Belize is home to the second largest coral reef in the world at 290 miles long. Along the reef are countless cayes, both big and small including Ambergris and Caulker.
Snorkelling and diving the reef can be very rewarding. You may encounter one of the three species of sea turtle whom nest here, as well as nurse sharks or manta rays. You may also see giant lobsters, moray eels, dolphins, starfish or spotted eagle rays.

Hundreds of beautiful cayes are scattered off the Belize coast. Many can be visited by boat for a day of snorkeling and a picnic.
One of those cayes is Goff's Caye
We spent several hours there enjoying the water and fish. It was great snorkeling.

While staying on Caye Caulker, we went on a Manatee Snorkeling Tour where we went and saw manatees in their natural habitat. We also went snorkeling on various reefs and had lunch on a tiny island in the middle of nowhere. After lunch we went to shark and ray alley. The motor of the boat 'calls' the sharks and other marine life to the reef, where you can pet and swim with them. The rays were huge...bigger than the circle i can make with my arms. Don't forget to bring your underwater camera!!!!

Snorkling and water fun on the reef from San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize
The Winnie Estelle is a restored Chesepeke Bay clam boat. The Captain Roberto Smith is most entertaining and friendly. He offers a pleasant slow reef cruise with snorkling stops, lunch in Caye Caulker and plenty of free rum and beer.

This is the largest reef in the northern hemisphere and 2nd largest in the world. You can't go to Belize and not snorkel. Photos soon.

My husband and I traveled to Belize for our one-year wedding anniversary and loved every bit of it; from the warm and friendly people to the amazing Mayan ruins.

Twenty-eight miles long and the country's biggest island, Ambergris Caye , is where people go to get away. It is about an hours boat ride from the pier in Belize City or a short flight on a comuter...

Caye Caulker is a fairly inexpensive (or at least, was) diving destination that is very laid-back and offers unreal diving and other water sports. If you are looking for good beaches, this is not your...

When I landed in Belize City, I immediately hopped on a bus and headed West (to San Ignacio). After a few days, I headed back East, then South -- and stopped in Hopkins for a couple of days. Wow!...
