Hiking
Copal Tree offers several moderate hiking trails that showcase points of interest across the property. Explore the Chocolate Trail through our cacao plantation or take the Sugar Cane Run, which winds around the sugar cane fields just outside the gates.
On these trails, you may encounter a variety of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and tracks of larger nocturnal animals like tapirs and jaguars. You'll also find various medicinal and edible plants and mushrooms.
We strongly recommend hiking with a guide at least once; our knowledgeable guides are experts in local flora and fauna and excel at spotting wildlife.
Canoe or Kayak
We provide a fleet of kayaks and canoes for your enjoyment, perfect for a leisurely afternoon on the Rio Grande River. As you paddle quietly along Belize's lush jungle riverbanks, you'll feel deeply immersed in nature.
The river's gentle current makes paddling upstream or downstream easy, where you may encounter iguanas, howler monkeys, tropical birds, rolling tarpons, and a variety of indigenous wildlife.
Bikes
Our selection of classic fat-tire cruisers is perfect for navigating the dirt roads of the farm and the narrow streets of Punta Gorda and nearby villages. Biking through town provides a unique perspective, allowing you to experience the sights, sounds, and local culture of the area while enjoying a fun fitness activity.

The Yoga Palapa is perched above the treetops, providing stunning panoramic views of the jungle and the best sunsets in southern Belize. Accessible via the Signature Canopy Suite tram, this serene space is perfect for both solo and group workouts.
