This year, we've put together two different kinds of summer specials - some "traditional" summer vacation  packages (if you can call anything about Belize "traditional"), and also a "mix and match" package that lets you select your preferred jungle and beach lodgings (subject to availability, of course). 

Also, remember that one of our specialties is putting together custom vacations with our clients, so nothing is written in stone - let us know what you want and we'll do our best to come up with a special vacation - just for you. 

And, don't forget to check our other specials and packages:

bullet

Fishing for fishing-only trip ideas

bullet

Honeymoons (great for anniversaries, too)

bullet

Sailing (wind, sun, sea and some jungle, too)

Contact us for more information about any of our specials or packages, or for a custom designed Belize vacation.

Our Jungle Sands package starts with three (3) nights at Pook's Hill, a small lodge deep in the jungle in western Belize.

Lodging is in thatched jungle cabanas with comfortable beds, private bath (with plenty of hot water generated by burning cohune nuts from the surrounding bush) and electricity.

Good food served family style, very gracious hosts, a small Mayan ruin under excavation just outside the cabanas, and a wide range of activities, including ATM cave (within hiking distance), jungle horseback riding, cave tubing, Mayan ruins (including Tikal), canoeing on the Macal River, jungle hikes, birding (the birding is wonderful at Pook's), waterfall tours and tubing on the Roaring Creek River.

 

Jungle adventure at Pook's Hill is followed by four nights of luxury at Chabil Mar Villas on the Placencia Peninsula in southern Belize. 

Each villa at Chabil Mar is beautifully furnished and includes a private oceanfront or oceanview verandah, air conditioning, living/dining area, full kitchen, cable television, private bath (one per bedroom), ceiling fans and daily maid service.

Best of all, Chabil Mar is only a 10-minute walk on the beach from Placencia Village with all its local restaurants, beach bars, shops and other services, and only 5 minutes from Francis Ford Coppola's Turtle Inn.

The best of both worlds - privacy and luxury coupled with an opportunity to be a part of a real Belizean community and to learn first-hand about Belize's rich Creole culture and history from those who know it best.
