Your Caribbean paradise awaits.

We can assist you with your domestic (Belize) travel and tours/excursions. We can arrange for your ground transportation from the international airport in Belize City (BZE) to the water taxi terminal or book your flight from BZE to San Pedro. Golf carts are the main mode of transportation on Ambergris Caye/San Pedro and are perfect for exploring the island. We can make a golf cart reservation for you, so your cart is waiting for you upon arrival.

Activities on Ambergris Caye/San Pedro are water-related, as Belize has the second-largest barrier reef in the world. There are snorkel and scuba diving trips just a short boat ride from shore. Flats fly fishing, reef fishing, or deep-sea fishing can be booked for half- or full-day trips. You can rent jet skis, kite boards, and windsurfers by the hour. You can go parasailing or even book a helicopter tour. If you want to spend a relaxing day on the water aboard a catamaran or sailboat, we are happy to coordinate. There's even a casino on the island if you're feeling lucky! We can also schedule on-site services such as massage and a private chef.

If you want a different type of adventure, you may want to visit the mainland and be welcomed by the jungle! We can help coordinate transportation to the mainland from Ambergris Caye/San Pedro and a whole list of activities: Belize Zoo, ancient Mayan sites, cave tubing, zip lining, baboon sanctuary, hiking, rappelling, waterfalls, horseback riding, pontoon boating, and butterfly farms.
