Description
🌊 Full-Day Hol Chan Marine Reserve Snorkeling Adventure
Join us on an unforgettable full-day snorkeling adventure to the world-famous Hol Chan Marine Reserve, featuring six amazing stops along the Belize Barrier Reef!

Two stops are inside the reserve — Shark Ray Alley and a guided snorkel through the Hol Chan Channel led by your experienced tour guide. Outside the reserve, we’ll explore three more exciting sites: a manatee search, the colorful Coral Gardens, and the mysterious shipwreck site. Our final stop is a sightseeing experience — feeding the huge tarpons from the boat behind Caye Caulker!

If conditions allow, you’ll have the special opportunity to snorkel with a manatee, one of Belize’s most beloved marine creatures, at one of their known hotspots.

After exploring, enjoy a delicious local lunch, fresh fruit, and refreshing drinks on board. Capture your adventure with our complimentary GoPro photos and videos, and relax with rum punch as we cruise back to Caye Caulker.


🌴 Tour Includes:
Delicious lunch & fresh fruit
Drinking water and soda with lunch
Entrance fee to Hol Chan Marine Reserve

🕓 Tour Schedule:
9:30 AM – 3:00 / 3:30 PM
(If manatees aren’t spotted in the morning heading out, we may search again on the way back — doubling your chances!)

All excursions are conducted on a 25-foot speedboat which has dry compartments for personal belongs, also equipped with life jackets for emergencies or can also be used for the snorkeling if needed, a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit, and a canopy for sun protection.
