About this activity

Join our Team as we take you to enjoy a wonderful time in our outdoor office where we provide a detailed snorkeling Tour at two of the best sites anywhere in Belize. We do our best to extend to a 3rd snorkeling stop on our 3 hour tour. We arrive at the locations before the rush hour so you can enjoy abundance of Marine life.

The "Hol Chan Marine Reserve" and "Shark & Ray Alley" are the most famous sites near Ambergris Caye & home to more than 200 species of fish, Rays, pristine coral formations along with sea turtles, rays & much more.

"Shark & Ray Alley" offers a friendly but trilling experience with friendly Nurse Sharks, fishes & Southern Stingrays in their natural habitat.
