Description
This tour includes an entire day filled with adventure. We start our day by heading down to the northern part of Ambergris Caye. On our way to Bacalar Chico Marine Reserve, we cross a fringing reef called Rocky Point. Once we arrive at the Bacalar Chico Marine Reserve we then do two snorkeling stops. One is done at the channel and the second one is done at Barracuda Alley. After a fun day of snorkeling, we stop at the beach to eat delicious rice and beans. Once the food is served and everyone is happy, we jump onboard and make our way through the river that splits Mexico with Belize. While crossing, be on the lookout for birds, fishes, rays, and sometimes even manatees. After exiting the river, we stop at the information section where you learn some history from the Mayans and the island of Ambergris Caye. This information site has a tower that you can climb. The view from up there is amazing. After leaving the information center, we make our way from the back part of the island. If the group is not tired, we can stop at an isolated beach for the kids and family to swim a little. The total cost for this tour is $600 USD for the charter. Cost includes 6 persons and any additional is $100.00 USD.

We are a small, family-owned company that provides tours by appointment for half day and full day excursions. We specialize in snorkeling trips to Hol Chan, Coral Garden, Mexico rocks, ... moreand Bacalar Chico. We also do manatee sitings, shark feeding and observing(usually 20-30 nurse sharks at Shark Alley) , tarpon school sitings (usually 50-70 tarpon at a time).

We also provide birding tours in our boat to the mangroves. We do not do scuba, but the snorkeling is so incredible that you really don't need to scuba. The main reef is 180 miles long and 1/2 mile offshore. Great snorkeling with little current or waves in 5-30 feet of water. Private charters with your family or group are also available. We can also take you fishing within the island of Ambergris Caye and cook your catch as you enjoy the sunset at the sandy beach. Dont wait much and book for a fantastic unforgettable experience.

Laji is the BEST
Laji picked us up for a fun filled day of adventure. We went to the Bacalar reserve and loved the spot. He then took us to another remote spot on island with just a care taker and Lily the puppy dog. 2 amazing snorkeling stops and an amazing lunch made by his wife. Chicken, beans, rice,coleslaw and coconut tarts. My day was so special. I rented him privately and would recommend him to anyone looking ... more for a kick back adventure.
