Great Blue Hole

The Great Blue Hole in Belize isn’t your typical jungle cenote—it’s something even more extraordinary. Located off the coast of Belize, this massive underwater sinkhole was once a limestone cave that collapsed and filled with seawater. Now, it’s a deep, perfectly round blue circle in the middle of the ocean—and one of the most iconic cenotes in the world.

While you won’t find jungle vines or freshwater swimming here, it’s a dream for scuba divers, snorkelers, and anyone who loves a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Home to crystal-clear waters, ancient cave formations, and ocean life like reef sharks and sea turtles, it’s a true natural wonder.

If you’re exploring Belize’s wild beauty, the Great Blue Hole is a must-see—whether by boat, dive, or scenic flyover. It’s the Caribbean’s version of a cenote, and it’s unforgettable.
