Activities
Belize offers so many amazing opportunities for both land and sea excursions. Boasting the second largest barrier reef, you will love the chance to snorkel or dive and see an amazing range of sea life. There are many fabulous businesses offering snorkeling trips, and you can’t go wrong with any of them.
For something a bit different, try booking a day on the mainland for Zipline & Cave Tubing. On our first trip to Belize, we took an excursion to one of the Mayan temple sites followed by a cave tubing adventure. These are distinctive experiences unique to Belize. There are many different adventures to offer, and the Blu Zen front desk can tell you about them all as well as help you get them booked. Be sure to check in with them!
