Island freedom & reef-bound daysDay 7: Your island escape begins
Fly north to Ambergris Caye and arrive in a world of clear waters and sun-warmed shores.

Spend the afternoon settling in, walking the shoreline, or dipping into the sea before dinner under the stars.
Day 8: Snorkel with gentle giants
Join a guided snorkeling trip to Hol Chan Marine Reserve, where coral gardens stretch beneath the surface and tropical fish swirl around you. At nearby Shark Ray Alley, swim with nurse sharks and stingrays in shallow, crystal-clear water. Return in time to relax at the beach or explore the friendly streets of San Pedro.
Day 9: Chill, paddle, and play
Ease into the day with no set plans. Head out on kayaks or paddleboards for a peaceful glide along the coast, or choose an optional reef adventure or fishing trip. Families can play in the sand, splash in the sea, or enjoy a lazy afternoon with fresh fruit and sea breeze.
