Luxury Punta Gorda Tours made for you
Discover the wonders of Punta Gorda with our private, tailor-made tours
Pristine countryside with a perfect mix of rainforest and reef driving
In the far south of Belize, Punta Gorda is even more laid back than the rest of the country with a wonderful rustic feel and lush countryside.
It’s a perfect mix of reef and rainforest here, with emerald jungle covering the rolling Maya Mountains and pristine rivers running into the clear warm waters of the Caribbean.
A significant swathe of the waters in the area have been protected allowing more marine life to be visible and perfect for avid snorkelers or divers.

“Jacada Travel has been outstanding”
We enjoy traveling and we have used Jacada Travel for some wonderful trips over several years. We have never been disappointed.

In 2025 we had planned a trip to Antartica ( with another company ) but…
“Communication and organization were…”
Communication and organization were excellent. The Jacada team was helpful and genuinely interested in our experience. The guides were personable, knowledgeable, and clearly enjoy their work. Vehicles were spotless, timely, and coordinators managed our every need brilliantly. I will recommend Jacada to friends and family. The only way to travel!
