1. The Best Time to Visit Belize for Solo Travellers
A great time to visit Belize if you are travelling solo is during non-holiday times.  January, February and April are great months to visit and popular times for our solo guests to join our adventure trips.

We also offer complete trip planning services and personal advice before, during and after your trip with us.  We take care of all the logistics so you can relax and not worry about planning the details.

Our Adventure Basecamp trips - Our Basecamps at Lighthouse Reef on Half Moon Caye and Glovers Reef on Southwest Caye are well-suited to solo travelers.  The group size is 6-22, and guests have the flexibility of choosing from a variety of guided activities.  The informal, fun Basecamp atmosphere, with group meals and socializing in the open aired dining pavilion, fosters friendships and interaction amongst guests.

3. The Advantage of Small Group Travel
Many of our guests travel on their own. Our style of trip is ideal for single travelers combining the benefits of group camaraderie and group security with lots of individual flexibility and freedom in what you want to do each day.  Joining one of our trips allows you to reach the hard to reach places in Belize at an affordable price.

4. Connect with Other Like-Minded Travelers
Our trips attract guests who have a passion for the outdoors, a sense of adventure and who are eager to learn about the culture and people of Belize.  Join a sunrise yoga class in the morning, and then spend the rest of the day exploring Belize by kayak, SUP or snorkelling the fascinating marine underworld.  Evenings are spent socializing and enjoying delicious cuisine with fellow travellers.  There is always ample time to relax and read a book in a beach hammock.  However you choose to spend your day we guarantee that you will easily connect with like-minded travelers and possibly make lifelong friendships like many of our previous guests.

5. Affordable Single Supplement Options for Single Travellers
We welcome solo travellers on all our trips and have affordable single supplement options.  Our standard trip pricing is based on double occupancy. Solo guests can request either to share twin accommodations with another traveler or request single accommodations for an additional fee. If you are willing to share and we are able to match you up - no problem and no extra cost. If we cannot match you up then we have a simple, affordable $149US or $189Cdn supplement fee for trips of 6 nights and longer and $59US or $75Cdn for shorter trips. This fee will be applied at the time of booking, but will be reimbursed just before your departure if we are able to match you up. Should you prefer private accommodations, we can provide you with your own room and prices vary depending on the trips.
