DAY TRIPS IN THE CARIBBEAN: BELIZE: 1. Cave Tubing 2. Diving or Snorkeling

MUST DO WHEN IN BELIZE

Spectacular natural attractions and the excitement of discovering Mother Nature’s Best Kept Secret draw travelers from around the globe, promising both relaxation and the richly rewarding authenticity they seek in a genuine Caribbean getaway. Nestled between Mexico and Guatemala on the Caribbean coast of Central America, Belize is one of the few remaining unspoiled places on earth.

Come enjoy:

- The longest barrier reef in this hemisphere, home to the Great Blue Hole, hundreds of islands, snorkel and dive locations.

- Hundreds of ancient Maya sites both excavated and jungle-covered.

- Lush tropical rainforest with many species of birds, and exotic tropical flora and fauna.

1. Go Caving Tubing

If you are looking for things to do in Belize, Cave Tubing should be on the top of your

list.

There is no other country or island in all of the Western Caribbean and perhaps in the entire world that offers anything quite like this. Since it was first introduced to cruise ship passengers in the late 1990's, Cave tubing has become the most popular shore excursion in Belize.

You can work out a private tour for a family of 4 for about $70 per person. You get our own vehicle that will leave the second you get on the pier and find them...no waiting for other people. He's also guaranteed you will have an informative guide for both the ride to the cave's and during the walk/caving. They provide older black tubes...but if you decided a private tour outweighs the tubes then this is your tour company!

2. Go Diving or Snorkeling

(Cruiseship passengers will not be able to dive the blue hole)

There is a great variety of reef types and diving & snorkeling experiences in Belize. The Barrier Reef is 185 meandering miles (298 km) of unspoiled beauty. It varies from 8 to 16 miles (13-26 km) from the mainland to less than one mile (1.6 km) offshore from Ambergris Caye. Much of it is totally unexplored and all of it is easily accessible by boat. The reef is like a gigantic wall running parallel to the coast. Between the mainland and the reef are shallow, sandy waters with numerous mangrove-covered islands (cayes).
