Tour Overview
Paradise Islands is a classic kayaking and snorkelling journey between island lodges on Belize’s renowned Barrier Reef. Discover this pristine, protected area as you paddle, snorkel, kayak sail and Stand-Up Paddle board through the turquoise waters and sheltered lagoons of South Water Caye Marine Reserve. After dusk, your time will be spent in small, family style island lodges. You will have the opportunity to enjoy fresh Belizean fare, a comfortable bed and shower, and breathtaking sunsets from the hammock on your deck. This itinerary also includes an inland overnight adventure to the Tropical Education Centre and an optional specially-arranged night tour of the Belize Zoo.

For diving enthusiasts or those who’d like to try diving for a first time, we can arrange Discover Scuba courses or diving sessions with advance notice. As you explore by kayak, it is not uncommon for the routes to cross those of the fishermen who make their living from the sea.
