Turneffe

Located 25 miles east of Belize City, Turneffe Atoll is a discrete group of Cayes surrounded by its own living coral reef. Approximately 30 miles long and 10 miles wide, Turneffe is one of the largest and most biologically diverse coral atoll in the Western Hemisphere. You will be able to chance upon a number of threatened and endangered species, including the American Saltwater Crocodile, Antillean Manatee, and several species of sea turtles as you work, snorkel and dive in these pristine waters.
