world and is home to a legion of sea animals and fish
species. Snorkelers and divers can experience the
amazing underwater world of the reefs while vacationing in
Belize. The water's temperature and clarity make exploring
the abundant marine life comfortable and easy.

Belize travel itinerary. There are a number of snorkeling
and scuba diving sites where you can delve into the
depths, and Belize's dive shops can supply you with all of
the equipment you need for your excursion.

Fishing and Chartering

including game fish, the country is a popular vacation
destination among fishermen. The Caribbean Sea shelters

fish. Avid fishermen can spend their trip on the water
fishing or trolling from a boat, or casting off near the coast
at river mouths or lagoons. Many resorts on the island
have fishing packages, so you can easily include sport
fishing as a part of your stay.

No matter what kind of activities you enjoy, Belize has
something special to offer all types of active travelers
vacationing in the region.
