Snorkel the Barrier Reef just offshore from this relaxed little island. The best place from which to explore inland Belize, including the wonderful Maya site of Xunantunich. Dive deep into the inky waters of this coral-encrusted cavern. Hike the winding jungle paths of the world’s first jaguar reserve. Relax on Belize’s most beautiful, white-sand beaches or head out to sea for snorkelling and diving. Climb to the top of a 1200-year-old temple complex and admire Belize's greatest Maya city.
