Belize is quite a small country, and Ambergris Caye is an even smaller island. One of the many pleasant surprises about vacationing on our rock is the sheer variety you can experience. There are many types of getaways that Belize is the right fit for, from a romantic honeymoon for two, a family spring break with little ones or a large group of friends reuniting in paradise. It is an easy day’s travel from many hubs throughout the USA, Canada and Central America, and English speaking. Just offshore lies the second largest barrier reef in the world which offers access right at your fingertips to world-class snorkeling, diving, fishing or boating. Located just a few miles from the mainland of Belize, we are the perfect launching point to see the dense rain forests or explore ancient Maya ruins. Wondering how to plan your perfect trip?
