Half Day Reef Snorkel and Wildlife Tour

About this experience

Learn from Capt. Nolan and Noble, fourth generation Belizeans who's family has lived and fished in the same seas you will tour. Cookies joins the team to provide assistance, meaning there is two people in the water at all times. See the reef and island from the eyes of the local fisherman. Noble and Nolan impart generations of knowledge about the area while insuring a fun and safe experience. The tour makes stops to see crocodiles, manatees, marine birds, turtles and many beautiful tropical fish. Some tours even spot dolphins! The team doesn't rush through the tour stops, but allows your trip to progress at your own pace. A great trip for young and old with an accommodating team. Please let us know any concerns, physical or dietary when booking.
