Snorkel the easy way—using a Sea-Doo Aqua Scooter that will propel you underwater faster than you can swim, leaving you completely free to enjoy the sights. After the dive master’s orientation on how to use the scooter, you will head into the crystal-clear waters just off the beach. The self-propelled motorized scooter will do all the work. Just hold onto the two handles and let it carry you along the reef at a comfortable speed. You can expect to see all sorts of brightly colored tropical fish, sea fans and unusual coral formations. If you want a closer look at the marine life, just point the scooter down and it will take you a bit deeper. Following your power snorkeling adventure, you will enjoy free time on the beach. Do whatever you please, whether it be basking in the sun, strolling along the beach or joining a friendly game of volleyball.

Snorkel in shallow waters with a certified dive guide that will lead you along a coral reef at an agreeable pace. The experience is ideal for beginners and intermediate snorkelers, as you will snorkel from the beach and progress only as far as you feel comfortable. Following a briefing on snorkeling basics and how to use the gear, you will enter the shallow water and begin your snorkeling adventure. As you will discover, it isn’t necessary to snorkel in deep water to see an array of vibrant tropical marine life.

Once you become comfortable snorkeling, feel free to venture out into deeper water with the dive guide.

Explore two excavated Maya ruins in the dense jungle near the border of Belize, both of them archaeologically significant for their ingeniously designed temples.

While browsing the ruins, you may see plazas, stairways adorned with hieroglyphics and the magnificent Temple of the Owls, which features an internal burial chamber with owl-shaped pottery. The city is believed to have been the seat of the Kan or “snake” dynasty that ruled this area beginning in the 6th century. You will also explore the nearby Mayan city of Kohunlich, which was built around the same time. Its most dominant feature is the Temple of the Masks, a structure that honors the sun god with huge stone masks on the stairways. According to archaeologists, the buildings in Kohunlich would have been stuccoed, painted red and decorated with geometric designs.

Take an extensive look into the excavated ruins of Kohunlich, a Mayan city best known for its Temple of the Masks. You will find the city deep in the jungle in an area where majestic cahoon palms grow. Kohunlich is the Mayan word for the tree. While the park-like setting is beautiful, the ruins are even more impressive. They include a sunken palace, acropolis and a ball court, where the ancient Mayas played games. The highlight is the pyramid-shaped Temple of Masks, whose stairway features 10-foot-high sculpted masks of the sun god. Built before 500 AD, these marvelous masks still retain some of their original colored stucco. Kohunlich’s broad range of distinctive architecture, natural beauty and secluded location in the jungle set it apart from more commonly visited sites.

Explore the ruins of Chacchoben, an ancient Mayan pilgrimage location known as “The Place of Red Corn.” On the 50-minute drive there, the guide will describe some of the history and culture of the Mayas that is pertinent to Chacchoben. Because of the dense jungle, the overgrown site wasn’t discovered until the 1940s and more than 50 years passed before excavation was begun. Dense foliage still surrounds Chacchoben, lending it an ancient feel that the ruins greatly enhance. While meandering about, you will likely see the original red paint on the stucco walls in one of the pyramids and the temple with a mural showing the astronomical positions of Venus. You will also have time to climb the Gran Basamento, a structure that rises above the tree level, where archaeologists found ceremonial offerings. Before re-boarding your coach for the return transfer to the pier, you will have a brief break to enjoy a complimentary beverage and perhaps purchase a souvenir.

Discover how the Mayas lived by visiting an archeological site on the mainland and how plants are cultivated using modern techniques at the Belize Spice Farm and Botanical Gardens. The ruins are known as Nim Li Punit, which means “large hat” in the Mayan language. The name refers to the depiction of a ruler wearing a large headdress on a Maya stela. Stone stelae with drawings and writing can be found throughout the site, providing a glimpse into the Mayan civilization. The excavated complex of buildings also includes a ball court, plazas and an observatory, all of which are shaded by a canopy of large trees. Plants flourish in the tropical environment as you will discover by riding a tram through the Belize Spice Farm and Botanical Gardens. You will see the fascinating process of how the spices are dried and packaged for export, and then have the opportunity to purchase some of them.

Wander through the well-preserved ruins of an archeological site full of royal tombs and stone monuments that commemorate important events to this Mayan community.

As you meander about, you can expect to see a ball court with celestial representations, numerous plazas, tombs of the royal families and monuments with carvings that offer a glimpse into the ancient Mayan civilization. Dozens of these monuments, known as stelae, can be found in Nim Li Punit. The name of the site, which means “large hat” in the Mayan language, refers to refers to the large headdress that one of the rulers is shown wearing on one of the stela. Oil prospectors discovered Nim Li Punit in the 1970s and excavations started shortly afterwards.

Explore the surrounding mangrove estuaries with a naturalist that will point out the wildlife and elaborate on the unusual characteristics of the flora and fauna. As you cruise through the protected lagoon, chances are you will spot West Indian manatees gliding through the shallow waters at a languid pace while grazing on vegetation, one of the reasons they are called sea cows. Manatees typically surface to breathe every few minutes, and you will notice their nostrils above the water before you see the rest of their bodies. As the boat noses into the estuaries, the naturalist will explain how the mangroves provide shelter for a variety of wildlife, particularly birds and fish. You might see great egrets, herons and anhingas, a species of bird that hunts by spearing fish with its sharp slender beak. Roseate spoonbills are also commonly seen sweeping their bills from side to side while foraging for food.

Float down a lazy river on an inner tube, taking in the spectacular rainforest scenery and passing by an authentic Mayan village. The river winds its way along the foot of the Maya Mountains, a landscape full of pristine national parks. No paddling will be necessary. Just sit back and let the current carry you downstream at an easy pace that will allow you to fully enjoy the serene jungle atmosphere. Listen for squawking birds, gaze up in the tree canopy and take comfort in knowing that the rainforest is protected from development. Most of the way is shaded, making the trip even more pleasurable. In time, you will arrive at Maya Landings, a small riverside village where you might enjoy a snack on your own and shop for handicrafts.

Raft down a spring-fed river through a jungle setting full of indigenous wildlife. Even the journey to the rafting site will be spectacularly scenic, as you will take a winding road along the foot of the Maya Mountains and then pass an authentic Mayan village. A short orientation follows, after which you will ease into the raft and begin floating downstream. The river is rated Class I, a definition that involves small waves and obstructions that can easily be avoided. The guide will instruct everyone in your raft on the best way to paddle around boulders and negotiate the small rapids along the way. Although this is an easy rafting experience, it will still be exhilarating, especially considering the natural beauty. On the return to Harvest Caye, you will stop at the Mayan village for a snack on your own.

Cruise the winding Monkey River, looking for wildlife in the surrounding rainforest and then enjoy a hike with a naturalist that will explain the plants’ medicinal uses. Along the way, the guide will provide commentary about the region’s history, including how the exportation of bananas fueled the economy in the late 19th century. Little evidence of that thriving time period remains, as the meandering Monkey River is bordered by undeveloped rainforest. You can expect to see a variety of wildlife, including crocodiles, turtles, iguanas and perhaps even a troop of screeching black howler monkeys. Also, keep an eye out for keel-billed toucans, the national bird of Belize. Once you disembark, you will hike through the forest while the naturalist guide points out plants with medicinal qualities. For instance, you might learn how the leaves of the soursop are often brewed into a tea that reduces fever and how wild yam is used for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Paddle around the lagoon on Harvest Caye in a single or double kayak, while admiring the tropical views and keeping an eye out for wildlife. After a brief orientation on how to make the most of your kayaking outing, you will be free to explore Manatee Lagoon. The water here is typically calm, so it couldn’t be easier to kayak.
