An Adventure-Filled and Relaxing Belize Itinerary

Cayo District Jungle Adventures:

Horseback riding: Take a horseback riding adventure through the rainforest, and end your journey at a local waterfall to take a refreshing dip.

Mountain bike: Take mountain bikes out for a spin on the local roads (a must on any Belize itinerary), and end up at Big Rock Falls in the Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve.

Relaxing massage at Gaïa: Get a 60-minute massage in a jungle hut at Gaïa Riverlodge, to unwind from the day’s adventures.

Cave yoga: Take an ATV to a nearby cave to experience a torchlit yoga class, arranged by your hotel.

Beach Adventures on Ambergris Caye:

Morning bike ride: Take a morning bike ride on the local streets of San Pedro for a relaxing way to start the day. Stop at Sol Café for a quick coffee and delicious pastry.

Snorkeling at Mexico Rocks & Shark Ray Alley: Given Belize has the world’s second largest barrier reef, Mexican Rocks is the perfect place to go snorkeling for an afternoon. Stop by Shark Ray Alley to swim with one of the many nurse sharks and stingrays in the area.

Secret Beach: Take a trip to Secret (not so secret) Beach and enjoy a cerveza and bite to eat at one of the local restaurants.

Evening in San Pedro: Rent golf carts and spend an evening in downtown San Pedro for a lively nightlife scene.

Tip: Stay at one of the few sister resorts between the mainland and beach area to experience a seamless transition between places.
