Snorkeling

A full day tour starting at 10:30am. First stop Hol Chan Marine Reserve, Mayan for “little channel”. Protected as a marine sanctuary hosting a dazzling array of tropical fish. Next stop Shark n Ray Alley, where you will see up close and friendly nurse sharks and stingrays. Before the third stop we visit San Pedro, where we can have lunch at one of the many beachfront or side street restaurants (not included). Time to walk around and enjoy San Pedro. On our way back to Caye Caulker we make one more snorkel stop at the Coral Gardens. Mazes of coral to swim around and tropical fish everywhere. We travel to the North point of Caye Caulker cruise along the mangroves before reaching Caye Caulker around 4:30pm

A 3 hour morning or afternoon tour to the local reef. Three different stops, one being Shark and Sting Ray City where you will see up close and friendly sting rays and shy nurse sharks. You’ll be dodging around brain corals and elk horn coral while plentiful marine life swim eagerly to get out of your way.

Made famous by it's beauty and Jack Cousteau. Half Moon Caye and Blue Hole is now protected as a Natural monument and is technically a "karst-eroded sinkhole". The Blue Hole is 1000 feet in diameter and 408 feet deep which opens out into a complex network of caves and crevices, complete with stalactites and stalagmites. It was formed over a million years ago when Lighthouse Reef was a sizable island - or even part of the mainland.

The rim of the Blue Hole is blanketed with various species of brightly colored corals and sponges which is ideal for snorkeling.

Half Moon Caye is the second site of the day. We snorkel the gently sloping sandy bottom dotted with patches of sea grass. Here commonly seen are stingrays, barracudas, hog snappers, jacks and yellow tail snappers. At 40 feet deep the sandy slopes joins a wall of pinnacles covered with a rich variety of coral life. We zigzag through the endless pinnacles until the end of the snorkeling trip. The marine life and the coral formations in this area are simply amazing. We visit Half Moon Caye National Monument where we provide lunch and you can visit the only nesting area of the red footed booby birds in Belize and next to Galapagos Islands (Blue footed Booby Birds).

Long Caye is the third site of the day called the Aquarium. Large coral sponges and plentiful marine life. A great way to end a spectacular day of diving at Lighthouse Reef.
