No doubt less burdensome than planning a diving trip, snorkeling is a sport for all to participate. Swimming along the top of the water, you can still catch excellent views of marine life and ocean coral. The colors will amaze you and the clear blue water makes Belize a supreme place to plan your next snorkeling trip.

No doubt scuba diving is on the minds of most Belize travelers. With the biggest barrier reef, and famous Blue Hole, scuba diving is at its best in the clear waters of Belize. There are hundreds of dive shops, resorts, hotels, and travel agencies who can arrange for your travel, accommodations, diving equipment, perfect dive spot, and everything that you need for your diving vacation.
Canoeing, Boating and Kayaking
Belize has many rivers which hold tours for canoeing, boating, and kayaking. Whether you want to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride, or be in the driver’s seat, there are many adventures that await you on the rivers of Belize.
Fishing
The fishing opportunities presenting themselves in Belize are almost unmatched. Even more dominant in southern Belize, fishing is a must for natives and a great sport for natives and tourists alike. Again, tour guides are available to help you find the best catch.
Cockscomb Jaguar Preserve
This unique tour offers an experience found no where else in the world. Belize has the only jaguar preserve, right within the small borders of the country. This area has been well kept and preserved to keep the natural environment. Although your chances of seeing an actual jaguar are slim, during the rainy seasons their tracks can be found throughout the 150 sq mile area.
