 We LOVE to take people snorkeling on one of the largest and most pristine reefs in the world. And you already know who your guides are. Our pictures are on the top left of this page and we do every trip personally. The DIFFERENCE with us is Personal and Private service with no rigid schedules and NO CROWDS! JUST YOUR GROUP ON THE BOAT. We never mix groups.Our boat is designed for easy entry and exits into the water with our special ladder.   We enjoy the excitement we see on peoples faces when they meet the wildlife.
Another difference is that we do not own a dive shop. Our business comes from the internet, emails, return customers, business and referrals from past customers and people that find us on chat lines sites such as Cruise Critic Trip advisor magazine. Recently we were told by a guest that we were found in Lonely Planet magazine and another that found us on Travel Magazine. If we did own a dive shop we would be like everyone else. Because we work alone and are not tied to a dive shop we can offer a wide variety of experiences and taylor snorkel trips to your needs and desires or even to those with special needs and not just doing the standard trips everyone else does.

Hol Chan Marine Park and Shark Ray Alley (1/2 Day)
Please Visit the PHOTO BALLERY


Belize Hol Chan Marine Park and Shark Ray Alley



Belize Snorkeling
The Fish are fed here and not afraid of you. Close encounters are the norm. There's a variety of fish....to many species to list. You can expect to see large Groupers, Snappers, perhaps Eagle Rays, multitudes of small beautifully colored fish. There is at lot of life in this reserve. Hol Chan is a natural break in the reef and as result attracts a wide variety of marine life.
Shark Ray Alley is a historic location where local fishermen cleaned their catch of the day. This started the marine life hanging around the boats for scraps. They still do today as we feed them there.
Mexico Rocks (1/2 day)
Mexico Rocks is 7 Miles north of San Pedro Town center. It is a large coral area close to the reef. You can expect to see nice corals there as well as a variety of smaller reef fish. Dolphins come through on occasion as do Eagle Rays and StingRays. Because it is further from town it is generally less busy there. Many times we take our customers right up to the reef after they are done at Mexico Rocks for a bonus. Many have appreciated this in the past. Snorkeling right on the reef is interesting. In many areas you can actually stand on a sandy bottom.
Cruising the Reef (half day)
We think that this is great fun. 2 stops somewhere on the reef a little more secluded that the Marine Parks. We just go to the reef and drive along until we find an interesting spot. We anchor the boat in a sandy area and hop in to see what is there. We must confess that we are starting to find some favorite spots though. These trips usually find us alone on the reef and that is nice.
Coral Forest (half day)
Coral Forest is a large patch of coral in the vicinity of Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley. Coral Forest is combined on this half day trip with either Hol Chan Marine Reserve cut or Shark Ray. You choose.
 
FULL Day Trips (in the pink portion below) All run from 9:00 am to about 4:00 pm
Cruising the Reef (full day)



Fun in the boat

 

Belize-Caye Caulker

We think that this is great fun. We just go to the reef and drive along until we find an interesting spot. We anchor the boat in a sandy area and hop in to see what is there. We must confess that we are starting to find some favorite spots though. These trips usually find us alone on the reef and that is nice.We do 3 stops with lunch in a restaurant on the oceanfront between the 2nd and the 3rd stop (each buys their own).
HOL Chan Reserve, Shark Ray Alley, Mexico Rocks
This trip covers all the spots most visitors hear about. They are the most popular snorkel sites in Belize. First we visit Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley. Then we go 6 miles up the coast to Mexico Rocks. On the way we make a stop at a restaurant for lunch (each buys their own)
Coral Forest, Hol Chan Reserve and Shark Ray Alley
Something a little different. Coral Forest is a very large patch of coral in the vicinity of Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley. We visit Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley then go for lunch at a restaurant (each buys their own) and then to Coral Forest to end the day.
The Caye Caulker Trip ( full day)
This is a great trip. We visit Hol Chan and then Shark Ray Alley. Following that we take you 6 miles south to Caye Caulker. This is an interesting small community that is worth visiting. You can wander there for a few hours have a lunch in a great restaurant we know. You can walk around see some of the local culture, buy gifts and relax.
