Think about how many days you want to spend in the jungle and on the cayes. We did several days at the Mopan River Resort (all inclusive) to see ruins, go cave river tubing, kayaking etc. Took Tropic Air to spend another set of days on Ambergris Caye for the snorkeling/beach activities.

Since we want MORE time for snorkeling on our next trip, we will now lodge on AC the entire time and just do one or two day trips to the mainland by boat. (Or you can fly on day trips also).

Either way can be arranged quite easily through tour companies in the US or once you get to AC if you would rather be more spontaneous once you arrive.

As Otteralum metioned, tell us about budget and preferences and getready for a flurry of return messages.

Also, get ready for the time of your life! Belize is fabulous and you will want to return again and again!!
