Day by Day
A detailed day-by-day plan for this 8-day journey.
Met at the airport and transferred in comfort to an acclaimed luxury lodge in the Cayo jungle. Settle into your suite with its private plunge pool and rainforest view, and enjoy a gourmet welcome dinner.
A private guided day exploring the temples of Xunantunich or Caracol and swimming beneath a secluded jungle waterfall, returning to the lodge for a spa treatment and fine dining.
A day to indulge at your own pace, with optional private cave tubing, horseback riding or birdwatching, or simply the plunge pool, spa and rainforest tranquillity.
A scenic flight over the barrier reef brings you to a private island or exclusive beachfront resort. Slip into barefoot luxury, with the reef at your doorstep and a cocktail as the sun sets.
A private boat carries you to pristine reef for snorkelling or diving among turtles, rays and vibrant coral, followed by a sunset sail with champagne and a candlelit dinner on the sand.
A free day in island paradise: dive the Blue Hole by private charter, paddleboard the flats, enjoy a spa treatment, or simply relax on your private stretch of beach.
Another indulgent island day to explore the reef, take an optional excursion, or do gloriously nothing at all, ending with a farewell seafood feast under the stars.
A final barefoot-luxury morning before your private flight back to Belize City and onward international departure.

Know when to go.
- Language & currency: English is the official language of Belize, which makes travel refreshingly easy. The currency is the Belize Dollar, fixed at two to one against the US Dollar, and US Dollars are accepted almost everywhere
- Visa: Many nationalities, including UK, US, EU, Canadian and Australian passport holders, do not need a visa for tourism and receive an entry stamp on arrival; check your nationality with us before travelling and carry a passport valid for at least six months
- Best time to visit: The dry season from late November to May is ideal for the reef, the cayes and the Maya sites, while the greener wet season (June to November) brings afternoon showers and is also the Atlantic hurricane season
- The reef and the cayes: Belize sits on the second-largest barrier reef in the world, superb for snorkelling and diving; bring reef-safe sunscreen, as regular sunscreen is restricted in marine reserves to protect the coral
- Health: A yellow fever certificate is only required if arriving from a country with risk of transmission. Bring insect repellent for the jungle, stay hydrated, and drink bottled or filtered water
- Getting around: Belize is small and easy to travel, with short domestic flights and boat transfers connecting the mainland, San Pedro (Ambergris Caye) and Caye Caulker; internal transfers are included in your tour
- Money & tipping: Cards are accepted in hotels and larger restaurants, but carry cash for local eateries, markets and tips. Tipping around ten percent is customary for good service and appreciated by guides
- Electricity & connectivity: Power is 110V with US-style flat-pin plugs, so US travellers need no adapter. Wifi is available in most hotels, though it can be slower on the remote cayes and jungle lodges
Frequently Asked Questions
Which lodges and resorts will we stay in?
You stay in Belize's finest properties, an award-winning luxury jungle lodge in Cayo and an exclusive private-island or beachfront reef resort. Exact properties are tailored to your dates and confirmed on booking.
Can everything be private and customised?
Yes — this is a fully private, tailor-made journey, with private guides, transfers and boat trips throughout, and every detail from dining to spa days and scenic flights arranged around your preferences.
What meals are included?
Daily breakfast is included throughout, along with any meals specifically named in the itinerary such as a welcome dinner or a reef picnic lunch. Belize's food, from fresh seafood to Creole and Maya dishes, is a highlight, so most lunches and dinners are left free for you to explore.
Are internal flights and boat transfers included?
Yes — all transfers within Belize, including the short domestic flights or boat rides between the mainland and the cayes, are arranged and included so your journey is seamless.
Do I need a visa for Belize?
Many nationalities do not need a visa for tourism and receive an entry stamp on arrival. We confirm the requirement for your nationality when you book; a passport valid for at least six months is needed.
When is the best time to visit Belize?
The dry season from late November to May offers the best conditions for the reef, cayes and Maya sites. The green season (June to November) is quieter and lush but brings afternoon showers and falls in the hurricane season.
Is Belize suitable for non-divers?
Absolutely. The reef is wonderful for snorkelling straight off the beach or boat, and there is a wealth of jungle, wildlife, cave and Maya-ruin experiences on the mainland, so you do not need to dive to love Belize.
Can the itinerary be customised?
Yes — every itinerary is a starting point. We can adjust the balance of reef and jungle, add nights, change islands or lodges, and tailor the activities to your interests and pace.
