Description
Snorkeling at Hol Chan, visiting the nurse sharks and the stingrays, snorkeling with the manatees, feeding the tarpons, and visiting the seahorses definitely needs a whole day. This is a full day full of Fun! 
Pick-up time can either be 8:00 am or 8:30 - you decide. The first stop is at Hol Chan - "Little Channel". That is our first snorkeling stop. Once completed, less than 3 minutes boat ride we get to Shark and Ray Alley. Here you can either stay on the boat and snap pictures or go in the water to SWIM with marine species like nurse sharks, stingrays, horse-eye jacks, and much more fish. We bring sardines to feed them...
After that, we move towards our sister island Caye Caulker. We head to the Northern Channel where we go look out for the manatees. Once spotted, you get on your snorkeling gear and go in to snorkel with them. So Marvelous! 

We then go to the island and visit the famous "Split" which divides the island into two parts that were caused in 1961 by hurricane Hattie. On the leeward part of the island, we go to feed the big tarpons from the boat - if you are brave enough! Lol. Not too far we have the seahorse city reserve. You get to look at them. Once all of this is done, normally around 12:30 pm we go to the island to walk and find a restaurant of your choice where you will have lunch. Lunch is not included in this tour. We depart from Caye Caulker to San Pedro around 3:00 pm.

Wonderful Day!
Boney and Sheldon were very professional and very accommodating. We had already been to shark ray alley, so they altered the plan and took us to the secret coral gardens, absolutely stunning! We saw seahorse's and fed the tarpan in Caye Caulker. They were knowledgeable about the weather coming in and got us back safe and only a little wet..lol

Amazing day!
We were a tour of 3 adults 8 kids and it was fantastic! We saw sting rays, swam with sharks, and saw a manatee and dolphins. It was so fun and was made even better with Nester and Chap! They were accommodating, patient and helpful with the kiddos, and went out of their way to make sure we not only did the things the description included, but had extra experiences.

Fun experience, amazing ocean life
We had a great time with our guides George of the Jungle and Eddie Lover. Water was super clear and fish and coral reef were beyond my expectations. We were not abel to find any manatee's as it was stormy that day but the rest of the fish, ray's, eels, lobster, turtles, sharks, etc. made the excursion memorable. We had one daughter who had a hard time feeling comfortable breathing through the snorkel ... more so Eddie pulled her around on a tube and she held her breath and looked that way and she even had a good time. We appreciated him accomodating her so we could enjoy the ocean. The owner Luis we were able to get all of our questions answered timely and all was a success.
