What to expect on this itinerary

This 10-day Belize tour leads you off the beaten track as you stay on near-uninhabited islets. Find a private piece of paradise, kayak together on remote Caribbean reefs, and walk hand in hand across the white sand on this unique getaway for two. Your days can be spent kayaking, snorkeling, and laying on the beach, and your evenings can be just the two of you and the stars.

Day 1

Mayflower Bocawina National Park – Arrival

Your Caribbean escape will begin in the rainforest. While that may sound peculiar, it would be a shame to miss out on the pristine nature that covers Belize’s coastline. When you land, you will transfer to the trees, where you will find monkeys as they watch over the trails. Jaguars live here, and although they are secretive and near impossible to see, they indicate just how untouched the wilderness is. The rainforest has escapist qualities that are similar to the islands, and you will quickly feel disconnected from the rest of the world.

Detailed Description

This 10-day Belize tour is not the typical Caribbean beach getaway for two. You will not be staying at a flashy resort that is shared by hundreds of other couples, nor does this itinerary include the highly opulent extras that might be wished for on a honeymoon. Instead, this is an adventure that is designed around one of the world’s most exquisite marine systems. You will stay on islands that are almost entirely deserted. Your accommodations will be comfortable but not luxurious; however, you will find your own private piece of the Caribbean. Here, the sand is soft, and the stars shine throughout the night.

This couple’s itinerary is centered on two parts of the Belize Barrier Reef. You will spend several days on Southwest Caye in Glover’s Reef Marine Reserve and a few more on the tiny islet of Half Moon Caye. Your days can be spent sea kayaking, snorkeling, kayak sailing, and stand-up paddleboarding. After an orientation day with your guide, you will get to create your daily program, during which you can mix different self-guided activities. Snorkeling is always a highlight here because the shallow water makes it easy to encounter a large variety of species. Double kayaks make for intimate shared journeys. Your week will be spent on reefs of the Caribbean.

You will begin your vacation with two nights in Mayflower Bocawina National Park at a luxury eco-lodge. Here, you can hike and zipline through the rainforest and track wildlife in the wilderness. An afternoon in Belize City will break up the two Caribbean destinations. The islets have been chosen to help you escape the throngs of tourists and stay off the beaten track. Regardless, you will get to discover some celebrated Belizean destinations, such as the Great Blue Hole and he Aquarium. As the sun fades each day, there will be nothing but the stars and the surf to keep you company.

Belize Trip Review: Cave Tubing, Snorkeling, Bird Watching, Hiking, 9 Days

Zicasso’s travel agent was a pleasure to work with and helped us plan an amazing vacation. She was easy to talk to, listened to what we wanted in our trip, and was very responsive. The planning process was fun and she gave options that fit our family and budget. She ensured we were well prepared for the trip, walking me through each step before we left, and provided a great app to house all the information. I will definitely use her again when we head back to Central America.

We had an amazing trip. Thanks to Zicasso’s travel specialists for their due diligence in preparing our tours, guides, and finding us a beautiful place to stay.

I rarely want to return to a place, as there are so many places to see in the world, but everyone in our group agreed that we would return to Belize.

The resort was beautiful. The staff was super-friendly and we had our own kitchen and living room, which was perfect for our large group.

The special events and excursions were excellent. The guides, drivers, and experiences were top-notch. We cannot say enough about the travel company and Belize.
