100+ water visibility, a temperature
hovering around 80 degrees Fahrenheit and a barrier reef that makes
for calm waters is all you need to discover the enchanting underwater
world of the Caribbean Sea.
Belize is a Mecca for high sea enthusiasts. Close to our shores, an
array of grouper, snapper, jack and barracuda swim in abundance. The
deep waters off on Ambergris Caye's coral reef are home to sailfish,
marlin, bonito, pompano and many other species. Enjoy world-class diving
at Lighthouse Reef, Turneffe and the famous
Blue Hole, all within easy
reach on a day trip, or for an enchanting
experience just a short boat
ride away, Hol Chan Marine Reserve
with its teeming marine life.
But the wonder of Belize does not end with the underwater world. Belize
offers rainforests and jungles plentiful with unusual monkeys, jaguars,
birds and other creatures. Bordering Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico,
Belize also lays claim to some of the most spectacular Mayan Ruins in
the world, with many opportunities to learn and explore with well-trained
tour guides and archaeological experts.
Finally, Matachica itself, offers onsite activities for our guests pleasure,
including sailing, windsurfing, snorkeling, sea-kayaking while providing
the ideal home base for the many adventure tours available throughout
the country.
