You stay thirteen nights in hotels, lodges, an island guesthouse and a jungle bunkhouse, with most breakfasts and several lunches and dinners.

On tiny Tobacco Caye you snorkel straight off the beach, spend two nights in a jungle bunkhouse looking for howler monkeys, and finish with three nights on laid-back Caye Caulker.
The physical rating is low to medium. This trip suits active families who love animals and the outdoors.
