The Great Blue Hole found in Belize is one of the world’s natural wonders. This massive sinkhole found in the Caribbean Sea can be viewed from a distance. Scenic flights to view this natural wonder take off from Belize City, San Pedro, and Caye Caulker. This provides a stunning view of the reef system, blue waters, as well as the perfect circle of the Blue Hole.
Flights operated by Tropic Air, Maya Island Air, and Astrum Helicopters take around an hour. You will fly around the Blue Hole several times at low altitude to take photographs before flying over the reefs, islands, and shipwrecks. This takes place between December to May when the skies are clear due to the dry season.
It is advisable that you book in advance, given that these tours tend to fill up. Usually, these tours cost about $300 per person. You may find these small planes a tad intimidating at first, but these tour operators are known to have an impressive safety record.
