Itinerary

Day 1: Eco-Village Tour

We will pick you up at the International Airport (BZE). Your package includes our 90 minutes Village Eco-Tour, which normally takes place on day 1 (if there is time and you are not too tired) ".

Day 2: Cave Tubing + Jungle Zip Lines (Or Belize Zoo)

After breakfast at 8am we transfer you to the Jaguar Paw Reserve off the Western Highway. It is a spectacularly beautiful spot, where the limestone foothills surrounding the Mayan Mountains are covered in rainforest and penetrated by the Caves Branch River, creating a series of amazing caves (Belize is the caving capital of Central America). You will have a 40 minute guided walk through the forest,. You will be carrying your big inner tube over your shoulder, being careful not to catch it on any thorny plants before you get to the river again, where it cuts through the hill. Now it's time to put your tube in the water and to fall back into it, ready to float through some amazing caves back to the point where you crossed the river at the beginning of your walk. It has been said that in the tranquility of those caves you find yourself¡K

Another program today, you have an option for either Jungle Zip Lines or Belize Zoo; The "Zoo" is a charitable trust run by its American founder Sharon Matola, and that too is only about 15 minutes from the Orchid Garden at 29 Miles Western Highway. It isn't like any other zoo you've ever been too, and we confidently recommend it to everyone, including those travelers who hate the idea of "zoos".

Day 3: Jungle Hanging Bridge & Flores City

After breakfast, we transfer you to the border with Guatemala (the journey takes around 90 minutes and see you safely through border control and into the taxi which will be waiting for you on the Guatemalan side. That taxi will take you to your hotel in El Remate, close to Flores City, the Casa de Don David, which is in a beautiful lakeside location. There you will have lunch, after which the driver will take you to the Hanging Bridges of Ixpanpajul, and leave you to take a self-guided walk along the bridges which stretch for some 3 kilometres through the rainforest canopy and afford excellent opportunities for bird-watching. Your driver will come back for you at a prearranged time and take you to Flores City, where you will have perhaps an hour to explore that pretty little town. Then he will take you back to your hotel for dinner.

Day 4: Tikal Tour

You will get up early (around 5am) and be taken to Tikal (about 20 minutes from the hotel) so that you can experience the sun rising over the pyramids. Breakfast is not provided by the hotel because you leave for Tikal so early, but can be purchased very cheaply in the park, Tikal is the most perfectly preserved ancient Mayan city in existence, and your English speaking guide will give you a highly informative tour which will last most of the morning. The hotel will have provided you with a lunchbox. After an opportunity for you to spend another couple of hours exploring the vast Tikal sight on your own, you will meet up with your tour vehicle and be transported to your hotel. You are likely to be pretty tired by now, but the lake and the village of El Remate present some opportunities for strolling and sight-seeing, if you have the energy.

Day 5: Jungle Horseback Riding or Culture of Cayo

After breakfast, your hotel will arrange for your taxi ride back to the border with Belize, where our driver will be waiting for you. On your way back to the Orchid Garden he will take you to Banana Bank for your Jungle horseback riding. They have the largest herd of horses in Belize, and they whisper train them for obedience and docility. There are hundreds of miles of trails through the jungle, and trekking along them is an amazing way of experiencing the flora and fauna surrounding you.

Day 6: ATM (Underground Expedition of Crystal Madam Cave):

If you opt for A.T.M. (Actun Tunichil Muknal, the "Cave of the Stone Sepulchre") you will breakfast at 7am and set off around 7.40am for your rendezvous with the A.T.M. tour vehicle at the village of Teakettle on the Western Highway. The underground exploration of the Tomb of the Crystal Maiden at Actun Tunichil Muknal is arguably not for the faint-hearted; but those who have done it often say it was the best thing about their trip to Belize.. It is an awesome experience that we have seen seven year olds and seventy year olds relish: but you need to be fairly confident in water, not to mind tight squeezes in small places, and to have fairly good knees for the climbing bits. You will know from the above description whether it is for you or not.

The cultural tour of West Belize (our alternative tour for those who decide ATM is not for them) affords fascinating glimpses into the lives, cultures and languages of some of the distinct groups contained within the rainbow coalition making up the population of Belize. Your guide will fill you in on some of the details concerning how and when each of these culturally and linguistically distinct groups settled in Belize and became Belizean. You will visit farmers' markets in San Ignacio and Spanish Lookout, get to sample fruits you may never have seen or heard of before, sample famously good Mennonite ice-cream and eat some very reasonably priced, good, wholesome food in a Mennonite restaurant.

The Inland Blue Hole is a beautifully kept nature reserve off the Hummingbird Highway (arguably the prettiest road in Belize). It features a cave you can stroll into, with an entrance and flight of steps which featured in one of the Indiana Jones movies. An underground stream wells up in one spot and creates a refreshing swimming hole in spectacularly beautiful surroundings: a lovely way to cool down on a hot day, floating in a Garden of Eden, where the cares of the so-called civilized world see no point in intruding.

Day 7:  Hol Chan Marine Reserve & Shark Ray Alley Snorkel

After breakfast, we will take you to the water taxi terminal in Belize City for your 90 minute transfer by boat to Ambergris Caye (San Pedro).  Your snorkeling tour will take place after breakfast, and is provided by a premier snorkeling and diving company. You will enjoy world class snorkeling along the longest barrier reef in the Northern hemisphere, and at Shark/Ray Alley: expect nurse sharks, giant eagle rays, loggerhead turtles, moray eels, countless smaller tropical fish and abundant, multicolored coral.. You will be free after snorkel tour before 4:30pm to explore San Pedro and perhaps indulge in a little shopping (some of the best shops in Belize are in San Pedro town). your return Water Taxi is schedule to leave San Pedro, our driver will pick you up at the Water Taxi Terminal and transfer you to your "Home" of Belize.

Day 8: Airport transfer

Your package includes an return Water Taxi to Belize City, our driver will pick you up at the Water Taxi Terminal and transfer you to International Airport to take your departure flight

Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM)

One of the highlights for the more active is our tour to Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM for short “Cave of the Stone Sepulcher”) . An Expedition underground to find the Crystal Mayan Maiden, this cave was featured in the National Geographic Explorer film Journey through the Underworld (1993).

You will bounce over some rough road to get to the start, then trek through some steamy jungle for up to an hour, fording the river 3 times (the water may be up to your knees, or even higher) to get to the mouth of the cave.  Then you swim in (there is no other way) and make your way past stalactites and stalagmites to crystallized human remains from Mayan rituals more than a thousand years ago.  This is an awesome trip which is arguably not for the faint-hearted; that is why we run a more sedate option on the same day!  some of your family member may choose to spend time exploring Mayan, Mennonite and Mestizo population centers with their different cultural overtones instead
