Belize’s Barrier Reef, One of the Best Snorkel Spots in the World

Placencia Belize Tours

According to the psychologist Todd Kashdan, early man pursued wonder and found it in every new discovery. As a result, our earliest ancestors loved nothing more than playing with bones, rocks, turtle shells, and other beachfront finds, and encountering magnificent mountains and caves often triggered pure joy. For ancient Mayas settling in the area now known as Belize, one of the most revered offshore sites was the Belize Barrier Reef.

Fast forward a few thousand years. Like those people, spotting this magnificent aquatic marvel sprawling along the Caribbean Sea and the Belize coastline is impressive. Some say they feel euphoric. That’s what happens when encountering the second longest barrier reef on Planet Earth; a site so huge, astronauts see it from outer space. How to enjoy every aspect of the reef? Opt for a snorkeling adventure along this magnificent coral masterpiece. It’s your ticket to an undersea world that could change forever the way to see nature.

Sojourn as close to the reef as you can

It stands to reason why you would want to be close to the reef during your Belize stay. Who wouldn’t love awakening to the sun coming up over the reef before a full day of exploring a fanciful world that’s just below the surface? Experienced snorkelers recommend Laru Beya located on the Placencia peninsula for more than just its proximity to the reef.

This intimate resort pairs comfort with over-the-top customer service and since it’s a small boutique property, you won’t have to stand in queues to dine, undertake multiple reef visits or enjoy the resort’s lush amenities like the freshwater infinity swimming pool and private beachfront. Laru Beya supplies kayaks and a small Hobie Cat sailboat to those eager to try them out and who can’t use a refreshing massage after a full day of exploring the reef?

This is the package you would invent if it didn’t already exist

Visitors know this experience as the “Belize Barrier Reef Snorkeling tour”. You’ll come to know it as the tour that made you realize that life – and all of the creatures sharing the planet’s waters — are precious.

What will you see? Coral Gardens. Trumpetfish, angelfish, damselfish, and parrotfish. Amazing turtles so big, you could ride them if they permitted it! This 20 miles of underwater canyons and nearby atolls and cayes that are part of the reef system is your laboratory of wonder and when you return to Laru Beya at the end of a euphoric day, not only can you take advantage of all of the resort’s amenities, but since gourmet meals and lots of extras come with our Belize all inclusive packages, opening your wallet is optional since everything is pre-paid.

The Belize Barrier Reef calls and you must answer! This splendid Belize snorkeling vacation offers an ideal celebration of newfound freedom. The cost is as attractive as the beauty of the reef itself. Come to the world’s best snorkeling location. You’ll be glad you said yes the moment you arrive.
