The Belize Barrier Reef is the second largest on the planet, and the snorkelling – amongst friendly rays, turtles and nurse sharks – is simply sensational.

And then there are the lush rainforests, home not only to rare flora and fauna, but to ancient Mayan ruins. Talk to one of our Belize experts about a tailor-made itinerary, and they will arrange a pilgrimage to the remarkable archaeological site of Caracol with three temples on its summit. You’ll discover a Mayan acropolis, an astronomic observatory and stepped plazas – all hidden away in high-canopied jungle.

With the expertise of our specialists, your holiday could end with total relaxation, cruising off in a small, luxury sailing boat to deserted islands and secret lagoons where you can fish; sunbathe on empty, white beaches or simply laze about on board listening to the gentle lap of the sea.
