Activities for 9 Day Beach, Private Island & Jungle – Jaguar Reef/Ray Caye/Sleeping Giant.
Relax, recenter, and rejuvenate with the spa services offered at The Belize Collection resorts. At The Belize Collection, we believe you come first. Give yourself the gift of self-care by booking our spa services. Whether your massage is lagoonside, in the rainforest, or on the beach, you’re in good hands.
The Belize’s barrier reef, the second-longest in the world loves to show off its finery year-round. Awe-inspiring corals sprawl across reef surfaces, and since the government and environmental groups are protective of the 180-mile-long reef system, you could meet more than 25 species of fish when you dive.
Ray Caye Resort is not just breathtakingly beautiful, but guests find snorkeling paradise literally steps from their lush accommodations. Located so close to the nearby Gladden Spit, considered the epicenter of snorkeling heaven, it takes just minutes to get there.
Set off on a boat. Stand on the Ray Caye pier. It matters not where you position yourself because fish are everywhere, and while the name of the game is “catch and release” on the island, you can enjoy your fill of excitement by taking tours that deliver you to Belize’s Great Barrier Reef or flats for a variety of fishing excursions that test your mettle and give you bragging rights you’ll never find back home.
For paddle board enthusiasts and wannabes, absolutely nothing surpasses the feeling of taking control of a simple board to explore the environs of Ray Caye. Staff is happy to provide one or more, if you like boarding with a buddy, so don’t hesitate to request one during your stay.
Glide 1,750 feet above the canopy of the Belizean rainforest and take in a 360 view of the lush greenery beneath. Don’t blink as you might miss the moment, zooming between the Maya Mountains surrounding you. River below, sky above and forest in between, this adrenaline-rushed adventure is unmatchable.
Located in the Cayo District, the archaeological site Xunantunich is an excellent tour for all ages. Xunantunich, which translates to “Maiden of the Rock”, is best known for El Castillo, the second- highest structure in Belize. This site consists of six major Mayan plazas and 25 temples. Highlights include stelae carved into the facade of the Mayan temples and amazing views for those adventurous enough to scale to the top.
The Ceremonial Cave is an intense adventure that starts with a hike and leads you to the underworld of the ancient Maya. Located behind the Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant, the cave is reserved exclusively for guests of The Belize Collection. You’ll get an intimate look into the past lives of the Maya civilization through the pottery, tools, and even skeletal remains left behind by the Maya who used the cave for religious ceremonies. The cave is a haven of geological finds, filled with stalactites, stalagmites, and crystal curtains formed thousands of years ago. Enter the cave believed to be the portal to the underworld for a life-changing experience.
Explore the trails with your newest companion who’s rearing and ready to go. Horseback riding is excellent for riders of all ages and experience levels. Let your guide know what you’re comfortable with, and he’ll be sure to teach you how to have a steady and safe ride. Your horse is already familiar with the jungle trails that she’ll take you through so just hold tight and look forward to the ride. You’ll cross two creeks so your horse can stop and take a drink and enter a clearing where you can walk, trot, or canter – whatever your preference may be.
This tour begins with a 10-minute drive up the scenic Hummingbird Highway to the Blue Hole National Park. Your guide will lead you through a 10-minute hike through the jungle to the entrance of St. Herman’s Cave. Enter the exciting world of rivers disappearing into the underworld as you float on inner tubes with only your headlamp to light your way. Enjoy floating past side windows that filter the jungle light through the mist as you swirl around stalagmites jutting from the river and stalactites looming from above.
We know, we hate waiting too, but just hang tight for a moment as we pull some amazing info for you.
