Accommodation in Ambergris Caye, especially around San Pedro, combines the island’s relaxed tropical vibe with a wider range of comforts and styles. You’ll find everything from colourful colonial-style buildings and rustic beachfront cabanas to modern resorts with rooftop pools and full-service spas. While the island has welcomed more development than its neighbour, Caye Caulker, much of it remains low-rise and designed to complement the tropical setting, with sandy paths, palm-lined beac...| Thoroughly Travel
If you’re planning to travel between San Pedro on Ambergris Caye and its neighbouring island of Caye Caulker, you’ll find you have two choices: plane and boat. While flying is tempting, it's more expensive and no faster. Water taxis (ferries) run frequently throughout the day, offering a quick and scenic way to hop between these two popular Belizean islands. At only 20 miles and a smooth 30-minute ferry journey apart, it's easy to take a day trip from San Pedro to Caye Caulker or vice ver...| Thoroughly Travel
A deep blue marine sinkhole in the middle of the turquoise-coloured Belize Barrier Reef, the Blue Hole isn't just one of the best things to do in Belize but is the main reason many travellers visit this small Central American country in the first place.

Another option, flying over the Blue Hole, provides panoram...| Thoroughly Travel

Swimming with sharks and stingrays in Shark Ray Alley is one of the hottest attractions in Belize. It's a small part of Hol Chan Marine Reserve, which is situated in the wider and incredibly diverse Belize Barrier Reef. You've probably seen snorkellers surrounded by gentle nurse sharks and giant southern stingrays on social media, but many people don't know it can be unethical. Unfortunately, a lot of tour companies feed the marine life, encouraging visitors to touch the animals, which can ha...| Thoroughly Travel
