This tropical paradise is a safe tranquil town, overlooking the largest barrier reef in this hemisphere and is only a 15-minute flight from the Belize International Airport.

The Great Blue Hole

The Great Blue Hole in Belize
Approximately 45 miles from Ambergris Caye, the almost perfectly circular Blue Hole is more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) across and some 400 feet (123 meters) deep. The hole is the opening to what was a dry cave system during the Ice Age. When the ice melted and the sea level rose, the caves were flooded, creating what is now a magnet for intrepid divers. Today the Blue Hole is famed for its sponges, barracuda, corals, angelfish—and a school of sharks often seen patrolling the hole’s edge.
This 3 dive day trip departs 5:30 am returns 5:00 pm. coffee and continental breakfast, Picnic Lunch is on Halfmoon Caye.
