INLAND BLUE HOLE, SAINT HERMAN’S CAVE, AND THE BELIZE ZOO:

Depart Black Rock Lodge and drive down to the Hummingbird Highway to the Blue Hole National Park. Hike through jungle and into Saint Herman’s Cave. See albino catfish and albino crabs in a subterranean stream then hike or drive to the Inland Blue Hole. The Inland Blue Hole is an artesian well with azure crystalline water flowing to the surface. The blue hole is cool and the swimming is revitalizing. The stream flows a short distance where it then enters a cave and goes subterranean. After exploring these natural wonders, head to the Belize Zoo for even more natural wonders. The Belize Zoo has a large selection of Belize’s animals and is one of the most ecologically sound zoo’s in the world. Most of the animals were either pets, pests, or found injured and rescued. From crocodiles to kinkajous, from jabirus to jaguars, and from scarlet macaws to stinky peccaries, the Belize Zoo has them all in jungle-filled enclosures. No visit to Belize would be complete without a stop here. When done, return to Black Rock Lodge.
Tour duration: 3/4 day (does not include entrance fees or lunch).
