Sea Kayaking Tours

Belize kayaking trips have grown in popularity since our simple beginnings in 1986, when we were the first sea kayak outfitter in the county. The environment is perfect for these small, individual craft, whether it is for a self-supported, extended sea kayak trip or for day excursions out of a private island.

The shallow waters inside the Belize Barrier Reef are usually quiet and contain no strong tidal currents, and the swells of the open sea are stopped by the long reef offshore. The remote, offshore atolls also have excellent kayaking opportunities. The atolls of Belize: Glover’s Reef, Lighthouse Reef, and Turneffe Islands. All Belizean waters are clear and warm (80 degrees), just like the rest of the surrounding Caribbean Sea.

The tides in Belize are small, and there are few currents to speak of, so Belize is a great place to learn kayaking.
