Overwater Garifuna Drum Class at The Mayan

**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.
