You’ve spent the last several months making your wedding come to fruition and now it is time to unwind!  A honeymoon is a great opportunity for you and your loved one to enjoy some downtime and connect with each other.  A Caribbean vacation does not truly start until you kick back in a hammock and cheer to the beginning of your life together with a refreshing beverage of choice.  Whether it is a freshly chopped coconut, a local rum drink, or a glass of wine the point is to relish this down time together and do nothing but chill!

Now that you are relaxed and rejuvenated, catch the sunrise with your special someone. The view of the sun rising over the Caribbean Sea will be sure to bring some peace and tranquility to your day.  This is the perfect opportunity to take a meandering beach walk with your sweetheart, share stories about your wedding day, and plan out your Belizean adventures.

Explore Nature

Belize offers some once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to experience pristine Mother Nature. Whether you enjoy land or sea, relaxing or extreme adventures, there is something for everyone!

Try a hike together through the lush, broadleaf rainforest to one of many waterfalls in Belize.  Some notable falls that are worth the trek are Antelope Falls at Mayflower Bocawina National Park, Big Rock Falls in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, and Tiger Fern Falls at Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. After an immersive jungle hike, take your partner by the hand and plunge into the refreshing natural pool.  You will be awed by nature’s beauty as you bathe at the base of a waterfall.  Don’t forget your camera, as you won’t want to miss these picturesque moments.

Discover the Reef

You’ve just taken a big step with your spouse by saying, ‘I do’.  Now it is time to take another big step into exploring the underwater world by visiting the barrier reef.  Belize’s barrier reef  is a healthy and mature coral reef system that is home to bountiful and vibrant marine life. Whether you are discovering scuba diving for the first time or you are already certified, try this incredible diving experience.  To get there, meet us on the dock and jump in the boat with your reef safe sunscreen and reusable water bottle.  You’ll enjoy the 30 minute boat ride to the islands with nothing but the wind in your hair, sun on your cheeks and your love by your side!

Not sure about scuba diving?  Don’t worry, you can get an equally rewarding experience snorkeling with your newlywed in this Caribbean treasure. Keep an eye out for lobster, rays and elusive sea turtles!

Try New Adventures

Are you and your partner the adventurous type?  You can’t miss out on the many extreme adventures available in Belize from caving, ziplining, to jungle horseback riding.

An exciting adventure is the waterfall rappeling.  Start with a beautiful but challenging hike to the top of a waterfall where you then safely descend the cascade of water by repelling.  Experience and conquer this exhilarating adventure together, and there is nothing you both can’t do!

If you are looking for something a little more relaxing, try a cultural village bike trip, visit ancient Mayan sites, explore the inland Blue Hole or canoe down a jungle river.  Or perhaps you can take up a new birding hobby, and start your bird life list together with a birding excursion.  In Belize, there is so much to try.

Luxury and Romance

Follow this by finding yourselves a perfect spot to see the sunset over the mystical Maya Mountains and the moonrise over the Caribbean Sea complimented with an exotic cocktail to set a mood.  

For an extra special experience, consider watching the sunset from the water while eating hors d’oeuvres and sipping wine on a romantic sunset cruise!

Indulge Your Tastebuds

Finally, when enjoying your honeymoon in Belize, treat yourself by exploring the cuisine of Belize.  Belize is a melting pot of rich cultures that creates a unique and flavorful food scene. Indulging in the flavors from Garifuna, Mayan, Mestizo, and Kriol influences, will have your taste buds in heaven.  

The chocolate in Belize is produced from nothing but love, from growing the trees, harvesting the cocoa to preparing the beans and producing the bars. You’ll taste the pride of the craft in every mouth-watering nibble.  If you want to learn more about how chocolate is traditionally grown and produced by the Maya in Belize, try a chocolate tour.

For an extra romantic option, arrange for a private dinner on the beach to explore these delicious Belizean dishes.  Nothing says “I love you” more than a candlelit dinner, salty breeze, and view of the moon sparkling off the surface of the water.

Stargazing

Enjoy the night skies of Belize.

At the end of a day filled with new memories shared with your loved one, deepen the romantic mood by stargazing.  The constellations of the dark Belizean night skies really reveal themselves.  Take a stroll down the beach with the sand between your toes and ponder the twinkling Milky Way above you before you head to bed.  

A honeymoon in Belize offers you and your partner opportunities to relax, connect, explore and treat each other.  You’ll be kick starting your lives together by sharing amazing memories with the one you love.  Just as you will never forget your first kiss as husband and wife, you won’t forget your first trip together as a married couple!
