What to Expect From This Tour
Ever wanted to experience a true adventure in a new country by motorcycle? It can be intimidating planning for a trip like that but that’s where we come in. We organize the route, activities, bike rental, and accommodations, so all you need to do is show up and be ready for a good time. As well as great riding, we promise you a range of different activities to help you unwind after a day in the saddle. From a half-day on a semi-private island with swimming and kayaking to visiting impressive Mayan Ruins, as Belize was once at the center of Mayan culture, it boasts some of the most impressive ruins in Central America.
We’ll take you to rainforest and nature reserves as well as animal sanctuaries to observe the diverse, native wildlife. We’ll stop off at refreshing waterfalls and idyllic white-sand beaches to take a dip in the water and cool off. We will make sure you are fully fuelled-up on delicious local dishes such as tamales and chimole. The adventure bikes that we rent have very manageable 150cc to 250cc options. Seat heights range from 30 to 33 inches and are easy to maneuver for most riders.
This is a unique opportunity to ride with the people you have met through the club or to form friendships with new, like-minded adventurers.
