I want to make memories all over the world

Located off the coast of Belize, the Great Blue Hole is near the center of Lighthouse Reef: a small atoll, 70 km from the mainland.

How to get there:

Even in good weather, venturing out on a boat into the open ocean towards the Great Blue Hole can be a little rough. You can book a ride from Ambergris Caye or Placencia. The journey takes 3-4 hours, and most travel agencies will arrange include snorkeling and diving, while some will simply offer a boat tour. You can even book a plane trip to fly over the hole!
