To offer you the widest choice of experiences, many trips are designed (and departure dates organized) so that you can combine different reef and inland trips together. Special discounts are available when two or more trips (totaling 13 days or more) are combined.

ABOUT BELIZE

An adventurer’s paradise, Belize is a peaceful, English-speaking country just two hours away from 3 major U.S. Gateways. With a diversity of adventure opportunities unmatched by any other country, the Belizean people have protected over 40% of the country as parks and natural reserves.

Belize is on the Caribbean coast, nestled between Mexico and Guatemala and offers an intriguing mix of tropical forests rich with wildlife, majestic mountains, mysterious Maya temples, and diving and fishing experiences beyond comparison. In a single day, one can go from tropical forest to the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere.
And the people are as warm and friendly as the climate. BELIZE@FriendsTravel.com

For the outdoor enthusiast, Belize presents unlimited opportunities. You might say that Belize is the outdoors. You will find diving, snorkeling, fishing, hiking, and exploring nature at its best.

THINGS TO DO

Pack your bags, but keep it light! While Belize offers more than enough to keep you on the move (even if it to just roll over on the beach) you will never have to move far thanks to its diverse and convenient geography. The following is just a small sample of what awaits you in your travels of Belize.

Sun, sea, and sand—need we say more?

• Hike or canoe under the shade of the rainforest canopy in the company of over 500 species of birds.
• Observe stalactites and stalagmites in caves that contain pottery and ceremonial remnants of the ancient Maya.
• Island hop by kayak between the cayes or around one of Belize’s three atolls,
• Witness a sunset from atop a Mayan temple
• Snorkel with the kids and learn about the biology of the barrier reef.
• Take a refreshing dip beneath one of the many waterfalls.
• Exchange vows with the Caribbean Sea lapping at your feet,
• Swap stories back at the resort after a day of wrestling with permit, tarpon and bonefish.

In Belize, opportunities for adventure abound.
