I will be on Ambergris in the middle of November and only for one day. I will come from Xcalak(Mexico) by a bout. Really, I don't know what I can do there for only one day... go to see sharks and swim with them, or may be it is possible to get a small plane and see the Blue Hole.. How far away from AG is it? How much can cost a flight to see Blue Hole?

A privately chartered plane is always possible, though you'd have to arrange it ahead of time. Expect it to cost not-a-small fortune. Although Astrum Helicopters do offer sightseeing rides - see whether they may have one when you want to go.

There are a lot of good images of it from the air, some on this site I think. With your time frame of 1 day, you should go snorkeling in the Hol Chan preserve, it's close and marvelous. pm elbert and set it up.


I hope that someday we can put aside our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.

skippy, I have seen a lot of good images of Blue Hole on the Internet, but I would like to see it by my own eyes.
Also, I thought, a flight would take not more then one hour, and after that I can see Hol Chan preserve. How far away from AG is this preserve? Do I need to have a special permition to snorkel there? Do any bout can able take me there? How deep is there?
I do not swim well, and I am not afraid to be in shallow water only. Also, how much can cost a trip to Hol Chan preserve? and flight above Blue Hole?
JZB - thanks for emeil address.

I couldn't send a letter to address which I got from JZB.
my mail said that the address doesn't exist.
I am writing from Russian email address, and may be
it is a reason.
Please, if anyone knows how much it costs, help me!!!
I don't know English well enough to find information. I am looking for any info, which will help me to plan my trip, I will be a short time in Mexico-Belize.
thank you!

Astrum Helicopters website is http://www.astrumhelicopters.com/. I can't find the website for Javier's Flying Service (which operates fixed wing aircraft) but http://belizegateway.com/db_clients/2234.php gives info.

We don't know how many of you there are, nor when you want to make the trip. Why don't you contact these people directly - they will understand your English problem and will help you. My first choice would be Astrum (email: [email protected]), as in a helicopter you can see much more than from an aeroplane. I don't know the cost and it isn't shown on their website, but Astrum will obviously be able to tell you if you email them.

Astrum made a superb video of scenes around Belize taken from their helicopters, and you can watch it on the web here http://www.astrumhelicopters.com/videos.htm.
