Kayaking
Though Belize is a relatively small country, with very low-lying land, it receives plenty of rain during the winter season, and supports 20 major river systems and smaller streams. These many waterways are potential outdoor adventures for the kayak and canoe lovers. This is an excellent way to watch birds and view wildlife along the banks. You will also experience the flow of human life in Belize as the rivers of the country are still major gathering places for fishing, cleaning and transportation. |
Fishing
Belize is a Mecca for those interested in fishing. All kinds of fishing - spin, fly, trolling - can be experienced all year long, and the abundance of game fish guarantees excellent sport. The estuaries, inlets and mouths to the many rivers are known for their tarpon, snook and jacks. The lagoons and grass flats are known for the bonefish, permit and barracuda. The coral reefs support grouper, snapper, jacks and barracuda while the deeper waters off the drop off are home to sailfish, marlin, bonito and pompano.
Fishing is great all along the coast of Belize, from the Port Honduras and Punta Icacos lagoon of Toledo to Rocky Point on Ambergris Caye. Any of the many rivers, which empty into the Caribbean along Belize’s coasts, can guarantee a daily catch. Most of your guides and boatmen speak English so learning where and what to fish will be no problem. Be sure to ask your hotel manager to cook up your daily catch. Wind Surfing Belize is an ideal place for windsurfing and even a beginner can take the first lesson from the waters here. The water is clear and you can see fish and stingrays as you sail. It is usual to see even the dolphins as you sail. Runs of 10 miles plus are possible on either tack; perfect for practicing water starts and carve gybes. The windy season is from February through April.This article was viewed 1053 time(s)
