7 Belize Adventures Your Itinerary Must Include

How much adventure does it take to satisfy you? If you’re like most curious travelers, the phrase “Bring it on!” has a familiar ring, especially if you intend to make Belize your next holiday destination. Because Belize is easily navigable, you can cram more adventures into your itinerary, so make sure these 7 are on your list since they represent experiences for which Belize is best known.

1. Chat up skeletons. Whether you intend to walk, wade, or repel into one of many caves along the Belize coast, finding the skeletal remains of Maya sacrificial victims may be one of the most fascinating experiences of all. You needn’t worry about introductions: Sojourn at Chabil Mar Resort on the Placencia peninsula and guides will accompany you to some of the most intriguing caves in the nation.

2. Mask up. The Belize Barrier Reef has no equal in the Western Hemisphere. Nothing compares to donning a snorkel and mask and slowly making your way along the reef where coral gardens, sponges, colorful fish, sea turtles, and subterranean plant life thrill and amaze.

3. Dive deeper. It’s the ultimate thrill: the 1,050-foot-wide, 407-foot-deep Great Blue Hole that attracts amateurs and pros alike. This dive is an arduous experience that gets more fascinating as one descends. Book this adventure through the concierge at Chabil Mar if you dare and everything about this excursion will be taken care of.

4. Meet the ancestors. There are 900 Maya sites in Belize and staying at Chabil Mar Resort on Placencia gives you access to lots of them. From huge cities sprawling across thousands of acres to smaller above-ground sites, a warning comes with this pursuit: It’s easy to get hooked! Knowledgeable guides with tales to tell make every stop a new adventure.

5. Immerse yourself in Garifuna culture. The Garífuna migrated from the Caribbean Island of St Vincent and established a deep presence that includes unique music, food, arts, and traditions in southern Belize. This cultural experience will prove to be the most colorful adventure of all.

6. Tap Mother Nature’s gifts. It’s impossible not to stand in awe of the majesty you will encounter as you explore the wild side of Belize. Trek teeming jungles. Swim in pools at the foot of a magnificent waterfall. Explore pine forests, rivers, hidden enclaves, and more. Chabil Mar staff is your conduit to these tours and more.

7. Adventurous nightlife. Some consider clubbing the ultimate nocturnal adventure but a trip to the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary where guided tours invite you to track elusive, nocturnal jaguars after dark beats pub crawls every time. Since the park is also home to other “night owls,” you never know what could be peeking out at you.
