We've put together a list of
team-building activities for company retreats in
San Pedro
, including options that work well for both small and large teams.
Snorkeling at Hol Chan, beach time at Secret Beach, and easy evenings in San Pedro shape this retreat agenda on Ambergris Caye.
San Pedro is ideal for teams that want a laid-back Caribbean island experience with a strong focus on nature and water-based activities. Located on Ambergris Caye, it offers a slower pace that helps teams disconnect and focus on meaningful time together.
Teams typically fly into Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) in Belize City, then take a 15-minute domestic flight or a 1.5-hour ferry to San Pedro. The extra transfer requires planning but is generally smooth and reliable.
The best time is from December to May, with temperatures around 75–85°F and dry conditions. June to November is the rainy season, with a higher chance of storms, especially in late summer and early autumn.
Central San Pedro offers easy access to restaurants and activities, while areas north of the town provide more privacy and quieter beachfront settings. Many teams choose beachfront resorts or villas for a more contained experience.
The main draw is the proximity to the Belize Barrier Reef, one of the largest in the world. Teams can build their retreat around shared outdoor experiences, especially on the water, which creates a very different dynamic from city-based offsites.
Popular options include snorkeling or diving at Hol Chan Marine Reserve, boat trips to Secret Beach, fishing excursions, paddleboarding, and group island tours. Beach games and sunset cruises are also common.
A 4 to 5 day retreat is usually recommended due to the additional travel time. This allows teams to balance work sessions with several water-based activities and downtime.
San Pedro offers beachfront resorts, boutique hotels, and private villas. Many venues can accommodate group stays and organize both meeting setups and outdoor activities.
The island offers a mix of Belizean, Caribbean, and seafood-focused cuisine. Teams often enjoy beachfront dinners, casual local spots, and relaxed evenings by the water.
San Pedro offers a more authentic and less commercialized feel than many Caribbean hotspots. Teams we’ve hosted often highlight the natural environment and relaxed atmosphere as key advantages.
We got incredibly positive feedback. Many people said it was the best offsite we've ever had. So that's obviously the most important thing from like an organizational point of view. It was super nice working with you guys. I really enjoyed it. It was the first year we had an agency like you guys on board and it did really help, especially now having a much bigger team.
We did send a survey to everyone after the event. And the feedback was very positive. Everyone loved the hotel. People were saying that the food at the venue was very good, which I agree with. The rooms were great. The meeting space was perfect for us. Obviously the beach and the area were perfect. I think it was a great location for our team. There were some people that said this was the best summit they’ve attended.
The feedback has been impeccable. Everybody loved the hotel, loved the staff, loved the support from Surf Office, everything. All the expectations were, you know, not even just met, but went beyond. We loved the way we were taken care of.
The overall feedback was really fantastic. Everybody really liked the venue. They really liked being in the same location. We had a wonderful partnership and we’d love to work with you again.
We walked into it anxious. We walked away from it absolutely amazed by the results. It was so well organized. I would never have been able to do that alone, you pulled that off entirely. It was amazing. The team is buzzing! It blew people away. It definitely blew us away.
I was stressed out before the retreat cause I never did the planning. As soon as we arrived to the hotel, they knew everything and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Big thumbs up to the Surf Office team for the general flexibility, and for the communication.
It was absolutely perfect. There wasn’t one thing that I can criticize. We had a fantastic time, really really good. It went so smoothly, everybody was very happy. Anybody that asked now about how the offsite went, I just say: “It was amazing, you only can use 1 company, you don’t need to use anybody else”.
Amazing. It was I think a really lifelong memory. I think the whole team had a really great time. I never could do this without Surf Office.
It was an awesome experience. It went super smooth, the drivers were on time, food was great, and the flexibility of the hotel was great. We had a truly amazing time and all because of your great work and preparations – you were like the magic fairies that organised everything so beautifully!
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
