Hol Chan means little channel in Mayan and is a natural break on the barrier reef where ocean depth ranges from three to thirty feet. Here we will enjoy seeing the breathtaking myriad of marine life and huge coral garden, among which are flourishing stag horn corals and sea fans. Shark Ray Alley is a shallow water snorkel where we will enjoy swimming with the harmless nurse sharks and southern stingrays. This sanctuary was officially established in 1987 and since then the return of all species of fish has been quite dramatic. Due to its protected status, what was once a depleted fishing area has now been allowed to re-generate, producing a quite colorful fish spectacle.

The day begins as we make our way to the mainland and up the Old Belize River. While passing through, we will encounter numerous amounts of wildlife including crocodiles, manatees, iguanas, and monkeys while having a continental breakfast. After cruising through the river, we will then board a van that will take us to the spectacular Belize Zoo. Home to an impressive array of large cats, primates, reptiles, and birds, this habitat gives us the opportunity of viewing the prolific wildlife of Belize in one location. Then we will head to Jaguar Paw Resort where lunch will be served. After lunch our guide will gear us up with all appropriate equipment including headlights and tubes for the caves. We will start our first forty-five minute jungle trail to the Caves Branch River and its winding path through the Mayan mountains and numerous ancient caves once inhabited by the Mayan people. We will be transported back in time as we float down this river! Our guide will point out various plants, roots, and herbs once used by the ancient civilization.

With your wonderful gift we'll spend a night on the town, dance, laugh, and let loose wherever we desire.

There is nothing like a relaxing horseback ride taking in the beautiful scenery of our surroundings.

This jungle adventure is an hour of excitement as we discover the Belizean tropical forest from on the top of our horses. In the high canopy of intertwining branches, we will see Black Howler Monkeys, iguanas lazily sunning themselves or even native species of colorful, tropical birds. Flora and fauna of all different colors surround us as we make our way through the hanging vines and palm trees. The trail continues to wind through the Royal Palms as nesting parrots call out in the forest and streaks of sunlight illuminate through the canopy light our way.

A transfer from Belize City on the very scenic Western Highway brings us to the Caves Branch River at Jaguar Paw Resort. We will travel through its winding path to the Mayan mountains and numerous ancient caves once inhabited by the Mayan people. Upon arrival, we will start the day with the Zip Line Tour. Aerial Trek Canopy Tour offers the exhilarating experience of soaring through the jungle, right above the broadleaf forest floor. This involves traversing from one platform to another along a steel cable suspended up to eighty feet above the ground. Once completed with this part of the tour lunch is served. Next, we will hike for forty-five minutes down a jungle trail to the entrance tunnel that heads into the underground cave system. Our guide hands out flashlights and we are ready to float in an inner tube as the gentle current helps us make our way through the cave system.

Encountering the dolphins is a once in a lifetime experience that showcases these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat of Belize. We will be amazed as our trainer motivates us with his speech on conversation and takes us through an exhilarating experience as we come into direct contact with them. We cannot pass on this exciting opportunity!

With your thoughtful gift we'll pound the sea, grab some air, ride a wave, get a thrill and have a blast.

We'll have a drink or two on you at the local bar or at our favorite saloon. Cheers!

We will join one of the trained staff members for a lagoon kayak tour behind the property. It is common to catch a glimpse of crocodiles, juvenile fish populations, and a variety of rare birds prevalent in Belize. The canopied canal ways leading from lagoon to lagoon display a variety of orchids, termite nests and a host of other interesting sights.

This is the Highway to Tower Hill. Here, we will once again board another boat that will take us down the winding New River Lagoon for forty-five minutes where Belizean wildlife at its best comes alive. We will encounter the many species of birds, monkeys, crocodiles, interesting plant life, and culture as we pass the Amish and Mestizo communities along the way. Once at Lamanai, lunch is served along with sodas, beers, and rum punch. Lamanai, also translated to submerged crocodile, is dated a pre-classic structure in the Mundo Maya. This is the only Maya site in Belize that has its own private museum, where all the artifacts found by the archaeologist, Pendergast and his team, are kept. Our experienced tour guide also provides a detailed and informative briefing on all of the artifacts. The tour covers approximately five to eight of the Lamanai Maya Temples. While touring this site, huge masks depicting dead rulers and gods seem to materialize out of the rainforest amid the chatter of bird life and the haunting call of the Howler monkeys. Our guide will point out the Copal and Raman trees, which were of great importance in ancient times. After a completely once in a lifetime experience, a leisurely journey back will retire our day.

We will sail high above the sea and get a bird's eye view of San Pedro. Due to variable underwater terrain, this trip will take off from the Fido's dock in San Pedro. Nerve racking excitement is included as we glide through the skies and enjoy the incredible views.

We will sail aboard a Catamaran to Caye Caulker, snorkel the sites with the most prolific fish life on the reef, Hol Chan Reserve and Shark Ray Alley. We will enjoy lunch and a stroll through the lobster fishing village of Caye Caulker. Rum punch, beer and soft drinks are included. We will bring snorkel gear, lunch money and the Hol Chan park entrance fee. We will enjoy a full day of snorkeling. We will start off by swimming at the coral gardens, a spectacular view where one can be amazed by the coral formations and the colorful inhabitants that have made it their home. Continuing onto the Caye Caulker Cut, we will witness another incredible spectacle of color formed by the variety of fish living in the barrier reef. For lunch, we will move over to the neighboring island of Cay Caulker for a small visit to the village. The final stop is at the aquarium for a swim with the friendly sharks and stingrays, but this is not all. We will also get the chance to visit some lively Northern sea horses.

We are so excited to go snorkeling on our honeymoon, floating through the cool blue water as we swim eye to eye with exotic marine life. Paradise found!

Leaving from Las Terrazas' private dock, we will sail south towards Hol Chan where we will sit back, relax and watch the sun set on the Caribbean. While on the cruise, we'll enjoy some of Belize's best Belikin beers or rum punch and listen to some uplifting Caribbean music. The Sunset Cruise includes beer, sodas, rum punch and snacks.

We will rent a two-seated wave runner and blast up and down the waterfront with the feeling of complete freedom! We will experience a different and unique perspective of the coast of Ambergris Caye.

After traveling back to the mainland, we will view rolling hills, winding rivers, and the ancient land of the Maya civilization. This tour helps to enhance our understanding of the Maya culture while enjoying the rich history of the center. Xunantunich is located across from San Jose Succotz and is a few miles from the western border. The partially excavated and largest pyramid, El Castillo, rises one hundred thirty feet above the main plaza and offers impressive panoramic views of Belize's Cayo District and nearby Guatemala.
