    Belize City, Belize
    • Belize City, Belize
    • Depart: 19:00:00
    Belize City is the former capital and the country's largest town. Located on the Caribbean Sea, this lively little town symbolises the fusion of British, Spanish, and Maya cultures. The departure point for flights over the Great Blue Hole and the barrier reef, it's also the ideal gateway for discovering the treasures of Maya architecture: in the heart of the jungle, the grandiose and mysterious ruins of temples and palaces at the Lamanai and Xunantunich sites await you. Another unmissable experience: a trip to the mouth of the Belize River: with a little luck and care, you'll get a glimpse of manatees, dolphins, crocodiles, iguanas, and many aquatic bird species. ...

Between coral reef and green jungle, the park unveils a succession of white sandy coves along its coastline giving onto crystal-clear waters in a marvellous palette of blues. Inland, the tropical forest unfurls, a real reserve for wildlife that you will be able to explore in a Zodiac dinghy between mangroves, lagoons, and rivers. ...

    Guanaja, Honduras
    • Guanaja, Honduras
    The island of Guanaja is a little-known paradise, one of real treasures of Honduras, and will reveal itself to you between lush vegetation, idyllic deserted beaches, and unique encounters with the local population of Bonacca (also known as The Cay). Off the coast, the wildest and most remote of the Bay Islands rolls out its coral reefs, which attract diving enthusiasts from around the world. This jewel of the Caribbean Sea also shelters mangroves whose secrets you will attempt to discover as you explore during a Zodiac outing. Then, during hikes, accompanied by our team of naturalist-guides, you will enter the heart of a rainforest dotted with majestic waterfalls and home to many bird species, like macaws. Here, locals will welcome you and share their traditions with you on the small key of Bonacca (also known as The Cay). Do not miss this exceptional encounter! ...

    • Cayos Cochinos, Honduras
    Lying northeast of La Ceiba, the Bay Islands are home to nature's treasures that float on a palette of turquoise, dark, or celadon blues.

Situated on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System in a marine reserve created in 1994, its underwater scenery features coral gardens in which multitudes of tropical fish scatter and provide you with a feast for the eyes. In this idyllic setting, you will infinitely enjoy swimming while other water-based activities will offer a delightful interlude in the heart of exceptional nature. ...

    • Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge, Honduras
    In the heart of the Central American isthmus, Honduras is a little-known paradise boasting rich biodiversity, as evidenced by the Cuero y Salado National Park, a refuge for wildlife created in 1987. This magnificent reserve, located on the estuaries of the Cuero, Salado, and San Juan rivers, will provide you with fantastic opportunities for observing fauna and the plant kingdom. In a boat going along the mangroves, accompanied by the song of birds answering each other, you will not tire of observing the bright plumage livening up the thick green forest with bursts of color. As you watch the monkeys dancing from branch to branch, you will not know which way to turn. And if you are lucky, turtles and caimans will also make an appearance. ...

Lying in the south of Belize, in the Stann Creek District, this former fishing village exudes an Afro-Caribbean atmosphere in an unspoiled paradise combining brightly-colored traditional houses and enchanting scenery. A veritable nature sanctuary both on land and at sea, Placencia has become an increasingly popular eco-destination in the Caribbean, particularly with diving and marine life enthusiasts. Its stunning lagoon is home to manatees, saltwater crocodiles, and dolphins, among others, as well as numerous species of tropical fish.

    Half Moon Caye, Belize
    • Half Moon Caye, Belize
    The tropical green crescent of Half Moon Caye is a natural monument of Belize stretching out over crystal-clear waters. The appeal of the oldest protected marine and ornithological area in Central America stems from its beaches lined with coconut trees, but most importantly from its incredible underwater world, which you will be able to explore with fins, mask, and snorkel. Corals, sponges, sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, eels, and groupers live in the turquoise waters, while on land the coastal forest is home to amusing geckos and a large colony of red-footed boobies, spectacular divers that penetrate the water at high speed to feed on small fish and squid. ...
