Freshwater Creek Lagoon Bioluminescence, Food & Music Tour is sure to be fun while learning about Hopkins, Its local Indigenous Garifuna People, and its culture and aquatic environment that has been vital to their survival...

Start your Hopkins evening exploration with a boat ride to the only Afro-Indigenous Cultural Heritage Preservation Island in the World, which is Kalipuna Island located on the north end of Hopkins.  Enjoy a traditional and cultural 3-course cuisine served for Dinner inclusive of local appetizers, desserts, and alcoholic or nonalcoholic traditional beverages while being entertained by live drumming.
