Northern Itinerary.

Once the first capital of Belize, St George’s Caye whispers stories of old while offering the perfect escape for the present. Known for its calm waters and rich history, this little island is framed by palm-fringed shores and coral reefs teeming with fish. Snorkel straight from the yacht, drop a line for fishing, or simply enjoy the slow rhythm of island life. In the evening, the sky glows pink and gold over the still lagoon – a picture-perfect welcome to Belize.

With its barefoot motto: Go Slow – Caye Caulker is Belize’s bohemian gem. Cycle the sandy lanes, sip rum punch at the Split, or take a tour boat out to Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley, where nurse sharks and stingrays glide effortlessly beside you. Snorkel coral gardens alive with technicolor fish, or kayak to hidden lagoons. As the sun sets, beach bars hum with reggae beats and the smell of grilled lobster fills the air.

Spend a full day diving deeper into the reefs. Explore Coral Gardens, Tuffy Channel, or the famed Hol Chan Reserve. Swim with turtles, rays, and eagle rays in crystalline waters before heading ashore for sunset cocktails. This is Belize at its most vibrant—relaxed, colorful, and utterly enchanting.

Ambergris Caye is Belize’s most famous island, a vibrant blend of luxury and local charm. San Pedro bustles with art galleries, boutiques, and beach bars, while just offshore, the barrier reef promises world-class snorkeling and diving. Rent a golf cart and head north to Secret Beach for spa treatments and powdery sands, or linger in town for fine dining by lantern light.

Declared a wildlife sanctuary, Swallow Caye is best known for its gentle resident manatees. Floating in the seagrass beds, these sea cows can reach up to 13 feet long and weigh over 3,000 pounds. While swimming with them is not allowed, the experience of quietly observing them in their natural habitat is unforgettable.

Postcard-perfect Goff’s Caye is a speck of white sand perched directly on the barrier reef. Snorkel straight off the beach into kaleidoscopic coral gardens, or laze on the shallow sandbar with a Belikin beer in hand. With dolphins often spotted nearby, it’s easy to see why this little acre of paradise is one of Belize’s favorite jewels.

Return to the marina and savor your final evening in Belize. Dine on fresh seafood, wander along the dockside promenade, or simply toast to a week of turquoise seas, reef adventures, and unforgettable island memories.
