On a little peninsula jutting into the Caribbean Sea, Belize City is a popular cruise stop and the nation’s primary commercial, social, transit, and cultural hub. Historic sites here range from Mayan ruins to colonial buildings, while exceptional seafood and an enticing nightlife scene add to the package. Chaotic, ramshackle streets are alive with colorful and stately colonial houses, seaside parks, and bustling shopping areas. The city is divided into northern and southern halves by Haulover Creek, and though most tourist attractions are located in the city’s north side, where the cruise terminals are located, there are a few highlights in the south side such as St. John’s Cathedral and the House of Culture Museum.
Situated just off the coast of Belize - 21 miles northeast of Belize City - Caye Caulker is a tiny Caribbean island lapped by a cerulean sea and serves as the perfect base for underwater adventures. Encounter marine life at the famous Hol Chan Marine Reserve, Shark Ray Alley and scuba dive in the famous Great Blue Hole. The Caye Caulker Marine Reserve on the magical Belize Barrier Reef is the second-largest reef system in the world. Boat cruises, kayaking, and birdwatching are among other things to do. The island is entirely pedestrianised, so visitors can enjoy the tranquil, laid-back atmosphere with a relaxed 'island vibe' and freely wander the charming streets of Caye Caulker. Don't miss the opportunity to sample the fresh seafood on offer, swim in the azure waters, and immerse yourself in the Creole culture of the island.
