The coast of Belize is home to the world’s largest sinkhole. The Great Blue Hole is one of the world’s most popular natural destinations and seeing the hole in real life is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you are planning on taking a trip to the Blue Hole, you will need to take a boat ride from the mainland and onto one of the islands. The Lighthouse Reef is particularly popular and offers many activities in addition to providing a look at the Blue Hole.
If you want to fully experience the Blue Hole, the best way to do so is by booking a scuba diving experience. In addition to getting a glimpse of the world’s largest sinkhole, you will encounter all kinds of marine life including nurse sharks, reef sharks, and blacktip sharks.
If swimming with sharks isn’t really your thing and you’d rather see the Blue Hole from above, you can book a helicopter tour from one of the surrounding islands. You can expect to fork out around $1000 for the experience but it will be an experience you will never forget.
