1. Swim in the Expansive Resort-Style Pool

With lots of chairs and loungers, the pool and surrounding decks are large enough that you won't feel crowded.  The scene is set with swaying palm trees and a beautiful cascading waterfall.  Spending all day swimming and splashing around the resort-style pool is a fun activity for the whole family to enjoy.

2. Play in the Lagoon

There are many ways for the family to be active and explore the lagoon together.  Cruisers can rent kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and electric boat floats! Let the adventure begin!

3. Go Zip Lining at The Flighthouse

Perfect for the thrill-seekers in the family, you can zipline across the island and enjoy the adrenaline rush as you fly over the beach and sunbathers.

Book the Adrenaline Package, and you'll have access to the Lagoon Run Adventure Zip, which is three zips that crisscross the Harvest Caye lagoon and traverse the suspension bridge. You'll also get to do the Superman Beach Zipline run, which takes you 1,300 feet at 40 miles per hour. Wonder why this is called the Superman Beach run? You'll be flying side by side in a face-down "superman" position. If you prefer, you can use the seat harness instead.

4. Tour the Lagoon Wildlife and Mangrove Estuaries

This is a great chance to see many types of wildlife in a natural habitat. When drifting past the mangroves on your tour aboard the Motor Launch, you may spot manatees resting or grazing along the embankments as your tour guide will detail how the manatees spend their days in Belize. The family will have so much fun, they won't realize they're getting a nature lesson!

5. Go River Tubing in the Rainforest

The rainforest river tubing adventure provides a unique way to experience sightseeing- by floating on an inner tube along a scenic waterway through the rainforest. You'll float along a spring-fed river, enjoying the beautiful jungle landscape. Getting to the river tubing site at Big Falls is easy. And, don't worry if you didn't bring water shoes on your cruise — you can rent them directly at Big Falls Outpost.

6. Rent a Cabana or Villa

There are pool canopy cabanas for rent on the beach, perfect for up to four people. Food and beverages are provided, and the family can use golf carts to sight-see around the island together. Private bathrooms are a bonus. The cabanas are also air-conditioned for the younger ones who may need to catch a nap away from the Belize heat.

Or, go for a larger secluded villa that is ideal for six guests, with the ability to add a maximum of four more guests. Villas have air conditioning, private restrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, a digital safe, mini-fridge, Bluetooth audio, and more. You'll also have your own Butler and Concierge service, perfect for the ultimate luxurious family escape.

7. Relax on the Beach

To keep it simple, but still have a blast, bring a ball, football, or Frisbee and spend quality time together playing on the beach. You can also bring pails and make sandcastles. Kids adore when parents play games with them. We call it bonding on the beach!

8. Explore a Maya Site

Head to Nim Li Punit Maya site, which means "Large Hat" in Q'eqchi' or Kekchi Mayan. Nim Li Punit earned its name because of a stela depicting one of its rulers wearing a large headdress. While not as big as some other Maya sites in Belize, you'll find a well-preserved ball court and an observatory. Kids enjoy the welcome center and small museum where they can see more artifacts and preserved stelae.

9. Book a Parasailing Adventure

Consider booking a parasailing adventure if your kids are at least 8 years old and weigh at least 60 pounds. You can do a tandem adventure high above the beautiful Caribbean Sea, with epic views of Harvest Caye.
