Best of Belize

Bird watching tours

One of the greatest things to experience in Belize is the Bird Watching Tours. These tours can last from 1-7 days and you decide to stay in the lodges if you prefer. During the day, you can take canoe trips or walks along the water to see the delightful birds that you cannot see at home. Some of these birds include the Toucan birds, blue-gray tanagers, parrots, anhinga birds, swallows and so many more. There are over 600 different types of birds for you to try to see while you are here if you enjoy bird watching. There are also the birds that migrate to Belize during different times of the year. This is something that you will want to make sure you experience on your trip to Belize. If bird watching is not your favorite thing to do you can still enjoy the walks along the waters edge and the trails through the jungle.

Scuba diving

With the Belize Barrier Reef extending from the Yucatan Peninsula preceding the southern border of the country, the diversity and beauty of Belize dive trips are second-to-none. Coral atolls, large and small cayes (islands), and small reefs dot the offshore Caribbean waters of this richly-endowed land. At 30 miles long, Ambergris Caye is the biggest of the islands, and its core town, San Pedro, is a hub for diving activity. Ramon’s Village and Tropica Beach remedy offer a array of diving courses for all levels of training.

Belize scuba diving in the south includes the Sapodilla Cayes, cheer Spit, and South Water Caye Marine Reserve, which is the country’s biggest marine reserve. Tobacco Caye has intriguing spur and orchard formations to investigate. The excitement at Silk Cayes is that it has the world’s biggest population of whale sharks from February to May. Last, but not least, is the charming Laughing Bird Caye, the least marine hoard in Belize.
