Belize Feature Tours
Snuba: Snuba® was created for those who enjoy the simplicity of snorkeling and would
like to experience the wonders of breathing underwater. Snuba is a unique,
patented shallow water diving system, bridging the gap between snorkeling and
scuba diving.
Barrier Reef Hol Chan/Shark Ray: SCUBA diving is one of the most talked about tourist activities in Belize. Our
coral reefs are the richest, most diverse and beautiful habitats in the sea. The
layout of the local underwater landscape and the ocean currents make Belize
proud owner of the largest coral reef in the Western Hemisphere. Many visitors
fall in love with our underwater world and within a short period of time become
as fascinated with it as with the tales of the Lost City of Atlantis.

Lamanai Maya Site & The New River: After an hour's drive up the Northern Highway, you board a riverboat at Tower Hill and head up the New River. At the entrance to the New River Lagoon, the ruins of Lamanai (Maya for "sub-merged crocodile") rise into view.
