Belize adventure tours with warm Caribbean waters and tropical rainforest
Belize is wedged between the Caribbean Sea and the dense jungle of east coast Central America, where ancient Mayan ruins meet pristine Caribbean waters, and jungle canopy gives way to the Belize Barrier Reef and its low-lying cayes. Beneath the surface, extensive cave networks reveal underground chambers with ancient stalactites and Maya ceremonial sites.
Belize is compact in size but offers a huge amount of adventure, and we can arrange a host of action packed outdoor pursuits. Enjoy fun activities on the river in the Cayo District and forest hikes or zip lining in Mountain Pine Ridge; take a private charter to the world-class diving and snorkelling sites of Ambergris Caye; or spot Morelet’s crocodiles on a boat ride down Monkey River near Punta Gorda.
Your bespoke Belize adventure tour will be packed with memorable wildlife encounters: there are bull sharks, hammerheads, rays and green turtles in the stunning coral reefs, and toucans, scarlet macaws, howler monkeys and ocelots in the jungle. Belize is also a stronghold of the jaguar, many of which can be found in the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Preserve, Belize’s most famous sanctuary.
We take care of everything to make sure that your Belize adventure tour is seamless, including handpicking exceptional resorts, some of which work within guidelines similar to our own Positive Impact Principles. Get in touch with our travel designers to start planning your personalised trip.
Highlights
Go diving and snorkelling from Ambergris Caye on the world’s second largest barrier reef
Kayak and spot wildlife along the tranquil waters of the Grande river near Punta Gorda
Paddle into the cave system at Cayo District’s Barton Creek, known as Xibalba (she-bal-ba), which is the Mayan word for underworld
Enjoy a private boat cruise to Mexico Rocks from Ambergris Caye
Stay at Blancaneaux Lodge, a dramatic hideaway in the Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve owned by Francis Ford Coppola
Belize has five very different (very beautiful) ecosystems and I'd always recommend spending time in the tropical pine savannah and mountains of the interior, as well as on a white-sand Caribbean beach on the coast. The interior is especially exciting if you like hiking, biking, kayaking and watching for wildlife in the jungle.
