Palm-fringed shoreline and jetty beside clear Caribbean water in Belize

Classic Belize 9 days

9 days

Belize - Ancient Maya and Caribbean Shores

Delve into Belize’s Maya Forest before ending the 9 day experience with time among the coral reefs of the Caribbean. In the foothills of the Maya Mountains, swim through freshwater streams into a sacred cave once used by the ancient Maya, then head deeper into the forest to a remote lodge known for its birdlife. Explore on foot, horseback or by canoe, with the ancient site of Lamanai and nighttime wildlife drives among the options. From here, fly to a Caribbean island for five nights beside the sea, with snorkelling at Mexico Rock bringing you into calm, shallow waters filled with angelfish, stingrays and giant brain coral.
