The little town of Placencia is less than 30 minutes south of @theplacenciaresort !
From there, you can reach Silk Caye or Laughing Bird Caye. Caye is pronounced [key], and they are small islands 30 to 60 minutes from the coast.
Excursions are typically whole-day outings (9A-3P) and include the boat ride, lunch, snorkeling equipment, and park entrances. They cost around $100 per person.
Silk Caye was our top choice, as you can swim with sea turtles and sharks!
We had to cancel our plans due to weather… and that makes us want to come back down to Belize at some point!](https://scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/286408632_173499505069787_3382742855823379797_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=GGMvPcgrIA8AX9rI2ES&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&oh=00_AT_SGqVqOtz0BF26q6EgJbLNNoGs3s0Ed0gw0GchMqQpJQ&oe=62BC8B42)

It’s been a beautiful first day at @theplacenciaresort !
🚗 We were going to spend a few days in the jungle near Hopkins, but made a last-minute change and drove down the two hours to Placencia!
🌴 Technically, we’re still about 30 minutes away from Placencia, but the feel of this peninsula is so different than Hopkins!
🏖 We are excited to discover a new Belizean beach and hope the weather will hold up! The sun showed up for a couple of hours today and we just hung by the pool, the boys went kayaking, and we ate the finest dinner we’ve had in a long long time!!
👙 Can’t wait to explore more of Placencia tomorrow, and enjoy a few chill days by the pool / beach!
