Placencia Village: Private Foodie & Culture Walking Tour

Wander the narrow sandy lanes of Placencia — Belize's most charming fishing village — with a private local guide, tasting Creole street food, sipping fresh coconut rum, and meeting the artisans behind the scenes.

What to expect

The 5-minute ferry from Harvest Caye deposits you in Placencia village, where your guide is waiting. Stroll the world's narrowest main street (a Guinness record holder) lined with painted wooden shops and bougainvillea. Sample Belizean ceviche, johnny cakes, and salbutes from vendors who know your guide by name. Visit a Garifuna drum-making workshop, taste single-estate cacao chocolate, and finish with a craft rum tasting at a local bar overlooking the Caribbean. Intimate, unhurried, and utterly authentic.
