The Belize Trip
Overview
For the love of cave tubing, ancient ruin discoveries, and island-life relaxation — add snorkeling turquoise waters, island sailing, and beachside cocktails. That’s our Belize trip.
If you’re looking for a quick getaway with some unique adventures followed by three days of easy, breezy relaxation… this is it!
Our Belize trip is the perfect escape from winter where you’ll make new friends, step back in time to explore Mayan Ruins, and then go soak up island life with a coconut drink in hand.
Come hang with a crew of solo travelers as we bask in the sun, sail through crystal-clear waters, snorkel with nurse sharks and sea turtles, and zip around Caye Caulker’s sandy streets in golf carts.
Touch down in Belize City and head to your boutique stay. From the moment you arrive, you'll be surrounded by tropical charm, perfect for unwinding poolside with a cocktail and connecting with new friends. Dine with the group, and take a dip in the pool before you rest up. Tomorrow's your first full day of cultural exploration.
Grab some breakfast for yourself, and then we're off to Altun Ha to check out the ancient Mayan ruins. This incredible city dates back to 250 BC and was inhabited for 1,200 years. After exploring the tombs, pyramids and temples, we'll grab lunch together and then set off on a tubing adventure through an incredible cave system nestled in the jungle. The mammoth chambers, stalagmites, and stalactites of this underground network once hosted Mayan ceremonies. After that, we've got a ride to the port, and then it's a 45-minute cruise over to Caye Caulker. The island is easy to navigate, and our hotel is right by the water.
If you're up early, grab some breakfast and take a walk on the beach for an easy start to the day. Mid-morning, we're headed out for a full day on a private catamaran filed with lots of aquatic adventures. We'll stop at three unreal snorkel spots, and you'll have the chance to get up close and personal with one of the Caribbean's most vibrant reefs and sealife. The local team will also serve up lunch and the drinks will be cold - it doesn't get much better than that! The evening is free time to grab dinner as you please... and maybe hit up one of the lively beach bars spinning tropical Caribbean beats!
Have breakfast at the hotel before enjoying a relaxing morning. You'll have golf cart access for the day, making it easy (and fun) to cruise Caye Caulker's sandy streets and explore the island at your own pace. In the afternoon, we're off to The Split, Caye Caulker's most iconic swimming spot — where you can float, relax, or grab a drink with ocean views. Dig your feet in and spend some time in the sand with your new travel crew. The food is great, the views are better, and you may even consider canceling your return ticket home... That night, we'll celebrate our tropical adventure with a festive farewell dinner.
All good things must come to an end. Grab one last breakfast before hopping on the ferry back to reality. Cruising out across the insanely beautiful colors of the Caribbean isn't the worst way to end a trip. You've got new friends and great memories from a week in paradise. Until next time!
