Oceania  Insignia

Enjoy an enlightening drive past the must-see landmarks in Belize City and then take an exhilarating airboat ride into a marshland teeming with wading birds. Along the way, the guide will relate some of the city’s history, starting with the shipwrecked British sailors that settled here in 1683. A century or so later, St. John’s Cathedral was built; it is the oldest building in Belize constructed by Europeans and still holds services. Before long, you will embark on an airboat and zip off at speeds approaching 40 miles per hour. Upon reaching Almond Hill Lagoon, the captain will cut the engine and quietly drift through the clear water, where you may spot manatees. You will then enter mangrove-lined Indian Creek, another pristine wildlife area that most other boats can’t reach because the water is only inches deep. You can expect to see all sorts of birds such as herons and anhingas and perhaps even a crocodile.

Hike a jungle trail to a gently flowing river, where you will float on an inner tube through an intricate cave system that the ancient Maya once inhabited. A picturesque drive on the Western Highway will only hint at the natural beauty that lies ahead in the mountains. You will then take a leisurely hike through the gorgeous jungle, accompanied by a naturalist that will point out plants and herbs that the Maya used for medicinal purposes. Upon arriving at the cave entrance, you will don a headlamp, ease into an inner tube and then begin floating 1.5 miles down the river. The water will move slowly but steadily, carrying you from one cave to the next. Occasionally, you will emerge into the sunlight, only to enter another cave system. Lunch follows the experience, making it all the more unforgettable.

Look for wildlife while cruising the New River Lagoon to an archaeological site where you will meander through the excavated ruins of a Mayan civilization. After a scenic drive inland to Tower Hill, you will board a riverboat and begin cruising the placid lagoon. You are bound to see an abundance of wading birds and Morelets crocodiles, as this portion of the lagoon is protected and difficult to reach except by boat. If you hear loud whooping from the trees, chances are, it is the sound of territorial male howler monkeys warning other males to stay away. In time, you will disembark at Lamanai, the Mayan word for “submerged crocodile.” As you will discover, the ruins here are well-preserved and include more than 100 structures, including temples, plazas and ball courts, some of which are adorned with carved masks. Lamanai is an extraordinary site that lends great insight into the world of the Maya.

Gain appreciation for the diversity in this part of Belize by exploring a Mayan archaeological site and the architectural highlights in urban Belize City. As you walk around the ancient temples and pyramids in Altun Ha, be sure to notice the still-intact lagoon that the Mayas built. In the Yucatec Maya language, Altun Ha means “rockstone pond,” a reference to the lagoon. One of the city’s greatest priest-kings was buried in the Temple of the Green Tomb, along with a huge cache of jewels, including a jade head of the sun god. For a more modern perspective of life in Belize, you will return to Belize City for a look at its landmarks. Highlights include St. John’s Cathedral, which is the oldest building in the country constructed by Europeans. You will also see a beautiful colonial mansion where the British governors once lived. It has been converted into the House of Culture museum.

Explore an ancient Mayan ceremonial site that has been periodically excavated over the past 100 years, revealing a fascinating complex of pyramids, plazas and temples. A meandering two-hour drive and a ride across the Mopan River on a unique hand-cranked ferry will bring you to the site near the Guatemalan border. Curiously, the Maya built Xunantunich in the 7th century A.D., when their civilization was already in decline. In 1890s, archaeologists began crude excavations with dynamite that exposed six major plazas containing dozens of Mayan temples and palaces. As you will discover from the guide while browsing the site, there are still many unanswered questions about why the Maya abandoned Xunantunich. If you climb to the top of El Castillo, the largest and tallest of the pyramids, you will be treated to a panoramic view of the surrounding jungles and valleys. Don’t miss the 3-D friezes carved on the sides of the pyramid.

Tour the Beliken Brewery and see how its uniquely flavored beers are produced. Hear about the brewery’s history and why Queen Elizabeth II knighted one of the founders. Sample a flight of Belikin beers and enjoy Belizean cuisine for lunch.

Settle in for a panoramic drive through downtown Belize City with occasional stops for closer looks at the most captivating attractions. As you travel through the former capital of Belize, enlightening commentary will describe the landmarks, culture and history, which dates to the Maya empire, when the area was an important center for trade. You will likely pass a 19th-century prison that is now the Museum of Belize, the British Colonial-style Supreme Court building and the gracefully tapered Baron Bliss Lighthouse, named for the city’s titled benefactor that is buried there. While pausing at St. John’s Cathedral, be sure to note the masonry work, as the building was constructed in the early 1800s with bricks that had been used as ballast in ships. The Belize Swing Bridge is another unusual structure. Built in England, it is the oldest swing bridge in Central America and one of the few that is manually operated.

Cruise through the lush rainforest in a dugout canoe to experience an extraordinary visit to an Embera Indian village, where time seems to stand still. As you glide down the river, your guide will reveal the rich history and traditions of the Embera, known for their deep connection to the rainforest. Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed by the village chief and have the rare chance to see master artisans at work, crafting beautiful creations using ancient techniques. This unforgettable journey offers a genuine, immersive encounter with a community that has proudly preserved its way of life for centuries.

Ride an aerial tram through the lush rainforest canopy of Soberania National Park, taking in sweeping views of the pristine wilderness below. As you glide above the forest floor, look for wildlife such as sloths, howler monkeys, and tropical birds in their natural habitat. Afterward, climb an observation tower for a 360° view of the endless rainforest. You’ll also have the chance to explore attractions at the Gamboa Rainforest Resort, including an orchid garden, butterfly farm, and serpentarium.

On this shore excursion, you'll witness the impressive engineering of the Agua Clara locks at the Panama Canal. From a viewing platform, you can watch massive ships navigate through the lock system, gaining a deeper understanding of the canal's pivotal role in global trade. The tour then takes you to Porto Belo, once a key hub during the pirate era, where you’ll hear fascinating stories about its history, including its connection to Sir Francis Drake. You’ll have time to explore the town at your own pace, with opportunities for shopping or further sightseeing.

Board a beautifully restored vintage train for a scenic journey across Panama, from the Caribbean to the Pacific Ocean. As you travel through lush rainforest, your guide will share fascinating stories about the railroad’s history, which dates back to the 1850s and was later expanded to service the Panama Canal. Upon arrival at the famous Gatun locks, you’ll get an up-close view of the massive ships passing through this incredible engineering marvel. It’s a unique opportunity to see how the canal has shaped the country’s past and present while enjoying a relaxing ride through stunning landscapes.

Paddle a kayak through the peaceful waters of Gatun Lake, surrounded by lush rainforest teeming with wildlife. As you glide across the lake, keep an eye out for howler monkeys in the trees and Panama’s national bird, the harpy eagle. After your kayaking adventure, you’ll have the option to climb an observation tower for a stunning view of ships navigating the nearby Gatun locks. This excursion offers a rare combination of outdoor adventure and a closer look at the fascinating workings of the Panama Canal.

Settle into a comfortable ferry and enjoy a scenic cruise through key sections of the Panama Canal, one of the world’s most remarkable engineering feats. As you pass through the Gaillard Cut, a gorge once plagued by landslides and extreme heat, you’ll gain a true appreciation for the immense challenges faced during its construction. Along the way, fascinating commentary will bring the canal’s history to life, detailing its beginnings in 1880 and the perseverance that led to its completion. A buffet lunch awaits as you sail toward the final lock that opens into the Pacific Ocean, marking the end of your enlightening journey.

Explore Panama City’s historic Old Town, Casco Antiguo, and delve into its fascinating past. As you tour the 16th-century streets, you’ll hear stories of Captain Henry Morgan’s brutal sacking of the original city in 1671, and how clever priests saved the golden altar of San Jose by disguising it. Along the way, you’ll see engravings that recount the failed 1880s attempt to build the Panama Canal, adding another layer to Panama’s rich history. This tour offers a blend of cultural insights, architectural beauty, and a glimpse into Panama’s storied past.

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. You might observe brightly colorful parrotfish, brilliant angelfish and striped sergeant majors. You may even glimpse an eagle ray gracefully swimming by and burying itself in the sandy bottom. 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. Dzibanche was discovered in the 1920s and named for the Mayan word for “writing on wood” because of the inscribed wooden lintels over some doors. 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.

Drive an ATV through narrow jungle paths into remote areas where the ancient Mayas lived thousands of years ago. Following a brief orientation on how to operate the ATV and best maximize the experience, you will take the wheel of a single-person 250cc all-terrain vehicle and ride off. Before long, you will be zipping through dense tropical foliage, following dirt trails and maybe even making your own trails off road. It will be an exhilarating, adrenaline-pumping experience every second that you are behind the wheel. On occasion, you will pause to take in the jungle scenery and observe the wildlife that may be present. Tropical birds and iguanas are abundant in this part of the jungle. For a historical perspective, you will stop at the Mayan planting area and a base camp for workers that extract gum from trees.

Gain insight into the history and culture of Cozumel and then shop downtown with a guide that will recommend the best places to find the merchandise you want. To become familiar with the region, you will first visit the Discover Mexico park, where you will see impressive scale models of the most significant buildings and pyramids. For a glimpse of Cozumel’s natural beauty, you will stop at El Mirador, where the pounding surf has carved arches in the jagged limestone. Tequila is just as iconic, and you will see how it is produced at a nearby hacienda, after which you will sample several distinctive types of tequila. Back in Cozumel, you will have a choice between two pleasurable options. You can tour a historical museum and then shop on your own, or forgo the museum and spend the entire time shopping.

Take the helm of a speedboat and zip across the Caribbean Sea before finally anchoring in shallow waters to snorkel. Few experiences offer such an adrenaline rush, whether you are the boat’s captain or the passenger. A brief orientation at Barracuda Beach will prepare you to maximize the time onboard, after which you will speed off into the turquoise seas. Feel free to cut through the water at full throttle, leaving nothing but high-flying rooster tails in your wake. In time, you will pull into an area that is ideal for snorkeling and observe the wonders underwater. Or if you prefer, spend the entire time swimming, as the sea will be immensely refreshing. Another high-speed boat ride will bring you back to Barracuda Beach for a hearty lunch and to enjoy free time relaxing on this idyllic stretch of sand.

Roar down the island’s back roads in an ATV, eventually stopping at a secluded ecological reserve to snorkel. Your vehicle will be a Polaris RZR 800, a 4-seat dune buggy that makes the ride an absolute blast. As you race along the jungle roads and sandy paths, you may well see saltwater crocodiles and iguanas lazing in the sun and huge flocks of flamingos. In time, you will pause for photos at Celarain Lighthouse, which looms over the rocky shoreline. The views from the top of this whitewashed beacon are inspiring, as is its marine navigation museum. Nearby lie the ruins of El Caracol, a lighthouse the Mayas may have built 700 years ago. Still, it is the beach at Punta Sur Park that will leave the most lasting impression. It is absolutely gorgeous as you will discover during the two hours or so that you spend here.

Prepare classic Mexican dishes for your lunch in a hands-on cooking class and then relax at a water park on the beach. All the fun will take place at Playa Mia Grand Beach Park, starting with the preparation of a three-course Mexican meal. The exact dishes will depend on the season, but the chef typically guides the class in making an appetizer of deviled shrimp with chipotle sauce, fresh fish with sautéed vegetables for the main course, and a delectable dessert of caramelized plantains with chocolate and tequila sauce. You will then dine on your concoctions in the park’s seaside dining room. Free time at the beach follows, during which you might lazily bask in the sun, swim in the turquoise sea and enjoy the water park amenities. The Twin Twisters water slides and Oasis Hydro Massage Tub are favorites.

Swim with bottlenose dolphins in a lagoon and then participate in a variety of fun-filled water activities. The adventure begins with a brief orientation, during which you will learn about dolphin behavior and what to expect while interacting with these curious highly intelligent mammals. You will then ease into the lagoon wearing snorkeling gear, so you can easily watch the dolphins above and below the water’s surface. The highlight will be holding onto a dolphin’s fin as it effortlessly zips through the water, carrying you across the lagoon. A hearty lunch follows, after which you might snorkel in the facility’s Serenity Cove. The waters are teeming with marine life that include brightly colored tropical fish and manta rays. As alternatives, you may kayak and paddleboard just offshore in the sparkling Caribbean Sea.

Gain a greater understanding of the Mayan culture at the Mayan Cacao Company, where you will learn how the ancient Maya made chocolate from the cacao tree. The Mayas drank chocolate for ceremonial and medicinal purposes as far back as 500 B.C. They also used cacao as currency and used chocolate in their cuisine. You will sample a local version of the sweet treat along with some traditional handmade tortillas. While touring the grounds, you will see flourishing cacao trees, a typical Mayan residence and a botanical garden of indigenous plants. Following your immersion into the Mayan lifestyle and traditions, you will settle in for a panoramic drive around Cozumel. Much of the route will follow the beautiful coastline, which is rocky in certain areas and rimmed by great stretches of sugar-white beaches elsewhere. In time, you will pause for photos at El Mirador, a spectacular seaside lookout.

See South Florida from two different perspectives: zipping through the Everglades in an airboat and then cruising past the luxurious homes on Miami’s Biscayne Bay. It won’t take long to reach the Everglades, one of the world’s most unique ecosystems. At Safari Park, you will hop aboard an airboat for a thrilling ride through the wilderness that the Seminole Indians call “pahay okee,” which means “grassy water.” The Everglades supports thousands of animal species, and alligators, egrets, iguanas and turtles are frequently spotted. You will then drive to Miami for a traditional Cuban lunch before heading to nearby Biscayne Bay, where you will enjoy a relaxing cruise. Besides passing the Port of Miami, you will see mansion after mansion along the shores of Palm Island, Hibiscus Island and Star Island. While cruising, the captain will elaborate on the history of Miami and point out homes of the rich and famous.

Race through the Everglades on an airboat, hands-down the most thrilling way to observe this amazing ecosystem and its exceptional wildlife. After hopping aboard the airboat, which is specially designed with a flat bottom to skim across the shallow water, you will tear off on a thrilling ride through the immense watery wilderness. You will pass sawgrass prairies, cypress-dotted swamps and hardwood forests, all of which make up the Everglades National Park, which was established in 1947.
