Ho Chan Shark Ray Alley and Caye Caulker Day TripWe pick you up by boat from your resort at 9am. Just walk down the dock. We then throttle along the reef to Hol Chan Marine Reserve for the first snorkel stop at Hol Chan then we head over to Shark Ray Alley. At Hol Chan we snorkel slowly in groups of eight getting a guided tour following your guide from the boat to the reef then cross the natural break or channel, then back along the reef before heading back to the boat. It will be like a loop. We snorkel from the boat to the reef and back. The depth will be from 10 feet around the boat to 30 feet crossing the channel. Hol Chan means small cut or channel in Maya- we don't snorkel outside the reef. We stay on the inside. The deepest it will get is 30 feet. You can snorkel around the boat at 10 feet and still see thousands of fish along with other marine life like nurse sharks and stingrays. We spend about an hour and a half at Hol Chan. We continue throttling along the reef towards Caye Caulker and stop for a snorkel of Shark Ray Alley. Here we snorkel around the boats anchored to buoys. There is no natural break or channel on the reef at Shark Ray Alley. Nurse Sharks and Stingrays swim under the boat at about 15-20 feet deep. You can free dive the sandy bottom to get a closer view of the rays and maybe even touch the nurse sharks. We spend an hour at Shark Ray Alley. After snorkelling both Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley at Hol Chan Marine Reserve, we continue throttling along the reef towards Caye Caulker. Caye Caulker is a small island. Along the beach there are restaurants and bars you can buy local food and drinks. We usually just base at the “Split”. Caye Caulker has a narrow channel passing through it splitting the island in two. This area is popular for the open sandy beaches and island ambiance. There is a restaurant and bar located at the Split if you don't want to walk further down the beach for food and drinks. After snorkeling two stops and spending island time on Caye Caulker for lunch and drinks, we will drop you off at your resort around 5pm.9:00 AM7 hours
