Turf and Surf Getaway Coast Belize - 4 days on horseback and 3 days at the beach Your trip starts at a location on the Mighty Belize River and central to all of Belize. You will stay at a ranch with over 120 horses, 80 cattle, many tropical birds, a few monkeys and a jaguar on the property. Here horses roam free and huge iguanas laze in the branches above the bamboo. The land is surrounded by evidence of both the ancient Maya and a historic logging tradition. Home to the finest Equestrian Center in Belize, we can cater to riders of all riding levels. We will have instructions for novices and brisk outings for the more advanced riders. we will give you something different. You awaken to the shimmering ethereal glow of dawn materializing through the tropical haze. The well kept horses, quiet river, lush pastures, gentle breeze, ancient trees laden with bromeliads, flocks of parrots, flaming sunsets, delicious meals, friendly people, and exotic surroundings will speak peace into your soul. There are miles of trails often times under the forest canopy. Nice long canters along jungle trails can be an exhilarating experience. After four days of fun filled activities we will take you to the airport for a short flight to San Pedro on the Ambergris Cayes. It is a small island full of life and quiet beaches. We have pre-reserved a nice 3 star beach hotel in a suite with ocean view. We take care of all airport transfers and lodging with breakfast ... the rest is up to you. There are many exciting activities to chose from. The half day snorkeling trip to Holchan and Shark Ray Alley is a must. It is a $40 excursion that you will never forget.

DAY 4 : All day horseback ride in the Blue Hole National Park. Covering 575 acres, Blue Hole National Park encompasses this water-filled sink, St. Herman’s Cave, and the surrounding jungle.

Rich in wildlife, Blue Hole National Park harbors the jaguar, ocelot, tapir, peccary, tamandua, boa constrictor, fer-de-lance, toucan, crested guan, blue-crowned mot-mot, and red-legged honeycreeper. The entire area is a labyrinth of caves where the ancient Maya once lived and roamed; some of the chambers still show signs of rituals long past. The pool of the Blue Hole is an oblong collapsed karst sinkhole 300 feet across in some places and about 100 feet deep. Water destined for the nearby Sibun River surfaces briefly here only to disappear once more beneath the ground. Steps lead down to the swimming area, a pool 25 feet deep or so. BLD

Jungle Accommodations:

Cabanas with roofs made from jungle bay leaf thatch are uniquely designed. Crafted by Banana Bank craftsmen with fine Belizean woods, they are, in themselves works of art. Each cabana has a solarium bath, a sitting room and two bedrooms, each with queen and single bed. Four to six family members, friends or groups traveling together can be easily accommodated in each cabana as each room has a queen size bed and a single bed. Carved doors, original oil paintings and jungle ambiance create a truly memorable surrounding.
The dining room is full of exotic presence. The tone is set by the soaring thatched roof. Carved banisters, pink gypsum stonewalls, and rich local hard wood paneling make this a beautiful place to enjoy. Our meals are served family style and are widely reported to be some of the best in Belize. The family atmosphere provides a setting for lively discussion between guests of different locations and interest. Menus vary but center around the kind of home cooking we call "grandma food" although our girls put on some of the best cuisine found in Belize.
