Description

See the Great Blue Hole from the air on a private sightseeing flight in a Cessna 206 (5 passenger seats). You meet your pilot at Belize City Municipal Airport, get a short safety briefing and walk to the aircraft.

Once airborne, the pilot flies a route over the Belize Barrier Reef, the Turneffe Atoll, Lighthouse Reef and the Great Blue Hole, circling it so both sides get a view, and the cayes on the way back, adjusted on the day for weather and air-traffic control. The whole aircraft is booked for your group only, up to 5 passengers, and everyone gets a window seat. Headsets let you talk to the pilot and ask about what you see below.

Bring your phone or camera: the windows give great angles for photos and video. After landing there is time for photos with the aircraft.

Flights are operated by a licensed local air operator. Flying depends on the weather: if the flight is cancelled for weather or safety reasons, you choose a new date or get a full refund.
