How to Plan a Belize Beach and Jungle Vacation

Can You Combine a Beach and Jungle Vacation in Belize?

Yes. One of the best things about vacationing in Belize is that you do not have to choose between relaxing on the Caribbean coast and exploring the country’s jungles, caves, waterfalls, and Maya sites.

From Belizean Dreams Resort  in Hopkins, you can spend one day snorkeling along the Belize Barrier Reef and the next hiking to a waterfall, cave tubing, zip-lining through the jungle, or visiting Xunantunich. Between adventures, there is still plenty of time to relax on the beach, enjoy the pool, or explore the culture and laid-back charm of Hopkins Village.

This combination makes Belize especially appealing for families and groups whose members have different ideas about the perfect vacation. Some can fill their days with outdoor adventures, while others slow down and enjoy the beach. Everyone can return to the same comfortable beachfront home base at the end of the day.

Recommended Adventures
Because Belize is known for eclectic opportunities to learn, relax, and have fun—and because the nation is only about the size of Vermont—your group doesn’t have to limit the number or variety of experiences each person wants to have, and if you’ve chosen the ideal resort for your sojourn, staffers would love to help you put together a menu that delights everyone. 

Jungle tours are especially popular because the nation’s 60-to-62% of forest and jungle provide habitats for an amazing array of creatures. Prepare to be impressed when you browse Frommer’s “Fauna in Belize” webpage, understanding that there are many more critters making up Belize’s animal population than those listed.

Must you fill your schedule with wildlife experiences only? Hardly. Some Belizean Dreams guests would rather browse shops in Hopkins, take advantage of aquatic activities like diving, snorkeling, fishing, river tubing, or select a combination of adventures. Alternately, work on your tan and let everyone else fill their days with activities.

Whether you’re up for jungle exploration or plan so much down time, extra bathing suits and sunscreen will be required, there's likely one adventure you would love to add to your stay at Belizean Dreams that gets buy-in from everyone: Saving money. Summer specials are sure to appeal to every member of your party. Think about it. This could be the first holiday your group takes where everyone comes home insisting, “I got to do exactly what I wanted to do!”
