FULL DAY REEF SNORKELING

Snorkel the famous Hol Chan coral reef (Mayan for “little channel”) at the southern tip of Ambergris Caye, Belize’s oldest marine reserve.

This marine excursion includes the must-see snorkeling destinations of Hol Chan Marine Reserve, Shark Ray Alley, and Coral Gardens. Each providing a unique snorkeling experience, you will experience an undersea world teeming with colorful coral and fish of every shape and size.

Enjoy the vibrant example of the marine diversity provided by the reef and warm Caribbean waters. Explore the nooks and crevices for eels, angelfish, and grouper or spot the many snappers, green sea turtles, and stingrays.

Shark Ray Alley is an intimate swimming and snorkeling experience with sedentary nurse sharks, stingrays, and horse-eye jacks. A tour wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Coral Gardens, a secluded and shallow snorkeling spot with unusual and colorful coral formations.

A full-day adventure allows you to leisurely snorkel each location, lounge on the catamaran deck, enjoy a locally prepared lunch, and receive personalized attention and instruction from your captain and guides.

This tour is available for all snorkeling levels of experience from beginner to advanced. The guides accompany you in the water to point out fish and other marine life while making this one of the greatest experiences of your life.

Our spacious catamarans are equipped with sun and shade areas, washrooms, changing areas, and fresh water rinsing stations as you emerge from the ocean.

WANDERLUST recognizes the importance and value of our marine life and delicate ecosystem. Our guides will educate you on how to best enjoy and protect this beautiful environment.

Amazing. Great boat, guides and experience. Our guide, Juan, was incredibly helpful and kind. The guides were accommodating, fun and informative. Boat was very nice and spacious. Would definitely recommend it. Lunch and beverage were provided along with post snorkel rum punch!

This crew is fantastic!! I can’t think of one thing that could have been better about this trip. We saw everything we set out for (manatees, sharks, turtles, rays) and the crew took such great attention to all of our needs and safety. The boat itself was great with all of the amenities you need. The food was outstanding, both the lunch and the ceviche, and of course the loads of rum punch. These guys will make your day as best as it can possibly be, and they also take very good care to be environmentally friendly. I would not hesitate to do any tour with them!

Me and my girlfriend booked a last minute catamaran tour to hol Chan, we stopped and swam up close to the manatee, then swam with the sharks, and then saw many spotted eagle rays at hol Chan. The whole experience was amazing, we felt very lucky to be on the boat we were on when pulling up to these locations and seeing other tour companies and the people all crammed together. The boat was very large and luxurious for a very reasonable price. Would recommend to anyone.
