Belize Heritage Experience & Airboat Ride

Garifuna Culture & a Journey Among the Mangroves Immerse yourself in the culture of the Garifuna people and travel through a lush mangrove forest. The Garifuna people are descendants of an Afro-Indigenous population from Saint Vincent, exiled to the Honduran coast during the 18th century and subsequently moved to Belize. Discover their rich history and enduring cultural practices during a hands-on demonstration of the making of hudut , a traditional Garifuna meal composed of green and ripe mashed plantains, served alongside a coconut fish stew. Afterward, climb aboard an airboat and set out to explore a mangrove forest, keeping watch for local fauna as you navigate the winding waterways of Almond Hill Lagoon. Cap your excursion with a rum tasting, where you will experience Belize’s local flavors and have the opportunity to purchase your favorite from the gift shop, before returning to your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
