Itinerary

Day 1 Dinner Party: San Ignacio

Welcome to Belize! Catch your included arrival transfer to the start hotel in San Ignacio and take some time to freshen up and get settled. After a welcome briefing with your CEO, you and your new Solo-ish mates will attend a hands-on, cooking experience featuring Belizean cuisine staples, and learn from a skilled local chef at his intimate kitchen. Then, sit down to enjoy your three-course meal. As you share stories around the table with your host, you’ll witness how food has the power to bring strangers together

Day 2 We Day: San Ignacio

Start the adventure this morning with a visit to the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich, which were built over 1,000 years ago on a hilltop above the Mopan River, Cayo District, and the neighboring Guatemalan countryside. Along with a local guide, you’ll climb the steps of El Castillo and marvel at the panoramic views of the jungle from the site’s tallest structure.In the afternoon, travel to the village of San Antonio to visit the San Antonio Women’s Cooperative, which was founded as a way for underprivileged women to earn income, learn new skills, and share centuries-old Maya techniques and knowledge. Spend time in the pottery workshop and gain some insight into the tradition of throwing pots. Afterwards, learn how to make tortillas which are a true staple of the country’s cuisine and see for yourself how hard it can be to make them perfectly round. Later, attend a chocolate tasting experience and learn more about the cultural history of this tasty sweet

Day 3 G Day: Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave

Get ready for what G does best and enjoy a day of must-see sites and adventurous activities in Belize with a surprise G twist occurring somewhere along the way. Transfer from the hotel in San Ignacio to the Actun Tunichil Muknal cave and take advantage of this opportunity to see up to 1400 artifacts, including pottery, tools and vessels used by the Maya for a thousand years. Hike to the cave entrance and wade/swim through the deep pools and explore this underground world. The experience includes lunch and loads of interesting information about the Maya’s relation to this cave. Stay alert and on the lookout, because who knows where you just might end up to cap off G Day

Day 4 San Ignacio/Caye Caulker

After three days in the San Ignacio area of Belize, it’s time for the next leg of this Solo-ish adventure. Transfer by private vehicle back to Belize City and board a water taxi to Caye Caulker, where “go slow” is the island’s motto and you’ll have plenty of time to relax in this paradise settings along white-sand beaches and warm coastal waters. Truly the best vibe for someone who might be ready for some alone time in the sun

Day 5 Caye Caulker

Awake on this breezy island paradise and have some breakfast at the hotel before heading out to explore this area on a leisurely bike tour with a local guide from the G Adventures-supported Bike with Purpose project. You’ll really get to know the laid-back Caye Caulker village and come to appreciate how small, but diverse this community of local residents and expats is. Afterwards, spend more time on your own enjoying the hotel amenities and the beach setting on your own or with your fellow travellers

Day 6 Me Day: Caye Caulker

It’s time for a day that belongs to you! After a few immersive days, on Caye Caulker the area might be feeling familiar and you’re likely ready to take the charge of your own day here. Choose to pre-book the Hol Chan Marine reserve day tour and head out to see some fascinating wildlife or stick with your incredible CEO for a walk and exploration of the split, or perhaps keep relaxing on the white-sand beaches. You can decide to be as alone or social as you choose for the best of both worlds!
