Snorkeling Tours

Discover a Whole New World Under the Sea!

The Belize Barrier Reef, well known as the second largest living barrier reef in the world, is approximately 185 miles long with a multitude of coral formations and a large variety of marine life. It’s yours to explore! Don gear and take the plunge into the crystal waters where eagle rays and sea turtles hang out with beautifully-colored exotic fish. If you’re among the fortunate, you could meet up with friendly nurse sharks. This adventure is truly suited to those who like their adventures more mild than wild.

On our Belize Snorkeling Tour, experienced guides will take you on a 30 minute boat ride to the Southern Barrier Reef which offers several different snorkeling sites within the reserve for beginners and experienced snorkelers.

With visibility ranging from 60 to 100 feet, snorkelers often have close encounters with eagle rays, sea turtles, a wide variety of exotic fish, and even dolphins or friendly nurse sharks! Experience a bit of island life on our Belize Snorkeling Tour as the boat passes near the famous Man-O-War Caye which is a well-known Belize birding national reserve. Spot boobies & frigates overhead and learn about the mangrove formations that protection our many Belize islands. After snorkeling various hotspots along the Belize Barrier Reef, experience unspoiled island life on South Water Caye where you can relax, unwind, and have a packed picnic lunch in a pristine tropical island setting.

The snorkeling was probably my favorite. While snorkeling they show you, teach you and even let you hold different creatures in the ocean. – TripAdvisor user
