Optional Hotel and Transfer Package

Our optional end of trip Hotel and Transfer Package is arranged through our office before you depart and is paid for in Belize. This package is designed for those who will be returning home the day after the trip finishes and will need a hotel and transfer to the airport. These services which vary depending on the trip from $40 US to $80 US per person based on double occupancy are not included in the trip price so that those who are traveling independently after the trip or continue with us on a trip extension are not charged for services which are not required.

For those who are continuing on with another trip or traveling on your own please call us, we will be happy to help you plan your itinerary.
