Belize Sea Kayaking

Belize's unbelievably crystal clear waters contain the 2nd largest living coral reef in the world. Our trip will allow the traveller an ample opportunity to discover the angelic qualities of the reef and come face to face with the Caribbean's most beautiful marine life. Belize is laced with dozens of small islands or "cayes. " Those located on the southern half of the reef are completely uninhabited and offer plenty to visitors including snorkeling, fishing and diving. These cayes have retained their exquisite qualities throughout time. Bird Watchers can expect to see many different species including pelican, cuckoos, heron and tern.
