About this experience

The Sunset Kayaking & Cooking Class is a four-hour evening in Hopkins, Belize, starting at 4:00 PM: a kayak paddle as the sun goes down, and a Garifuna cooking class with our family, with the meal shared together.

It's the shortest way to do both things we're known for: the water and the kitchen. You paddle in the evening light and cook a Garifuna meal with us, learning why the dishes are made the way they are.
