The journey continues south along the scenic Hummingbird Highway with a swim in a limestone sinkhole, followed by two nights on Tobacco Caye, a tiny coral island on the Belize Barrier Reef with opportunities for snorkelling and birdwatching. Finally, the tour heads into the jungle to a biology station for hands-on wildlife observation including bat mist netting before finishing with a few days on Caye Caulker, a relaxed island with coral beaches, seafood and reef excursions.
Despite the occasional early start and basic jungle accommodation, this holiday presents a well-paced blend of nature, culture and wildlife in one of Central America’s least visited corners.
