Belize

San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize, May 2 – 9, 2026

We’ll be staying at the renowned Ramon’s Village Resort https://ramons.com/, diving with the onsite dive operation, called Ramon’s Village Divers, the oldest and one of the most respected dive shops in Belize.

Belize is a legendary diving destination, as well as a draw for eco-adventure land touring … Wake up where the Caribbean meets the world’s second-largest barrier reef. On Ambergris Caye, adventure begins the moment your feet touch the sand … and it doesn’t stop when you leave the water.

Descend into crystal-clear blue waters at the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, drift along vibrant coral walls, or take the plunge at the iconic Great Blue Hole. Warm waters, gentle currents and plentiful marine life make Ambergris Caye a dream for both first-time divers and seasoned pros.

Snorkelling trips to sites like Shark Ray Alley and Mexican Rocks add to the fun.

For adventure beyond the reef, local land and water tours are available, as well as full-day trips to the mainland to explore lush jungles, ancient Maya ruins and winding mangrove rivers. You can zip-line through the canopy, cave-tube beneath stalactites, or visit local villages rich in culture, music, and flavour.

San Pedro is a fun, laid back place to explore, with many restaurants, and is a short walk from the resort … or rent a golf cart, which is a main mode of transportation on the Caye. After a day of adventure, unwind with fresh seafood, sunset cocktails and the easy rhythm of island life in San Pedro. Friendly faces, ocean breezes and barefoot charm come standard.
