Snorkeling

In the crystal clear waters of Ambergris Caye non-divers can enjoy the beauty of the under-the-sea world. There are several sites to snorkel and skin-dive, Hol Chan under water Marine Reserve, Mexico Rocks and Coral Garden are all within a short boat ride for the Victoria House Pier. All equipment can be rented from Fantasea Dive Shop located on the pier.

Long before the discovery of the Americas by Europeans, the land now known as Belize was home to a thriving and advance culture. The living descendants of this period are a proud part of the mosaic of modern Belize, while the remains of their cities and cultural centers are found all over the land. Many are recognized archeological sites but others remain undiscovered in farmers' fields and towns people's back gardens. We will be happy to assist you in planning a day trip or an overnight excursion to these unique aspects of our Belizean heritage. From the island we recommend two Mayan sites; Altun Ha and Lamanai

The trip to these sites begins with a boat ride from Victoria House Pier for a short crossing to the mainland. You will then have a snack breakfast on board and head up the Northern River to the village of Bomba. Along the way you'll have the chance to see crocodiles, exotic birds, tropical fauna and other denizens of the jungle river environment. At Bomba, road transportation awaits for a short trip overland to either the ruins of Altun Ha or to another jungle riverboat for Lamanai. If your trip is to Altun Ha you will then be taken to the Maruba Jungle Lodge for lunch (not included in trip cost) or served lunch at the site of Lamanai. Return to Victoria House in time to freshen up before dinner.
