Quick Itinerary
Wildlife & Wonders 15-Day Itinerary
Days 1 - 3 UK - Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary
You will depart the UK on your international flight to Belize, with a stop-over included in the US.
Arriving in Belize you'll have a transfer to Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary, a lush expanse that encompasses over 3,000 acres of lagoons, swamps, and marshlands, providing a thriving habitat for wildlife.
Embark on a boat tour through winding waterways and keep your eyes peeled for crocodiles basking in the sun, graceful iguanas perched on overhanging branches, and turtles lazily paddling through the waters. You might even catch a glimpse of the majestic jabiru stork, with its awe-inspiring wingspan.
Days 4 - 6 Lamanai
Today you’ll transfer to the rustic Lamanai Outpost Lodge, located on the banks of a remote lagoon close to the remains of the ancient Mayan city of Lamanai. You’ll have time to explore the beautiful natural setting with a selection of activities included in your stay, from nature walks, sunset cruise, Lamanai ruins and more.
Days 7 - 9 San Ignacio
Next you’ll head to Black Rock Lodge near San Ignacio, with a stop en-route at Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Centre to learn about the injured, orphaned and rehabilitated indigenous species being cared for there.
Over the next few days in the Cayo District explore the archaeological wonder of Xunantunich, an atmospheric (and supposedly haunted) ancient Maya ceremonial site. You’ll also discover the caves at Barton Creek, once used for Mayan ceremonial purposes, on a canoeing tour.
For those wishing to visit Cockscomb Wildlife Sanctuary we can tailor this or any tour to include it.
Days 10 - 13 Ambergris Caye
Today you’ll transfer to Belize City airport for a short flight to Ambergris Caye, where the Barrier Reef is a mere quarter-mile from the shore, providing effortless access to the wonders beneath the water. On a snorkelling tour you’ll discover the coral garden and sea creatures at Hol Chan Marine reserve and the harmless nurse sharks and graceful southern stingrays at Shark Ray Alley.
Days 14 - 15 Ambergris Caye - UK
On Day 14 you’ll fly from San Pedro to Belize City and connect with your onward International flights to the UK.
