Activities for 9 Day Beach, Private Island & Jungle – Naia/Ray Caye/Gaia.
Spa - Naia
Spread over six acres of serene forest and lagoon, our spa incorporates five over-the-water individual treatment suites plus a couple’s private island suite, a fully equipped Fitness Center and a beautifully designed Yoga and Movement Studio. Other offerings include a beauty room for manicure and pedicure, a salt water pool, and our Spa Reception where you can find all your favorite spa products including our own signature Naia line of products. To further enhance your visit, we have created Reflections, our waterside Spa Café, offering healthy light bites and freshly made juices and smoothies.
Scuba Diving - Naia/Ray Caye
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.
Snorkeling - Naia/Ray Caye
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.
Fishing - Naia/Ray Caye
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.
Paddle Boarding - Ray Caye
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.
Zip Lining - Gaia
Bocawina Adventures boasts the longest zip-line in Belize and is the hotspot for waterfall rappelling. We offer day or night zip-lining with 12 platforms, and one of the longest zip-line runs is 2,300 feet long!
Spa - Gaia
The Spa relaxes those who’ve spent a full day touring and activities. All treatments use locally-sourced organic ingredients.
Horseback Riding - Gaia
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.
Cave Tubing - Gaia
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.
Guided Mountain Biking - Gaia
There’s no better way to explore the diverse ecosystems of the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve than a bike tour. Guided bike trips will take you on scenic routes and trails around the Reserve. Check with the Concierge to discuss departure times, difficulty, terrain, and desired length of trip.
Maya Ruins - Gaia
You'll have your choice to see a number of different Maya ruins dating back to 250 AD.
