Belize is one of the best tropical travel destinations for outdoor-loving family travellers. There are outdoor adventures galore from snorkelling and paddling the Belize Barrier Reef to gliding through the rainforest on a zipline and hiking to secluded waterfalls and swimming in natural pools. Belize is a family travel playground and is an English speaking, child-friendly destination.
Paddle board expert and instructor Norm Hann and guests recently joined us on the Coral Islands SUP trip. We loved following their adventures as they explored the Southwater Caye Marine Reserve on Belize’s Southern Barrier Reef by paddleboard. We wanted to share some of their awesome videos and images in our latest blog post!

In March 2018, The Government of Belize committed to phasing out the use of single-use plastics such as plastic shopping bags, drinking straws, Styrofoam, plastic food utensils, clamshells, flat plates and cups.
On Jan 14, 2020, the Government of Belize announced the phase-out plan to ban single-use plastics is now officially under the legislation. This is an important and positive step for Belize to enact this to reduce pollution and protect Belize.
