As one of the premier scuba diving destinations in the world, San Pedro is home to a barrier reef that spans nearly 185 miles, giving you endless opportunities to explore unspoiled beauty. Rent anything you may need from one of the local dive shops, get a few tips from the locals, and book a spot on a dive boat. Or, snorkel around the Hol Chan Marine Reserve to see wonders below. Accessible only by boat, this five-square-mile, protected marine park offers visitors the chance to see vibrant coral and marine life such as stingrays, parrot fish, sharks, and eels.
If you wish to stay above the waves, there are still plenty of opportunities to get your adrenaline going! Feel the wind whip through your hair as your feet leave the ground when you parasail along the coast and see the white sand beaches and crashing waves far below. Jetskis, wave runners, stand-up-paddle-boards, and kayaks let you experience the sapphire waters as you soak in the warm rays of the sun.
If you're in need of some R&R, you might stay at one of our oceanfront cabanas in the vibrant town of Dangriga and relax on your own private beach! Of course, there are many places to grab a spot under the shade of an umbrella and catch up with a good book while soothing waves crash just a few feet away.
Just about everywhere in Belize, you can treat your palate to a wide offering of fresh seafood and local fare. With restaurants sporting casual atmospheres, your taste buds will be treated to unique and signature flavors that mirror the colorful culture and warm island lifestyle.

Make a day of reveling in the sights and sounds of vivacious Belize City. Raft or tube down rivers underneath the jungle canopy, and listen to birds chirping and singing through the trees before you fly down a zip line at one of the aerial parks.
With year-round sun, a welcoming local feel, and beaches that seem to stretch on forever, you'll be able to indulge your senses in everything from scuba diving adventures to lazy afternoons with an ice-cold drink on the beach.
