While travelers come here to relax and enjoy, this island offers various adventures and activities as well.
Ambergris Caye is the largest island in Belize, but this isn’t the reason behind its popularity. Since it has an adventure for everyone, this island has become most eminent tourists’ destination in Belize.
In short, it is the hub of windsurfing, diving, snorkeling, para sailing, kite surfing, boating, fishing and much more.
Barrier Reef, Hol Chan Marine Reserve & Mexico Rocks
Located off the coast of Northern Belize, Ambergris Caye is a perfect place for snorkelers and scuba divers. It gives divers a great opportunity to dive into water and swim through it. Besides, it is surrounded by some other great diving and snorkeling sites that further enhance the value and eminence of Ambergris Caye. In fact, this island gives access to the Great Barrier Reef too, which is the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere and the second longest on earth. It is a home to wide variety of tropical coral, and the water inside the reef allows divers to view fabulous marine creatures as well.
Ambergris Caye caters snorkelers and non-divers too and Hol Chan Reserve is the perfect place for them. Located at the southern tip of Ambergris Caye, this reserve also teems with coral formations and marine life. Snorkeling here implies coming across more than 160 different species of fish.
Close to it is Shark Ray Alley where you will be able to get up close with Southern Sting Rays and Nurse Sharks.
Beside this, Mexico Rocks is also a superb place for snorkelers, particularly beginners, since the water here is shallow and only 12 ft. deep. It is just 20 minutes away from Ambergris Caye.

Ambergris Caye accommodates all Levels of Windsurfing
It is not less than a paradise for windsurfers. October through March is the ideal time period for windsurfers since it is windy on this Island in these months.
