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.

Rent us bikes for the week. 

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.

Our resort does not have a restaurant, so help us stock our fridge!

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.

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.

We will start our day with a Caribbean style breakfast served directly to our room. We will dine in bed or on the fabulous patio in our luxury townhome.
