Southern Itinerary.

Fringed with palms and paradise sights, Goff’s Caye is a tiny island paradise in beautiful Belize. This is one of the few beach spots in Belize to boast floury sands and shallow clear blue waters, making it an idyllic stop for snorkelling or simply lounging on the sandbar. Dolphins often frequent the surrounding waters and eagle rays glide gracefully beneath anchored yachts. With no restaurants or shops here, it’s the perfect spot to drop anchor, spread out a picnic, and ease into Belizean island life.

A secluded cluster of mangrove islets, Bluefield Range is a haven for wildlife and one of the best kayaking spots in the region. Glide through winding channels where manatees surface quietly and seabirds wheel overhead. Cast a line to see if you can catch dinner, or simply drift in the calm turquoise waters that define this off-the-grid hideaway.

Set directly on the barrier reef, South Water Caye is a pristine slice of paradise. Known for its palm-dotted sands and protected marine reserve, it’s one of Belize’s most idyllic snorkelling and diving destinations. Schools of groupers, snappers, and moray eels fill the reef ledges, while pelicans and frigates circle overhead. As the sun slips into the horizon, the tiny Blue Marlin Lodge offers one of the most atmospheric sundowner spots in the entire country.

Known locally as Bird Island, Man-o-War Cay is a designated bird sanctuary alive with activity. Magnificent frigates inflate their scarlet pouches during breeding season, pelicans dive headfirst into the shallows, and brown boobies line the mangroves. This unassuming island becomes a spectacular theatre of wings and sound, offering an incredible chance to experience Belize’s birdlife up close.

This palm-fringed coral islet sits right on the barrier reef, giving direct access to some of Belize’s best snorkelling sites. The island itself is tiny—just five acres—but home to a small fishing community and a handful of laid-back cabanas. Hammocks swing between palms, and the beach bar serves fresh coconut water and icy rum cocktails. With only 39 residents, Tobacco Caye is as authentic as it is idyllic, offering a chance to learn about true island life.

An exclusive private-island retreat, Thatch Cay combines eco-sustainability with barefoot luxury. Overwater bungalows and shaded hammocks overlook the reef, while paddleboards, kayaks, and snorkel gear invite endless exploration of the surrounding turquoise waters. The island vibe is relaxed yet social… perfect for unwinding with a cocktail under the stars after a day of diving or yoga.

Colson Cay is a peaceful four-acre island wrapped in mangroves and washed in stunning sunset light. With calm anchorage and a simple, off-grid atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to kayak quiet channels, snorkel shallow reefs, or simply enjoy a night under Belize’s starlit sky. A restorative final stop before returning to base.

Return to Cucumber Beach Marina and savor your last moments on board. With lush surroundings, marina amenities, and easy access to Belize City, it’s the perfect close to a week of reef, relaxation, and discovery.
