Whale Shark Experience
Boat ToursSnorkeling

Join us on an unforgettable adventure as we dive with the largest fish in the sea—whale sharks! Every year, during the full moons of March, April, May, and June, these gentle giants gather at Belize’s Gladden Spit Marine Reserve. Snorkelers and divers alike can witness this incredible sight while exploring one of the world’s most unique dive spots. Despite their size, whale sharks are harmless and even playful. You can safely swim alongside them as they feed on snapper eggs during their annual visit. Gladden Spit is one of the few places where you can experience this magical encounter, surrounded by schools of spawning fish. Pioneered by Brian Young Sr. of Seahorse Dive Shop, these expeditions have become a must-do for any diving enthusiast. And even if you don’t spot a whale shark, the dive is still unforgettable, with possible sightings of dolphins, reef sharks, and vibrant schools of fish. When to Visit? Plan your trip around the full moon in March, April, May, or June for the best chance to swim with these majestic creatures, with April and May offering peak opportunities. Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Belize Winter Escape

Belize was delightful we thoroughly enjoyed all the people that we met from drivers to tour guides to Hotel staff and just people we encountered along the way. Spending time both up in the jungle in the mountains and down on the coast was a wonderful contrast and I highly recommend doing both if possible. The weather was variable but over the time of our holiday we had opportunity to do all the things that we wanted, enjoy some tropical rain as well as some beautiful beach days The wildlife, history and scenery were spectacular. Both the lodge we stayed in and the hotel on the coast were well maintained with excellent, knowlegeable staff and good food My biggest negative would probably be that in being a less wealthy Nation their management of garbage and limited recycling capacity was quite noticeable in places.

Explore Belize Together

Megan’s family vacation in Belize blended adventure and relaxation for a memorable Caribbean getaway. They trekked from San Ignacio’s rainforest highlands to the Tikal ruins, then snorkeled with sharks and rays at Hol Chan Reef along Belize’s tropical coast. Friendly locals and knowledgeable guides shared Maya history and coastal traditions, leaving Megan’s family with a deeper appreciation for Belize’s vibrant heritage and natural wonders.

An Above & Beyond Birthday

Love the options— the hotels were spectacular. I enjoyed having a non-event day to hang out at pool and wall into town to see local events. Drivers were coordinated well, and they served well as tour guides. This country is beautiful, the people are so kind and generous.

We had an UnBelizable Time

We always put our trip together and make out own plans. This time, we went with Anywhere and let you make suggestions. So glad we did. It was really worth the extra expense to know that everything was under control and we had someone to call on should things not go as planned. BUT, everything went as planned and it was better than expected!
