Belize Reef & Ruins

Cramming an astonishing range of cultural and natural wonders into a relatively small package, Belize is the adventure world’s best-kept secret. On this activity-packed trip, we navigate jungle trails, float through the Mayan underworld, snorkel the Belize Barrier Reef, and cross into Guatemala to visit one of the most important and impressive Mayan ruins in the world, Tikal. The adventure is capped with a stay on Caye Caulker, the quintessential palm-strewn, white-sanded Caribbean island.

We stay six nights in comfortable hotels and five nights in destination lodges. (Those on the group flights will have an extra hotel night in Houston en route)



In Crooked Tree and Tikal we stay at comfortable lodges surrounded by tropical forest and the sounds of the jungle.  In San Ignacio, we can enjoy the pool and view from our hotel perched on a hill overlooking the river valley.  While in Caye Caulker our 3 star hotel has island flair and comes with a pool, private beach and rooftop lounge.
