Itinerary and highlights
Snorkeling at the Blue Hole gives you a front-row seat to its massive circular shape, with sheer limestone walls dropping into deep sapphire-blue water. From the surface, snorkelers can explore the shallow reef area, which is alive with colorful corals, sponges, and tropical reef fish. You’ll often see schools of angelfish, butterflyfish, parrotfish, and sometimes even reef sharks cruising the edge. While divers go deep inside, snorkelers enjoy the unique view of the Blue Hole’s dramatic outline and the vibrant marine life that thrives around its circumference.
Half Moon Caye is a true gem of the Lighthouse Reef Atoll, both above and below the water. Snorkelers drift over vibrant coral gardens filled with hard and soft corals, sea fans, and sponges, while spotting schools of angelfish, groupers, and snappers weaving through the reef. It’s also one of the best places to see eagle rays gliding gracefully and the occasional sea turtle passing by. On land, the island is a protected sanctuary, home to a large colony of red-footed boobies and magnificent frigatebirds. Between the reef and the island’s bird sanctuary, Half Moon Caye offers a mix of stunning marine life and a chance to step onto a pristine Caribbean island with rich natural beauty.
