Transfer Option:

B=Breakfast   L=Lunch   D=Dinner

DAY 1 : We will meet you at the Municipal or International Airport and transfer you to the lodge. If you arrive early enough you may choose to visit the Belize Zoo. Upon your arrival you can take a tour of the local sites. (It's a jungle out there!) Oops, time for dinner already! (7:00...ish)    LD

DAY 2 : After breakfast enjoy an all day Jungle horseback ride. Explore the vast area of the 200 acre farm with agricultural fields, tree farms, cattle grazing, and horse pastures. Cross small streams, canter on jungle paths and swim with the horses in the Belize River. BLD

optional: all day Cave adventure or combo of Cave Tubing and Zip line.

DAY 3 : Today we will have a brisk half  day ride through the jungle. In the afternoon we are off to Roaring River Cave. We'll ride through the village of Roaring Creek and explore a seldom visited cave where you'll see ancient artifacts and feel an exquisite Mayan presence. We'll break at a wonderful swimming hole so be sure to bring your swimming suit. The water's quite clear so you might want to bring along a snorkel mask too. In the evening we will take you on a Jungle Night Walk.  BLD

DAY 4 : All day horseback ride in the Blue Hole National Park. Covering 575 acres, Blue Hole National Park encompasses this water-filled sinkhole, St. Herman’s Cave, and the surrounding jungle. (Belize’s other Blue Hole lies in the ocean at Lighthouse Reef.) Rich in wildlife, Blue Hole National Park harbors the jaguar, ocelot, tapir, peccary, tamandua, boa constrictor, fer-de-lance, toucan, crested guan, blue-crowned mot-mot, and red-legged honeycreeper. The entire area is a labyrinth of caves where the ancient Maya once lived and roamed; some of the chambers still show signs of rituals long past. The pool of the Blue Hole is an oblong collapsed karst sinkhole 300 feet across in some places and about 100 feet deep. Water destined for the nearby Sibun River surfaces briefly here only to disappear once more beneath the ground. Steps lead down to the swimming area, a pool 25 feet deep. BLD

Optional:  After an early breakfast we depart for a day trip to Guatemala to see the 'Great Dame' better know as the Mayan City of Tikal. Your English-speaking guide will regale you with tales of the most spectacular Maya site constructed. It takes 4-5 hours to explore this ancient city, then we'll return for another great meal. (this trip option requires a minimum of 2 participants.) 

DAY 5 : Transfer to the airport in Belize City. Board an airplane to the Ambergris Cayes. Take a taxi to the pre-arranged hotel (the hotel will pay the driver) and check into your ocean front suite. In the afternoon we invite you come to the office to go over the different activities that we can offer you.  B

DAY 6 and 7 : Take advantage of the many different options, be active all day or take some time out and relax on the beach. We can take you on an all day excursion to the "Blue Hole" for snorkeling and diving, explore the surrounding islands by motor boat - maybe try fishing for Bonefish, or we can take you out to the breathtaking reefs to explore the marine life just 10 minutes from your hotel.  B

DAY 8 : Breakfast and departure before noon for your flight back to Belize City. End of services.  B

Jungle Accommodations:

Cabanas with roofs made from jungle bay leaf thatch are uniquely designed. Crafted by Banana Bank craftsmen with fine Belizean woods, they are, in themselves works of art. Each cabana has a solarium bath, a sitting room and two bedrooms, each with queen and single bed. Four to six family members, friends or groups traveling together can be easily accommodated in each cabana as each room has a queen size bed and a single bed. Carved doors, original oil paintings and jungle ambiance create a truly memorable surrounding.
The dining room has an exotic feel to it. The tone is set by the soaring thatched roof. Carved banisters, pink gypsum stonewalls, and rich local hard wood paneling make this a beautiful place to enjoy. Our meals are served family style and are widely reported to be some of the best in Belize. The family atmosphere provides a setting for lively discussion between guests from different parts of the world and diverse interest. Menus vary but center around the kind of home cooking we call "grandma's food" although our girls cook up some of the best local cuisine found in Belize.
