Belize Explorer offers students environmental tours that are both adventurous and educational, where the focus is Tropical Rainforest Conservation & Cultural Exchange. Participants hike, bike and paddle across Belize's spectacular tropical landscape and participate in programs with teachers, farmers and conservationists. Students camp in the wilderness, on farms, at family-owned retreats and research stations or patronize village home-stay programs. Our food is always homemade and prepared fresh by our hosts.

Some of our programs are purely outdoor educational, such as Hike-Bike-Paddle-Sail where students traverse the full length of a watershed from mountain-top streams all the way down to the coral reef.

Other programs, such as Watershed Ecology include lectures by local university professors and opportunities for students to engage in data collection. And others, such as the Chiquibul Wilderness Challenge, place Belizean and visiting students together in Belize's most remote and inaccessible national park to brainstorm conservation alternatives for an area increasingly under threat of development.

Village Homestay programs place students in villages from where they can engage in a wide variety of research and community conservation activities working alongside the local population.

The above programs cater mostly to small high school and university groups (12-15 pax), and can be customized and combine with any of the Sample Itineraries listed.

We also have Educational Tour opportunities for individuals and smaller groups
Las Cuevas Research Station has recently begun welcoming eco-tourists and now visitors have the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and help scientists, or join field courses similar to those the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh MSc students take part in.

Jungle Survival Courses - Fellow survival enthusiasts will take you into the remote and pristine Chiquibul Reserve. You'll be accompanied by an ADVENTURETREX jungle survival instructor, along with two experienced local Mayan guides, who will teach you just how accommodating you can make your survival in a jungle setting, with almost none of the traditional worldly trappings.
