This was definitely the trip of a lifetime! Belize provided everything from jungle wildlife to Mayan temples and the most incredible snorkelling of our lives. We swam with a manatee, a mantaray, sharks, eagle rays and all kinds of other wonderful sea life. From the remote beauty of tiny Tobacco Caye to the fun, chilled vibe of Caye Caulker, and the magical wildlife including frogs, snakes (an enormous vine snake - don't worry, it wasn't poisonous), hummingbirds, and bats of the rainforest at TREES, we all absolutely loved this trip and will remember our Explore experience forever.

day 1Join trip in Belize City

Our tour starts today in Belize City, the largest city in Belize, located on the Caribbean coast. It's a vibrant destination thanks to its mix of colonial architecture, diverse culture and nearby natural attractions. Our tour leader plans to meet us in the hotel reception at 6pm for a welcome meeting. There are no other activities planned for today, so you're free to arrive in Belize City at any time. If you'd like an airport transfer today, you'll need to arrive into Belize's Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE), which is around a 20-minute drive from the hotel. If you miss the welcome meeting, the tour leader will catch you up as soon as possible. It's worth noting that flights from the UK usually require an overnight stay in the USA, with the most frequent flight options transiting via Miami or Houston. We recommend booking an airport hotel, which often offer complimentary airport shuttle services.
