About Hopkins for Solo Travelers
A living Garifuna village on the Belizean coast where the drumming tradition, fresh seafood, and nearby world-class atolls offer solo travelers a genuinely authentic Caribbean cultural immersion.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Hopkins is a small Garifuna village on the coast — the cultural experience here is unlike anywhere else in Belize, with drumming traditions and Garifuna cuisine that solo travelers can explore authentically. Scuba diving at the nearby atolls (Glover's Reef, Turneffe) is world-class. Very quiet and relaxed; better for solo travelers who want peace than those seeking social hostels.
