Enjoy a guided snorkeling tour in the jewel of the second largest barrier reef in the world at Hol Chan Reserve, the first protected marine reserve in Belize. A favorite among locals and tourists alike, expect to swim with sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, and brightly colored fish as they wander through the rich coral and sea beds. Eagle eyed guests may even spot octopi or manatees!

Savor a once in a lifetime experience getting close and personal with the docile, puppylike Nurse Sharks. Located only a few miles from Hol Chan Reserve, you will be surrounded by dozens of these friendly creatures and stingrays. Don’t worry, you’re not on the menu!

Admire the diverse marine life and exquisite coral formations of Mexico Rocks, a protected marine reserve on the north end of Ambergris Caye. Mexico Rocks is home to a variety of tropical fish species, including parrotfish, angelfish, sergeant majors, blue tang, and so much more. A bit more remote than some of the more popular destinations, this is a must for anyone mesmerized by coral reefs. You may even spy sea turtles, nudibranchs, or dolphins!
