Belize is well known as a world-class fishing destination, where serious anglers can experience fishing for the “Big 3” which are the prized Bonefish, Tarpon and the elusive Permit (all these fish are catch and release only).
On land, there’s many opportunities for exploration in Belize. Visit an ancient Mayan temple ruins, explore the multiple marine reserves, or visit a wildlife sanctuary. Forbes Magazine listed Belize as one of the top 5 birding destinations in the world, citing the lush tropical forests as a haven for the birds.
