Immerse yourself in the beauty of Belize's landscapes, where each activity promises unforgettable moments and lifelong memories. *Please note that this trip operates slightly different than traditional TrovaTrips. You will not have a designated guide who will accompany you throughout the trip, however, you will be in good hands. There will be multiple guides both in Bocawina and Glover's Reef who will oversee your activities, accommodations, and other needs. While in transit you will also have experienced drivers who will navigate you wherever you need to go. We also will provide a point of contact for your local operator should you need to reach out to them for anything. [Operator’s note: Accommodations on this itinerary are comfortable but rustic. Rooms at The Bocawina Rainforest Resort do not have air conditioning and provide fans for cooling. Accommodations on Glovers Reef Base Camp are also simplistic tarped/tented rooms set on a platform on the beach with no air-conditioning. Additionally, showers do not have hot water as they are supplied by collected and treated rainwater.]
