Blue Hole:
The Blue Hole is situated about 80km east of Belize City near to Lighthouse Reef. It was made famous by Jacques Costeau and is now a protected natural monument. From the air, you can see the depth of the water (135m) through the change in colour from turquoise to deep azure blue. This is a spectacular photo opportunity, something you can’t see from the ground. Caves underlie the entire reef and make for some of the most amazing sights from the sky.

Barrier Reef:
This is the world’s second largest Barrier Reef. From the air you will see the shipwrecks of several ships that have been marooned on the reef. Flying over Half Moon Caye you can see the lighthouse built in 1820 and may even be lucky enough to see the booby birds. Here a total of 98 different species of birds have been recorded. Your tour returns to San Pedro via the Southern Turneffe Islands and up along the main Reef passing over the main islands of northern Belize.
