To explore and discover, the magnificent barrier reef is just a stone's throw away from the shores of La Isla Bonita. The Belize Barrier Reef begins at the northern end of the country off Ambergris Caye and continues some 150 miles south, ending with a series of small sandy islands off the southern coast of Belize.

This immense span of living reef encompasses every kind of coral and reef know to nature. The reef's close proximity to the Belize mainland and it's Cayes is a huge attribute.

From the Cayes local dive sites are reached in a matter of minutes. Additionally, protected waters inside the reef make getting to dive sites easy and comfortable.

There is a great variety of reef types and diving & snorkeling experiences in Belize. The Barrier Reef is 185 meandering miles (298 km) of unspoiled beauty. It varies from 8 to 16 miles (13-26 km) from the mainland to less than one mile (1.6 km) offshore from Ambergris Caye. Much of it is totally unexplored and all of it is easily accessible by boat. The reef is like a gigantic wall running parallel to the coast. Between the mainland and the reef are shallow, sandy waters with numerous mangrove-covered islands (cayes).

Quick Tips: Best Way To Get Around:

You'll no doubt arrive in the country by plane to Belize City. From there it's easy to catch one of the many flights a day run by Tropic Air or Maya airlines. Another way to access the caye is by water shuttle. These leave several times a day from the dock and stop at Caye Caulker enroute to San Pedro village on Ambergris. Once you arrive you'll probably want to walk just about anywhere you go unless you're staying at one of the resorts at the far end of the island in which case you'll catch a taxi. Golf carts, believe it or not, are also available both for rent and for 'taxi' about the island!
