History was made on Dec 2, 2018 when multiple submersibles dove to the bottom of the deepest sinkhole in the world, the 407ft/124m deep Blue Hole in Belize. Located in Lighthouse Reef, approx 70 kms off the coast of Belize, the Great Blue Hole is part of the Barrier Reef Reserve System, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We're delighted to share this article which appeared recently in the Perceptive Travel online magazine. Travel writer Timothy Scott Leffel went on our Glover's Reef Adventure trip in March 2018.
Read all about Tim's adventures staying at our Glover's Reef Basecamp on Southwest Caye. He packed in a lot of adventure during his stay in Belize including hand line fishing, snorkeling by flashlight, kayak sailing and more!
This weekend in the coastal town of Dangriga, (where our Belize office is located), there will be lively celebrations on every street corner. The weekend will be filled with parades, live music, drumming, dancing and traditional Garifuna food. On the morning of November 19th, people will cheer on the re-enactment of the arrival of the first Garifuna in Belize.
November is a wonderful month to visit Belize. Although the rainy season still lingers in early November, by the end of the month the dry season has often arrived.
Find out more about visiting Belize in November, including information on events, weather and some fascinating mythology on Huracan, the Mayan God of Storm.

Belize is well known as a winter vacation destination. It’s also one of the best Central American countries to visit year-round including the fall. During the fall, you can expect rain showers, especially in the early morning and at night, but most days are sunny with warm temperatures. Daytime highs average of around 84°F (29°C) and lows of 75°F (24°C). This fall, forget about the chilly air and enjoy affordable prices on the ultimate Belize autumn getaway.
Maya World Extension - Day Trip to Lamanai
By Jack Wilde
The New River drifts lazily north, a few miles west of Crooked Tree on its way to Corozal Bay. We board a boat just outside Orange Walk Town, and head upriver towards the ancient Mayan site known as Lamanai.
