Experience Overview
Experience the natural wonders, delicious cuisine and rich cultural history of Belize on this eight-day adventure.
Experience the natural wonders, delicious cuisine and rich cultural history of Belize on this eight-day adventure. This often-overlooked country is full of lush jungle, ancient ruins and vibrant coral reefs – and you’ll experience it all! Kicking off in Belize City, travel to the Lamanai Archaeological Site to explore the remains of the Maya civilisation, learn traditional recipes at a cooking class with local women in San Ignacio and spot howler monkeys in Tikal National Park. Finish your adventure in the island paradise of Caye Caulker to relax into the Bel-easy-an way of life.
Highlights
- Unwind on the paradisical island of Caye Caulker. Swim in the warm Caribbean waters, snorkel over shallow reefs and feast on freshly caught seafood and street barbeque.
- Meet a group of Maya women at a co-operative in San Ignacio to cook up traditional dishes and learn about how the organisation empowers local women.
- Spot colourful birds on a boat ride along the New River to the Lamanai Archaeological Site. Dating back to 1500 BC, the ruins are a fascinating insight into a once-thriving Maya city.
- Hop across the Guatemalan border to explore Maya ruins in Tikal National Park. Explore towering temples and pyramids surrounded by thick rainforest home to coatis, monkeys and parrots.
- Opt to hike and wade through shallow river waters to Actun Tunichil Muknal, where crystallised skeletons and ancient Maya relics have been preserved for over 1000 years.

Excellent trip to the see the sights of Belize. From the jungle to the Caribbean, this trip has got something for everyone.

Dieser Trip beinhaltet die richtige Balance zwischen Natur, Kultur und Aktivitäten. Belize lässt sich wunderbar erleben. Speziell die Bootsfahrt nach Lamanai und der Ausflug nach Tikal in Guatemala sind ein Highlight. Ich empfehle die ATM Caves als einzigartigen Ausflug dazuzubuchen (Schwimmen und keine Platzangst ist vorausgesetzt). Das Schnorcheln auf Caye Caulker bildet den perfekten Abschluss. Wir sahen Haie, Schildkröten, Delphine und Barracudas. Dieser Trip hat sich definitiv gelohnt.

This was my first time doing a solo group travel (woman/30s) and it did not disappoint. Trip was well organized, informative and very fun. Good balance between included activities/food and free time. Fidelio was an amazing trip leader and our local day guides were all friendly and knowledgeable. A great way to explore Belize and Tikal! Would definitely recommend taking this trip!
04/09/2024
A truly lovely trip with a good mix of a Mayan cultural history, adventure, and relaxing beach time. Fidelio was an amazing guide!
04/02/2024
This is a great trip, particularly if your time is limited. Mayan history and culture, lovely food, time in Caye Caulker and some excellent excursions, including into Guatemala, make for a great journey through Belize. For an optional excursion, the ATM caves can't be beaten......Belize me! Our tour leader Shaq was great and I only wish I'd stayed an extra day or two on Caye Caulker. Overall, highly recommend this trip.

This was an amazing way to see Belize (and a little bit of Guatemala). I enjoyed every bit of the trip! There were great food options for vegetarians. Tikal and the ATM caves were astounding!
03/12/2024
Seeing wildlife on Lamanai ride/ruins was incredible!! A few accommodations were jaw-dropping. Simple travel days. Special experience making tortillas with women. Some optional experiences are must-dos. Unforgettable time exploring Tikal. Just relaxed on Caye Caulker. All sailing opportunities are environmentally-friendly. Lucky enough to find and swim with turtle out snorkeling. Recommend sunset cruise and flyover blue hole (extra costs).

Don’t hesitate, book this trip! What an incredible way to explore Belize and the bite sized introduction to Guatemala was absolutely perfect. The itinerary was well organized to ensure all the highlights of the country were well covered, and if you’re lucky enough to have Shaq as your guide you’re in for a real treat. ATM caves and Caye Caulker were the highlights but every stop was beautiful. I left this trip with such a full heart, and Belize will forever be one of my favourite places on earth.

Excellent tour guide (Reyes), great knowledge after visiting both Guatemala and Belize. Could another country be added to this trip? Would like street food to complement the restaurant food.

This was my first trip with intrepid. Exploring the Land of Belize with Tikal add-on with intrepid was a blast. The itinerary from the jungle to the islands was superb. Our host Reyes was simply the best! His love for his job was infectious. I can't wait to book another trip in the nearest future

Belize and the Mayan people came alive on this active adventure through the historic sites. The highlight was the ATM caves and our guide who was unBelizeable. Check this trip off your bucket list.

Our experience on the Land of Belize trip was incredible- we highly recommend! We were able to learn, see, and do so much in a week from exploring caves and Mayan ruins to sailing and snorkeling in the beautiful waters of Caye Caulker! Our tour guide Fivelio was incredible - very knowledgeable and friendly and made the trip what it was!

What an amazing adventure in Belize! It was a great group and we got to see so many things including swimming with a manatee! I enjoyed all of the different activities from the caves, snorkeling, Mayan ruins and cuisine.
01/06/2024
I had done several solo adventure tours with other travel companies, this was my first with Intrepid, they did not disappoint. Everything about this trip was fantastic! The ease of booking, showing up, welcome meeting etc was explained. Then the brilliant trip itself in beautiful Belize with a local Intrepid Tour guide ...I can't wait to book my next Intrepid trip.
