Bocawina Eco-Resort
Bocawina offers mid-range accommodations. Each room features two queen-sized beds, ceiling fan, armoire for clothing, private bathroom with hot and cold shower, in-room wi-fi access, and daily housekeeping. These beautiful thatch cabanas offer a picturesque view of Mayflower's Antelope Waterfall.

Tobacco Caye Paradise
Tobacco Caye is a small Belizean-owned vacation property with six over-the-water rustic cabanas, located in the middle of the Belize Barrier Reef. The cabanas have wooden decks that extend over the Caribbean – essentially you can walk from your bedroom right into the ocean and enjoy world class snorkeling right off the beach! This property is completely off-the-grid! There are no electric or water utilities on the island and they collect their own rainwater and generate their own electricity from solar power (only using a generator when absolutely necessary).

At Bocawina, dining service is available in the Wild Fig Restaurant and Bar. The Wild Fig deals directly with the local farmers and uses only the freshest ingredients available. They also use Belizean fruits grown on the property. Cuisine offered includes international and Central American as well as local fare along with Creole dishes and smoked BBQ. Vegetarian meals are also available on request. At Tobacco Caye Paradise, delicious Belizean-style meals are available in the dining hall, where you can dine with fellow travelers and share the day’s adventures.

Plan to bring additional money for activities, depending on your tastes and preferences. There are a wide range of on-site and off-site activities available at the lodge. For pricing and details visit Bocawina Resort's website. Taxes (approximately $95.75 for Bocawina accommodations) will be payable at time of booking. You should also budget money for additional meals and beverages not included in the trip price. If you’re planning to fly to Dangriga from Belize International Airport (Belize City), flights are approximately $100 each way. If you're trying to save money, you can travel by bus for $10.

We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for all trips. Travel insurance allows you to seek reimbursement if you are forced to cancel your trip for unforeseeable reasons, or if you need to cover medical help, emergency transport, and/or theft or accidental damage while traveling. For travel insurance, we recommend World Nomads as a provider.

We recommend you visit the local government websites where you plan to travel and review the required documentation for entry, current restrictions, and general recommendations for travel within the area. We encourage you to also visit your home country's embassy website if you are traveling to a foreign country. Requirements can change rapidly. Please be sure you stay abreast of the requirements and restrictions for anywhere you plan to visit. You can also enroll in the U.S. government’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) and you will be sent updates if the situation in your destination changes. You can find the program link at https://step.state.gov/.
