Today, November 19 is Garifuna Settlement Day and is one of the most important holidays of the year in Belize. This holiday commemorates the arrival of the Garifuna people onto the shores of Belize and is celebrated for the entire week throughout the country, but especially in Dangriga, the spiritual capital of the Garifuna people.

We’re going into our 32nd year and are looking forward to our next trip season which is just around the corner. The first trip out to the cayes begins in mid-November.
A tremendous amount of work goes into preparing for the start of a new trip season. Probably the most important event of the start up is the time we get together in Belize for ‘guide sharing’ as we fondly call it. It’s a time for the directors, team managers and trip leaders to get together, welcome new staff, refresh and re-certify our first aid skills and introduce new trip activities into the line up.
For all art and cultural enthusiasts, you need to add these brand new cultural attractions to your Belize travel bucket list! This summer, Bocawina Rainforest Resort and Tobacco Caye Paradise hosted international visual artists "Guri" & Genesis Taveras. Together they created beautiful works of art that are catching people's attention and will inspire your next trip to Belize!
We are excited to announce that we are now offering Belize scuba diving packages, based on the beautiful Tobacco Caye Paradise Lodge. Join us to explore the underwater wonders of the Belize Barrier Reef.
Tobacco Caye Paradise is located on a palm-fringed five-acre islet in the South Water Caye Marine Reserve and is an offshore wonderland for divers, snorkelers, and kayakers.
Accommodation is provided in private over the water beach which all face north to the Belize Barrier Reef and have wonderful decks perched over turquoise tropical waters.
September is a month filled with holidays and celebrations in Belize. Festivities commemorate the Battle of St George Caye on September 10 and Independence Day on September 21. The people of Belize celebrate this month carnival style with parades, vibrant costumes, dancing, music and jam-packed revelry!
