Discover the highlights in the area on this exclusive "best of tour" that includes the most requested by our guests! We depart later to let you sleep in, avoid the crowds, and see the sunset at the end of the tour.
We start with snorkeling at Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley. Hol Chan has the largest variety of species to be seen in the area and is often compared to an aquarium, while at Shark Ray Alley you get to experience a close encounter with nurse-sharks and stingrays. Watch from the boat or swim with them!
We then serve our famous Belizean buffet lunch on-board. Traditional dishes like stewed chicken and rice and beans with our Captain’s secret recipe BBQ fish! After lunch, we stop at the neighbor island Caye Caulker for approx. 1 hour of free time to explore the island, followed by a relaxed sunset cruise back to San Pedro, with ceviche being served. Open bar with local rum, vodka, gin, soft drinks and juices is included. Try the specials, rum punch and "panty rippers"!

Hol Chan Marine Reserve
Hol Chan is Mayan for "little channel" and is a natural break in the reef, which has always been a very productive fishing area with abundant marine life. It is open to the sea beyond the reef, so allows marine creatures to travel from the outside of the reef to the inside and vice versa. It became the first marine reserve in the entire country of Belize back in 1987 and this have led to the species to re-generate and the corals of growing unharmed. This snorkeling area has the greatest variety of marine life and coral, compared to being an "underwater zoo" - you have the chance to see all kinds of corals, fishes and even sea turtles! Over 160 species of fish and forty types of coral have been recorded in the area. The snorkeling here is minimum 45 minutes.

What an amazing day spent on the water. The boat was so comfy and fitted with cup holders and padded seating perfect for lounging and enjoying the sun. The staff was so kind and friendly. Jose, Anna and Eric were all terrific. Lunch was delicious. The afternoon snack so nice during the sunset. Snorkeling was incredible. We saw so many beautiful sea creatures. I can not recommend this tour enough. It is a full day but every moment of it was so enjoyable.

We had an amazing time. Jose was hilarious and made us feel safe. We will definitely tell any friend traveling to San Pedro to use this company for their snorkeling experience.

A must do when visiting San Pedro! The hosts were top notch and the snorkeling was adventurous. We will definitely do this again when returning to San Pedro. We enjoyed the snorkeling, food, drinks, and boat ride. Absolutely nothing negative to say.

Reviews are all perfect, so I booked this tour. Couldn't have been happier. Anna is the best tour guide around. The amount of time in the water is perfect, not too long, not too short. The food was great, as was the service. Would definitely do it again. Boat wasn't crowded at ll. Great tour!
