Belize Reef & Ruins

Belize packs jungle, reef and ruins into a small stretch of Central America, and this trip moves through all three without rushing. You'll cover ground on foot, in water and by boat, with a cross-border side trip to Guatemala thrown in.

Expect cave systems, rainforest trails and a proper stretch of time in the Belize Barrier Reef, the second largest reef system in the world. The trip crosses into Guatemala to take in Tikal, one of the great Mayan sites, before winding down on Caye Caulker.

This is a small-group, fully guided trip with a mix of private and shared rooms, pitched as easy in terms of physical demand — good for people who want a full itinerary without technical challenge.
