Highlights
**Why This Garifuna Drumming Class Is Truly Unique in San Pedro** Only at The Mayan can you learn authentic Garifuna drumming hands-on with a nationally celebrated master drummer. Real Garifuna culture lives on the mainland and southern cayes, so genuine Primero, Segunda drums and hand-crafted Dangriga maracas almost never reach Ambergris Caye — making this the rarest cultural experience on the island. Set beneath the largest Sacred Ceiba tree on Ambergris Caye (sacred to both Maya and Garifuna), in our overwater palapa at sunset, you play the actual ancestral instruments while the Caribbean breeze carries every beat. No other place in San Pedro brings together: - A true Garifuna champion drummer from the community - Real hand-made drums & maracas - This breathtaking seaside Ceiba setting Most visitors leave San Pedro without ever touching Belize’s true heartbeat. Here, you don’t just hear Garifuna music — you become it, in a sacred space that exists nowhere else on the caye.

About Ambergris Caye
Ambergris Caye is Belize's largest island, a long, low strip of sand and mangrove with a barrier reef a short boat ride from shore.
Ambergris Caye lies off the north-east coast of Belize, divided from the Mexican mainland by a narrow channel at its northern tip. The island runs for about forty kilometres, mostly flat and fringed with palms, and nearly everyone lives at its southern end in San Pedro, a small town of sandy streets where golf carts and bicycles are as common as cars.
