Being one of the only English-speaking countries in Central America is just one of the many perks you will get to enjoy. Explore the mainland and delve into the depths of sacrificial caves, climb mountains only to rappel into a giant cenote (sinkhole), visit one of our many Mayan ruins scattered across the country, rappel waterfalls, or go zipping through the treetops!

Endless diving and snorkeling sites await you filled with exotic marine life and colorful coral gardens. Swim with sea turtles, nurse sharks and stingrays. Snorkel alongside giant whale sharks or frolic with a pod of dolphins! There is always something new to see under the sea. After all this adventure just think how amazing it will be to return to your own Belize vacation rental and have a cocktail, a good night’s sleep, and wake up tomorrow to do it all again or try something new!
