.
  • Opt to hike and wade through shallow river waters to Actun Tunichil Muknal, where crystallised skeletons and ancient Maya relics have been preserved for over 1000 years.
Accommodation on this trip may vary from the style indicated in the day-to-day itinerary due to availability, though a similar standard will be used. Early check-in isn’t always possible; luggage can be stored and, on some trips, shared day rooms may be available until rooms are ready.
