Spectacular limestone caves invite you to canoe, cave tube, and bird watch.

Hundreds of small cayes with palm trees and reefs situated along the Caribbean Coast invite you to kayak, swim, snorkel, fish and dive. Belize’s coast boasts the spectacular Barrier Reef, the longest live coral formation in the Western Hemisphere and the second longest in the world.
