Belize Self-Guided Tours and Trips

The Discover Belize trip was a great mix of different activities including Mayan temples, wildlife, snorkelling, views etc. Highly recommended.

We have just returned from this wonderful trip. It was absolutely packed with amazing experiences, from visiting awe inspiring ancient Mayan sites, to getting close to lots of amazing wildlife in the rainforest, to snorkelling with rays and sharks in the aquarium-like sea. Belize is the most beautiful country, and everyone met was so friendly and made us feel welcome. There was a small hiccup with the itinerary that was outside Explore’s control, but the team in Belize worked really hard to rectify the situation. Our guide, Tarique, was awesome. All the kids in our group really looked up to him, and learned so much from him- his love and knowledge of his country was inspiring. He kept everything running smoothly and was very happy to answer our ten thousand questions. Our driver, Elvis, was also hugely knowledgeable, especially about birds, and we learned so much from him too. We all loved travelling with other families- we haven’t done so before, but we’ll do again. I will definitely be returning to Belize in the future.

Fantastic trip offering a variety of experiences. Ticks both cultural and nature boxes. If you enjoy scrambling and learning about Mayan history, along with watching wildlife both on land and in the water, this trip is for you. Our guide, Justin, did everything he could to make our experience enjoyable. Would highly recommend.

Excellent trip. I really enjoyed myself. I think a few things or options could enhance it. Options for free day in san Ignacio didn’t mention cave tubing or ATM cave. I think these are worth offering. I found the weather really hot, and an alternative to hike to waterfalls and viewpoint would have been tubing down the river at the exact same location in Cockscomb Park. I would have definitely chosen to do that if offered. It wasn’t offered. That was my least favorite day -although had it been cooler or less humid, maybe it would have been okay? Or had I been cool tubing down a river…. Loved the hotel at Tikal and going to sleep and waking up hearing howler monkeys was amazing. Also really enjoyed Crooked Tree, and snorkeling in Caye Caulker, visiting Tikal, etc. Was a really nice tour.

This is an excellent way to ‘discover’ Belize as the trip is so varied to inc historic sites and ruins to river swims / canoeing & snorkelling as options. There is plenty of wildlife / birds ( monkeys/ turtles/ sharks/ toucans/ spider monkeys etc). The food is excellent and varied.. several in our group were vegetarian & this was no problem. The pace of the tour is good.

A great trip that covers all the major sites. There was a lot of variety - jungle, sea, wildlife, history. Trip leader, Wilfred Garbutt, was fantastic! I would highly recommend this trip!
