TENTATIVE SCHEDULE:
Day One: Arrival at the Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (PGIA). From there we are off to the marina for boat trip to the Island of Caye Caulker where we shall spend the night at the Masapan Hotel or another hotel of similar quality.
Day Two: The small coastal village of Caye Caulker offers us the opportunity to connect with the ocean by visit breathtaking and awe-inducing marine sites such as: Hol Chan Marine Reserve, parts of the Belize barrier Reef (the largest coral reef on the western coast) and Shark Ray Alley where you will share the ocean waves with nurse sharks and graceful rays. We’ll take the last boat back to Belize City and stay at the Mopan Hotel.
Day Three: From the mighty ocean we look to the fertile land of Belize as we head toJaguar Paw Resort – 200 acres of jungle trails and splendid caves. After a short hike, get ready for a unique Cave Tubing experience in the wondrous Caves Branch River - witness the tremendous power of water as you meander through the limestone caves of Belize.
