Belize Ultimate Wildlife 8 Day
* 4 person minimum, or go on your own (2 person minimum) for $450 additional
Highlights
Located just south of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Belize boasts the
second largest barrier reef in the world. The first 4 days of our Belize Ultimate Wildlife eco-tour focuses on this exquisite maze of coral
reefs set in clear turquoise waters. The highlight of this segment is a visit to
Lighthouse Reef Atoll to visit the Blue Hole made famous by a Jacques
Cousteau. The last 4 days of your adventure take you deep into the jungle to visit the howler monkeys at the Community Baboon Sanctuary and the Mayan Ruins at Lamanai. We'll end by boating out to Swallow Caye, a nursery for manatees. A final thrill is to snorkel the nearby islands frequented by dolphins.
Wild Planet Adventures has formed an exclusive
partnership with the Oceanic Society to give you access to the Oceanic
Society’s field station on remote Blackbird Caye. This quiet tropical
island paradise on the eastern side of Truneffe Atoll normally caters
to scientists and researchers, and allows Wild Planet unparalleled
access to Half Moon Caye National Monument, Lighthouse Reef, and Blue
Hole.
Our location on Blackbird Caye gives you a distinctive
advantage over nearly all other Belize tours which are based out of
Ambergris Caye, Caye Calker, or Placencia, which are heavily populated
commercial centers located much farther from Half Moon Caye, Lighthouse
Reef and the Blue Hole. A special Oceanic Society marine biologist
guide will guide the coral reef snorkeling.
This expedition is one of the best ways for non-divers to
discover Belize’s spectacular coral reef systems.
