Day 1 - Sunday - Arrival in Belize - (RO) Meet & Greet on arrival at Belize International Airport and transfer to the Belize Biltmore Plaza Hotel for an overnight stay. Day 2 - Monday - The Adventure Begins... (B,L,D)
Our journey begins by charter plane from Belize City, flying the length of the country over a mosaic of mountains, rivers and rainforests before landing in the small southern town of Punta Gorda. From here we commence our spectacular adventure by land and river into the seldom visited primary rainforest of the Blue Creek region. Within the Sanctuary is a unique canopy walkway which enables us to walk through the treetops, over 80 feet above the forest floor. We will also explore a vast cave system. The next two days are based from our jungle lodge within the Blue Creek Wildlife Sanctuary. Accommodations are basic dormitory-style cabanas with a central lodge for dining, educations talks etc. Although rustic the picturesque location in the rainforest along a beautiful creek is the real attraction.

We are located in the heart of Belize's richest primary forests - an area far off the tourist path, considered the homeland of the Kekchi and Mopan Maya. Also in the surrounding jungle are the Hokeb Ha Caves, with fantastic flowstone formations, delicate cave pearls, and translucent draperies of calcium carbonate. Here we gain a sense of why the caves were held sacred by the Maya as a gateway to the netherworld.

Day 4 - Wednesday - Jungle River Kayaking - (B,L,D)
The next stage of our journey takes us deeper into the wilderness. We spend 3 days on the Upper Moho River using specially designed PVC-construction, two-person inflatable river kayaks, which combine the stability of a raft with the ease and performance of a kayak. This river has been chosen for the superb scenery and wildlife viewing and combines flat-water, underground excursions and exhilarating whitewater challenges. Travelling the river through the rainforest in the wild south of Belize is an exceptional experience to remember and talk of for years to come.

Day 7 - Saturday - Garifuna Culture in Dangriga - (B,L)

After lunch fly from Punta Gorda to the village of Dangriga. This evening there will be a Belizean Garifuna Celebration of Drumming and Dancing. You don't have far to go after the "party" as you will overnight at Chaleanor's Hotel in Dangriga.

Day 8 - Sunday - Southern Barrier Reef Bliss

It is time for some well-earned rest and relaxation! A boat will whisk you to the tiny tropical island of Tobacco Caye for a 3 night stay in basic but comfortable Belizean-style island accommodation.

Every direction you look is a sea view on this palm-fringed coral island..

Tobacco Caye is one of the privately-owned islands sitting right on top of the Southern Belize Barrier Reef and is part of the Southwater Caye Marine Reserve which has been designated a World Heritage Site.

MEALS : A cook will prepare three delicious meals every day including fresh seafood, fresh fruit and home baking, served family-style.
