13 Things to Do on Ambergis Caye

1. Hol Chan Marine Reserve

The Belize Barrier Reef (the largest living barrier reef in the world) is home to Hol Chan Marine Reserve—a rich habitat thriving with diverse varieties of marine life. Hop on one of our Catamaran Cruises, go on a snorkeling adventure, and get up close and personal with coral, sea turtles, manta rays, parrotfish, angelfish, and more!  

Do you want to take your expedition up a notch? Opt to visit Shark Ray Alley! This one-of-kind location has been named one of the seven best animal dives in Central America. You'll experience the true novelty of gliding through the sea alongside neighborly nurse sharks and southern stingrays. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience you’ll never forget! There are two trips available daily to take you to Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley--one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

2. Great Blue Hole

Soar through the air on our scenic flight over the Great Blue Hole. You'll be mesmerized at the sight of the giant marine sinkhole—reaching over 1000 feet across and 407 feet deep! This excursion is perfect for those that aren’t interested in scuba diving or don’t want to spend a whole day traveling to the Blue Hole by boat. 

3. Catamaran Trip to Caye Caulker

Are you ready to go island hopping? Set sail on our fun-filled catamaran day trip to Caye Caulker. Upon arrival at the island, you have the opportunity to go exploring, shopping, and enjoy lunch at a local eatery.

Take your fresh catches to the picturesque, uninhabited west side of Ambergris Caye and have a BBQ on the beach! 

5. San Pedro Town

Rent a golf cart and make your way into the town of San Pedro. You'll feel like a local as you cruise up Front Street, drive along the beach in Boca del Rio, wave hello to friendly faces, and stop by Belizean-owned shops and restaurants. 

6. Secret Beach

Spend the day off the beaten path and visit one of the locals’ favorite spots—Secret Beach. Drive to the western end of Ambergris Caye and be greeted by dazzling turquoise waters (free from sargassum) and dozens of eclectic restaurants and beach bars.
