Excellent diving can be found all along the string of offshore cayes that dot the country's barrier reef, with a majority of operators and hotels located at the northern end of the archipelago, particularly on Ambergris Caye. Other favorites include: Turneffe Island Atoll, Lighthouse Reef Atoll, Glovers Reef Atoll and the virtually unknown Sapodillas. Topside attractions include several quality Mayan ruins, rainforests, jungle rivers, jungle wildlife and a widespread eco-lodge infrastructure.
