The Blue Hole is one of the world’s best-known diving sites. Warm, clear water with amazing views of corals and fish!

One of the best times of the year to dive in Belize is August-October when the temperature is around 83°F

Mayan Ruins, Altun Ha or Lamanai

These all-day activity trips travel inland up-river where you’ll have a chance to see some of the local wood carvings as you make your way in land to one of the ruin locations. After you have an opportunity to take in the amazing and historic sites, you can enjoy an afternoon at one of the jungle resorts.

Reef Fishing

If you prefer fishing in calm water protected inside the reef offer fantastic variety of fishing. The reef is 19 miles from the coast at its farthest point in Southern Belize, but less than a mile at its closest point in Northern Belize so the reef is always easy to access. Inside the reef you can find several species of snappers and jacks, kingfish, Spanish mackerel and big barracuda. One of the best baits to use inside the reef is fresh conch meat your guide will find!

Secret Beach

Our villa is located 3 miles from Secret Beach, one of the closest on the coast! (And by the way, Secret Beach, isn’t such a secret anymore.) With incredibly clear waters, you can see the massive sandbar that connects many of the islands. It is a beautiful view of the western side of the island with calm and tranquil waters. There are several places with local food and drink so plan to spend the morning, afternoon or day at Secret Beach.
