Filled with wildlife sanctuaries, archaeological sites, marine, and nature reserves, there is no shortage of things to do in Belize. A large portion of the country is protected and filled with lush jungles, exotic tropical plants, hundreds of bird species, interesting animals, colorful coral, and countless fish.
Whether you are a beach lover, water adventurer, daydreamer, or bird watcher, Belize is for you.
What to do in Belize
Immerse yourself in magical Mayan culture. Imagine standing high atop a Mayan temple with a 360-degree birds-eye view of the magnificent rainforest canopy.
Be dazzled by the Great Blue Hole, Hol Chan and Shark/Ray Alley or Mexico Rocks. With the largest barrier reef in the western hemisphere, the country has an incredible array of marine wildlife to see. This makes both snorkeling and diving in Belize incredible experiences.
Catch your own fish dinner. Go fishing in Belize for an amazing boating experience.
The Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center is a world-class facility that provides a home for orphaned or rescued animals that were injured and need rehabilitation. Covering 29 acres of tropical savanna and housing over 150 animals, with over 45 of the species being native to Belize, this is one adventure you will not want to miss.
Ziplining and cave tubing are also very popular activities in Belize. Have a “Tarzan” experience zipping through the tropical forest.
Experience “Nat Geo”moments walking down the beach on Ambergris Caye. Make some new friends and hear interesting stories about Belize culture when you stop at a local beach bar for a refreshing beverage along the way.

Hi Lorie,
We’re coming for a stay in a few days. I recall a while back hearing of a place in San Pedro that cared for injured iguanas, and would let visitors come in and see them (for a donation). Are they still around, and if so, where are they located?
Also, are there other small things to do, like a local museum or art gallery? I love those small organizations and would like to visit and donate.
Thanks!
Sue
Eco Iguana Corner Sue and Hol Chan has a very small marine museum in town.
We will be a party of 6, staying at the Affair to Remember, http://www.vrbo.com/465816. Dec 3-9th 2015.
We want a whole day on the water. Visit to the Blue Hole, perhaps snorkel there. But definitely fishing also. I have been told you can set up the best trip for us.
Please let me know what you have connections for
Thanks

Sending you an email Arlean, I can help you with Placencia recommends. Your vrbo looks great, I am sure your group will have a great time there.
Hello,
I will be in Belize in week of Jan 26 at the Sun Breeze with the Fike family.
They told me to contact you in regards to scuba diving and snorkeling. I have already contacted the dive group from this hotel for pricing. Fike’s mentioned your pricing may be better. I would love to find a local with a boat that can take us snorkeling. If we were to take the water taxie is there a beach we can snorkel off of?
Thank you kindly.
