Belize is on the Central American coast of the Caribbean, nestled between Mexico and Guatemala. It offers an intriguing mix of tropical forests rich with wildlife, majestic mountains, mysterious Mayan temples, diving and fishing experiences beyond comparison. In a single day, you can go from the tropical forest to the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. While exploring, you will find the people are as warm and friendly as the climate.

Just off Belize's coast is the second largest barrier reef in the world. The reef offers pristine diving and the atolls beyond the reef are truly paradise. The walls and drop-offs are spectacular. Turneffe Islands and Lighthouse Reef boast much of the best diving in Belize.

Spend a little extra time and experience some of Belize's magical Mayan culture or see Belize's endangered wildlife. Tours can be arranged for your Friday afternoon when Sun Dancer II returns to port or for an extended stay deep in the jungle. Some thing to consider are: Altun Ha Mayan Site Tour, Belize Zoo Tour, Lamani Ruins, Cave Tubing & Jungle Walk. Contact LIVEABOARD VACATIONS for details.
