Come enjoy the Caribbean and much more from this beautiful boutique resort! Belize Ocean Club is the perfect location for your next family vacation or romantic getaway.
The Suites offered at Belize Ocean Club have all the comforts of home: full kitchens, living rooms, and flat screen TVs. They also have private patios and balconies for you to get some fresh air or take in the stunning views around you.
And you won’t need to leave this resort in order to enjoy fine cuisine or quench your thirst. Delight in breakfast, lunch, and dinner at The Ocean Club Bar & Grill. Sip your favorite cocktail at the Maya Beach Bar, located right on the Caribbean Sea and complete with a swim-up bar. Or visit the Lagoon Restaurant for appetizers, entrees, or desserts while watching the sun set.
When you do decide to venture off property, there will be several tours available for you to choose from. Explore ancient Mayan ruins or visit the world’s only Jaguar Preserve. Trek through the Cockscomb Basin and enjoy a refreshing swim beneath a beautiful waterfall. Or explore the world’s second largest reef while snorkeling and scuba diving.

The following excursions are offered at Belize Ocean Club:

            SCUBA DIVING
Belize is home to the second largest barrier reef in the world, making it a popular destination for SCUBA Diving. Favorite destinations include Laughing Bird Caye, Silk Cayes, Glover’s Reef, and Columbus Reef. And in Belize you can sometimes be accompanied by the Whale Shark, but don’t worry – Belize is known for having friendly sharks!
Packing List: Bring an under-water camera. The disposable ones work well and you will love looking back on your colorful Caribbean pics.
SNORKELING
Belize Ocean Club offers 20 locations for snorkeling, including the Sapodilla Cayes. Just a short boat ride, and then you’ll find yourself in the most beautiful shallow waters. The Caribbean is perfect for snorkeling if you have never been. And your group is sure to love the beautiful coral formations and marine life.
Packing List: Snorkeling all day can leave you with a mighty sunburn, so come prepared! Bring sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher. And if you have a rash-guard, it will also protect you from the sun (a T-shirt would also help).
FISHING
Whether you enjoy deep sea, fly, trolling, or bone fishing – Belize Ocean Club has you covered! And they offer multiple locations for you to catch tuna, group, snapper, and other species. Once you’re done for the day, take your catch back to the resort and the Chefs will be happy to prepare a fresh-fish dinner for you!
Packing List: Sunscreen is always necessary, but don’t forget your favorite fishing hat for this excursion!
JAGUAR PRESERVE & COCKSCOMB BASIN
Hike deep into the rainforests of Belize. Take in the views of Victoria’s Peak, the highest in the country. Learn to track Jaguars and keep an eye out for exotic bird species. This tour will be fun and educational as you learn about different flora and fauna found in Belize and the tropical ecology.
Packing List: Wear comfortable hiking shoes. This tour isn’t flip-flop friendly.
MAYAN TEMPLES
An indigenous Maya from the region will guide you on this excursion. Learn their traditions and explore their history at Lubaantn and Nim Li Punit. At the end of the trip, you’ll get to explore caves at Blue Creek or Rio Blanco Waterfalls. Rio Blanco is a 15 ft waterfall that pours into a deep swimming hole. This is a popular jumping spot for thrill seekers – but use caution as the climb up can be very slick!
Packing List: At the end of the day, you’ll want your swimsuit so you can splash around. Bring it along or just wear it under your clothes – Belize is as casual as it gets.
MONKEY RIVER
Running from the Mayan Mountains to the Caribbean Sea is the Monkey River. This river is named for the Guatemalan Black Howler Monkey that lives in the region. Watch for these and other animals along your cruise! This special conservation area is also home to toucans, herons, manatees, and crocodiles. The Monkey River cruise is one of Belize Ocean Club’s most popular tours and is sure to please the whole family!
Packing List: Bring along a set of binoculars to get a closer view of the birds and animals.
