Rooms at duPlooy's now include continental breakfast, self-guided tour of Belize Botanic Gardens, **use of innertubes and canoes around the property. **Only if you bring 'em back yourself. If you're hanging around duPlooy's for the day you might want to take a picnic lunch to the beach or garden and just relax a little.

If you have a yen to try your hand at tortilla or tamale making, basket weaving, or other local
food or craft, ask about Belize Botanic Garden's Traditional Knowledge workshop. This has to be scheduled a day ahead, but it's lots of fun and very informative. A Traditional Knowledge Workshop can be included as a half day activity on packages. It includes a guided Healer's Walk in the gardens, along with an activity such as one of those listed above. The activity takes place in the Maya house in the garden and a typical Mayan lunch is served there.
