Day 1: Welcome to Belize & Journey to Ambergris Caye

Traveling with kids means convenience is key—you don’t want to spend long hours in transit or dealing with complicated connections. That’s what makes Belize such a perfect family destination. With direct flights from major U.S. cities like Miami, Houston, and Dallas, you can arrive in under three hours, minimizing travel fatigue and maximizing vacation time.

Your adventure begins as you land at Belize International Airport (BZE), where the transition to island life is seamless. From here, you can take a scenic 15-minute flight over the Caribbean Sea

Check in to Sunbreeze Suites, your family-friendly resort in two bedroom beachfront suites and settle in before heading out for a relaxed evening. Enjoy a beachfront dinner at a local restaurant where kids can play in the sand while you soak in the island vibes.

Day 2: Chocolate Making & Sweet Cultural Fun

Start your morning with a delicious breakfast before heading to a chocolate-making class. Kids will love learning about the traditional Mayan chocolate-making process, from roasting cacao beans to grinding and molding their own treats.

Afterward, spend the afternoon at the beach or pool, letting the kids splash around while you relax. For dinner, head into town for fresh seafood or Belizean barbecue.

Family Tip: Many restaurants offer kids’ menus or dishes like grilled chicken, rice, and beans—perfect for picky eaters!

Day 3: Reef Fishing & Beach BBQ Adventure

You can’t visit Ambergris Caye without experiencing the Belize Barrier Reef! Start the day with a private reef fishing trip—a fun and interactive way for kids to learn how to fish. After catching your own snapper or grouper, your guide will cook up a fresh beach BBQ on a secluded stretch of sand.

Spend the afternoon swimming, snorkeling, or simply soaking in the sun before heading back to town.

Family Tip: Bring along sun protection and snacks for the little ones—this is a full day of fun under the sun!

Day 4: Free Day to Explore by Golf Cart

Give your family a flexible day to explore Ambergris Caye at your own pace. Cruise around the island on golf cart.

Day 5: Snorkeling at Hol Chan & Shark Ray Alley

On your last full day, take a half-day snorkeling tour to Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley. Kids will love swimming alongside colorful fish, sea turtles, and friendly nurse sharks. The clear, shallow waters make this an incredible experience for all ages.

After the tour, enjoy a leisurely afternoon—shop for souvenirs, grab ice cream, or relax by the beach before a final sunset dinner.

Family Tip: Even young kids can snorkel with the help of life vests and experienced guides. Bring an underwater camera to capture the magical moments!

Day 6: Scenic Flight Back to Belize City

After a final morning on the island, take a short scenic flight back to Belize International Airport for your departure. If time allows, grab some last-minute souvenirs or enjoy one last Belizean meal before heading home.
