Kayaking:

Kayaking can be a peaceful, re-invigorating experience whether you greet the sun with a short early morning kayak or choose a week-long kayak adventure between islands. Inside the shallow fore reef, be on the lookout for fish, rays and dolphin or explore the intricate mangrove ecosystem for resident and migratory birds in the branches and the delicate seahorse in the root systems.

Coastal and island resorts offer kayaks for short excursions up the beach and around the islands while professional kayak outfitters offer multi-day packages which operate either from a single base camp or in island hopping fashion. Equipment, guides, cooks and diving are some of the service options with many kayak packages having extension options for fresh water excursions up river and a rainforest experience.

Move at our own pace to the rhythmic sound of your paddle slicing through aquamarine waters, the speck of a tropical island in the distance and cerulean skies marked by the effortless spiral of a Magnificent Frigate bird in the clouds above.

The Barrier Reef, which runs the full length of the Belizean coastline, is considered one of the richest marine ecosystems on earth. The 185 mile (300 km) long reef runs from 10 to 25 miles offshore, is the longest continuous reef in the Caribbean, and the second longest in the world. Along the Barrier Reef are over 225 cays, ranging from small, sand-fringed islands perched along the reef's edge, to larger islands of partially submerged mangroves.

Historically, ships avoided this area of the Caribbean because of inaccurate charts and the difficulty of navigating the shallow reef-strewn waters. Teeming with brilliantly colored fish, sea grass beds and patch reefs, the reef systems have not seen nearly the level of human impact as witnessed in Mexico to the north and Honduras to the south. We travel in the less developed southern regions of Belize's Barrier Reef, which remains a near-pristine marine ecosystem that is unparalleled in the Caribbean.
