National Geographic Quest anchored near Laughing Bird Caye National Park. This park received protected area status in 1991. Around the year 1996, the Belize Barrier Reserve System was included in the World Heritage List, with Laughing Bird Caye National Park designated as one of the premiere protected areas within the World Heritage Site.
We landed at a delicate Belizean isle that stands on an elongated ridge or “faro” of reef. The uniqueness of this structure contributes to both the abundance and variety of coral habitats and marine life in the area. Our activities for this day were comprised of diving, snorkeling, and kayaking. Park rangers welcomed guests as they arrived and entered what was a long, lovely day in Belizean paradise.
