About this experience
Begin your adventure at our main office in Caye Caulker, where the crew welcomes you, fits you with quality snorkeling gear, and gives a full safety briefing. Board a high-speed boat and cruise to your first stop at Tarpon Feeding Dock, where giant silver tarpons leap from the water to take snacks from your hand. Next, visit a manatee sighting area for the chance to swim with these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Continue to a sunken shipwreck and enjoy free time exploring the corals and marine life. Then snorkel the Hol Chan Marine Reserve with sea turtles, stingrays, eagle rays, tropical fish, and vibrant corals, with the option to swim through a small underwater cave. Relax at Conch Shell Bay with a Belizean lunch before heading to Shark Ray Alley for a safe swim with nurse sharks and stingrays. End with a free snorkel in a colorful coral garden.
