What to do when the wind doesn’t blow. 

Ambergris Caye and Belize have a huge diversity of activities. We can organize any trip or tour as part of your total package price or you can wait until you get here and see what you fancy.

Here is a selection of things to do:

Diving
AC is lucky to have the 2nd longest barrier reef in the world on its doorstep. There are 100 of local dive sites just 15-30 minutes away. We are closely connected with Bottom Time, one of the best dive shops on the island and we would recommend Rudy as your dive master. If you haven't tried diving before, the dive shop offers open water certification with Mr. Sylvan, one of the first PADI dive instructors on the island. For the more advanced divers there are trips to the outer atolls of Belize such as Turneffe and the Elbow, fantastic wall dives with abundant fish life. The famous Blue hole is also a must for the fanatic.

Snorkeling
The snorkeling here is spectacular. You cant really go straight off the beach the best way to snorkel is to either take one of our kayaks or sailboats and snorkel close to the reef or we recommend taking an afternoon trip to Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray alley. Mexico Rocks and Bacalar Chico are other great snorkeling spots.

Parasailing
See the wonders of the reef from the air.

Bird watching
Belize has 100s of species of birds. On this half day trip you will visit 2 bird sanctuaries at Cayo Rosario and Little Guana Caye. Amongst the many exotic bird you will see Spoonbills and Pink Ibis, as well as pelicans and frigates.

Manatee Tour
A day boat trip to the drowned Cayes takes you to see the west indian manatee in its natural habitat. Although you wont be allowed to snorkel with these creatures the trip offers other snorkeling stops and a visit to Goffs Caye.
