Belize is also known to have the second largest Barrier Reef in the world, after Australia’s. Scuba divers and snorkelers have the luxury of spending time with over 500 species of tropical fish. On the islands in the country, tourists can enjoy their time kayaking, windsurfing, stand-up paddle boating, swimming, fishing or just lazing around. Belize is also a perfect destination for adventurers, as tourists can enjoy hiking in national parks, zip lining through the jungle canopy, and exploring caves.
