What better way to have fun in Belize under the bright, beautiful sun then by SUP? Stand up paddling (SUP) is easy and it feels great spending time floating on the water, soaking up the suns rich vitamin D and exploring the reef underneath. Some love the benefits of getting that sun kissed glow on their skin, others crave the low impact exercise, almost everyone simply enjoys the experience. At ou

Chuck and Kelly Cray joined us on the island last April with their 2 daughters ages 7 and 10. I was there at the time, and it was a really great week.

For fantastic birding and a trip back in time to a simpler era, plan a trip to Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary and Crooked Tree Village.

If you are planning to visit Belize, likely you have around 8 or 9 days to spend on your vacation. Most people like to do a combination of island and inland.

Our island packages to Long Caye are some
