Belize Kayaking
Blue Water Paradise: Mayan Ruins, Jungle Waterways, and Coral Reefs
Trip Overview
- Easy Tropical Sea Kayaking, Easy Day Hikes, Snorkeling
- 1 Night Hotel, 6 Nights on Catamaran
- Plus 1 Day to and from Your Home
Belize is a kayaker’s tropical wonderland of turquoise blues, emerald greens and coral whites. Two of nature’s most productive and diverse habitats — the magical tropical rain forest and abundant coral reef — are waiting to reveal their interconnected wonders to those who choose to adventure with us on our sporty catamaran, the M/S Legacy.
During our stay we’ll listen to the pulsing sounds of the rainforest overhead as our kayaks glide through secluded channels and lagoons. Out on the cayes we island hop, walk pristine coral beaches and snorkel through an endless underwater garden of colorful sponges and tropical fish. Come meet a gentle manatee at her favorite underwater hideout or help spot a keel-billed toucan in the jungle canopy!
What better way to visit than to kayak the barrier reef, which runs the entire length of Belize’s 185-mile coastline? As the largest reef in both the Western and Northern Hemispheres, it is second only to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. We will visit a variety of spots, as the area inside the northern reef has a flatter bottom of grassy beds and patch reef, while the structure in the south takes on more relief with natural pinnacles, tiny atolls and sink holes. We’ll also have adventures into the jungle to paddle secluded tropical lagoons.
A treasure trove of Mayan archeological sites stretch the breadth of the country, giving us a great excuse to go hiking. And speaking of treasure: the intricate reefs and cayes (pronounced keys) that make for such great snorkeling and sea kayaking were once the ideal hideout for the real pirates of the Caribbean including Blackbeard himself.
We’re very excited to offer this destination again this season. Belize is such a dynamic country to visit that this adventure will become a “not to be missed” Explorers’ Corner classic.
