Tucked along Belize’s southern coastline, Hopkins Village offers a rare kind of travel experience—one that blends culture, adventure, and laid-back coastal charm. For travelers from the U.S., Canada, or Europe looking to escape crowded cities and fast-paced itineraries, Hopkins delivers a refreshingly authentic and deeply enriching vacation. Whether you’re into nature, beach life, or connecting with local culture, this is a destination that feels personal and real.
At Uncharted Jewel Belize, we welcome visitors from around the world and help them discover Hopkins in the most meaningful way—through curated tours, private shuttles, and insider connections. Here’s why travelers from across the globe are choosing Hopkins as their next vacation spot.
Why Americans, Canadians, and Europeans Love Hopkins
Hopkins is not your typical beach town. While it offers beautiful stretches of coastline and boutique beachfront resorts, it’s also the cultural heart of the Garifuna people, known for drumming, dancing, storytelling, and traditional cuisine. For travelers seeking more than just sun and sand, Hopkins provides a deeper connection to Belizean identity.
Americans are often drawn to the easy pace of life here. Direct flights from cities like Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, and Miami make arriving in Belize convenient, and with Uncharted Jewel Belize’s shuttle services, getting to Hopkins is seamless. It’s the perfect escape from city life, offering a blend of comfort and culture without the crowds of larger destinations.
For Canadians, Hopkins is a warm, sunny antidote to long winters. Many snowbirds and vacationers from Toronto, Calgary, and Montreal appreciate the relaxed lifestyle, welcoming locals, and outdoor adventures that go beyond the beach. Whether it’s river kayaking, hiking in the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, or joining a Garifuna cooking class, Hopkins offers a laid-back but immersive experience.
European travelers love the authenticity of Hopkins. Unlike more commercialized Caribbean spots, this village feels untouched and real. It’s easy to get around, English is the official language, and the cost of living is much lower than in many European vacation destinations. Plus, the opportunity to engage with living Garifuna culture is something you won’t find anywhere else in the world.
How to Get to Hopkins
Hopkins is located about 2.5–3 hours by road from Philip Goldson International Airport in Belize City. While you can take a domestic flight to nearby Dangriga, most visitors choose to book a private shuttle with Uncharted Jewel Belize. Our air-conditioned, comfortable vehicles take you directly to your resort or vacation rental, with scenic views along the Coastal Highway and options to stop for food, drinks, or photos.
Once you arrive in Hopkins, you’re in the perfect location to explore the best of Belize. Go snorkeling along the reef, hike in a jaguar preserve, float through caves, or simply relax in a hammock by the sea. And if you’re looking for adventure, Uncharted Jewel Belize offers tours to Maya ruins, cacao farms, waterfalls, and much more.
