Explore the pristine Northern coast of Ambergris Caye, with amazing blue waters and beautiful views along the way. While we start our morning sail, we serve you fresh fruit and homemade Belizean meat-pies. In the end of 2015 Mexico Rocks became a part of the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, to protect its rich marine life and precious corals. We do our first stop for snorkeling there and then continue to our favorite spot - a shallow area close by the reef, that is just like a natural pool (great for non-swimmers as well)! Here we make a break to relax in the shallow warm water, while the crew prepares our famous Belizean buffet on-board. Traditional dishes like stewed chicken and rice and beans with our Captain’s secret recipe BBQ fish! After lunch we return South doing a second snorkel stop at Tres Cocos. Open bar with local rum, vodka, gin, soft drinks and juices is included. Try the specials, rum punch and "panty rippers"!

Mexico Rocks
Mexico Rocks is an area of huge coral heads scattered all over this snorkeling spot - making it look like a Mexican sombrero, as some say the name comes from. Since Mexico Rocks became a part of the protected Hol Chan Marine Reserve in November 2015, it’s become famous for its prominent amount of marine life, and the coral formations has been flourishing.

The trip and crew was great. The guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. Got to see a barracuda up close and swim with the rays and nurse sharks. The food and drinks were great too.

Amazing trip all the way around. The captain and on-board staff were friendly and ready to meet your every need. The trip to Mexico Rocks included a second stop where you swam with nurse sharks and stingrays. Great drinks were flowing and the lunch provided was excellent.

The crew was excellent and very welcoming to all aboard. They even made the folks who were nervous about getting into the water feel safe.

We had Anna & Charlie. They were very personable & knowledgeable. They both knew how to keep a light playful mood. Having excellent jokes, keeping a drink in hand, and making sure whatever we needed was handled. They were very helpful to point out things like sharks, stingrays, puffer fish, turtles and other native marine life. I was extremely satisfied with our snorkel time and our new boat mate family.

We had an amazing day with Catamaran Belize! Our guide and captain were amazing. The food was very tasty and plentiful. The drinks kept coming! Kudos to this company for making this happen for my daughter and I. We had a great time. I recommend this tour company! 10/10

My family of 4, including 2 older teens, had an amazing time today with Anna, Charlie and Eric! The catamaran was perfectly appointed to meet our needs, from a bathroom, to endless drinks (with and without alcohol). We all had the best snorkeling experience we've ever had. Mexican Rocks was a superb place to see turtles, corals, and so many beautiful fish. The ride there and back was comfortable and relaxing, and lunch was delicious. Our favorite part was swimming with the sharks and rays! Thank you so much for a perfect outing. Absolutely worth every penny.

Holy Cow!! What an experience!! The crew of Catamaran Belize is amazing, thoughtful, knowledgeable, helpful and personable! I could not have asked for more!! Attention to detail and going the extra mile is such a fantastic combination! Ana, Charlie & Claudio MADE the whole experience super-special!! Snorkeling at Mexico Rocks was better than other excursions I was on. AND the Sting Ray dive was very special!! Will definitely go again!!!! 5 PLUS Stars!!!

Catamaran Belize was awesome! The boat was large enough to easily accommodate our group of 12+ with room to maneuver and was well kept. We stopped at a few different snorkeling spots and saw sharks, sting rays, and even a couple dolphins on the way there. Charlie and Anna were knowledgeable, hospitable and quite funny. I will definitely book with them again the next time I visit Belize!
