Description
The All-in-1 is a "best of tour" that includes the most requested by our guests - an Exclusive tour only with Catamaran Belize!
We depart later to let you sleep in, avoid the crowds, and see the sunset at the end of the tour. We start with snorkeling at Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley. Hol Chan has the largest variety of species to be seen in the area and is often compared to an aquarium, while at Shark Ray Alley you get to experience a close encounter with nurse sharks and stingrays. Watch from the boat or swim with them! We then serve our famous Belizean buffet lunch on board. Traditional dishes like stewed chicken and rice and beans with our Captain’s secret recipe BBQ fish! After lunch, we stop at the neighboring island Caye Caulker for approx. 1 hour of free time to explore the island, followed by a relaxed sunset cruise back to San Pedro, with ceviche served. An open bar with local rum, vodka, gin, soft drinks, and juices is included. Try the specials, rum punch, and "panty rippers"!

Hol ChanHol Chan is Mayan for "little channel" and is a natural break in the reef, which has always been a very productive fishing area with abundant marine life. It is open to the sea beyond the reef, so allows marine creatures to travel from the outside of the reef to the inside and vice versa. It became the first marine reserve in the entire country of Belize back in 1987 and this have led to the species to re-generate and the corals of growing unharmed. This snorkeling area has the greatest variety of marine life and coral, compared to being an "underwater zoo" - you have the chance to see all kinds of corals, fishes and even sea turtles! Over 160 species of fish and forty types of coral have been recorded in the area.approx. 1 hour
Shark Ray AlleyThe story behind Shark Ray Alley is that in all times, due to its position close to the channel to go outside the protecting barrier reef for fishing, it was the point where the local fishermen came in with their catch and started cleaning it - throwing the head, etc into the water. This converted it a natural habit for the marine life such as nurse sharks and sting-rays that associate the sound of an engine to food. The water is shallow and transparent and you will see the nurse-sharks and sting-rays on the surface, meaning that even if you don't get in to the water you can enjoy it from the boat as well! The stop here normally doesn't exceed the 20 minutes, since the nurse-sharks and sting-rays eventually swim away.20-30 minutes
Belizean buffetincluding stewed chicken, BBQ fish with veggies and our captains secret sauce, rice and beans, flour tortillas, coleslaw, pico de gallo and fried sweet plantain
Caye CaulkerCaye Caulker is the island closest to Ambergris Caye, the locals call it their "sister island". This is just how you imagine an authentic Caribbean island to be and a nice contrast to the more developed Ambergris Caye. Caye Caulker was uninhabited until the middle of the nineteenth century, when a small number of the refugees fleeing civil war on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula ended up there, started planting coconuts and developed a profitable fishing industry. Since the 1960's tourism has slowly grown on the island, but it has still kept its quite laid-back atmosphere, with the motto "Go Slow". The island is about 5 miles long but the town is just about 1 mile long and 1/2 to 1 mile wide. The "road" around Caye Caulker is only made of sand and is lined with swaying palm trees, souvenir shops and local jewellery shops. A high-light to visit is the famous "Split" and the bar Lazy Lizard, the most popular place both for locals and visitors to hang out for a drink and a swim. The Split started off as a channel which was widened by Hurricane Hattie in 1961, but back then it was actually just about a foot or so deep. The islanders then dug by hand to widen the channel to allow small boats to pass through. Over the years tidal forces took over and created the 65 feet (aprox. 20 meters) channel that is now today's Split.approx. 1 hour

Wonderful experience
We had a really fun time on this tour. Our group wasn't really a party/drinking group, so it was a more laid back experience. Lots of chill time laying out on the boat and just enjoying conversations with some folks from other parts of the world. The crew were fantastic, always making themselves available and giving us a lot of cool information about the reef system and Belize history. You can tell ... more they really love their country and take a lot of pride in their efforts to protect the reefs. Bring lots of sunscreen since you're out in the sun for most of the day, but there was never a point where we felt uncomfortable about anything. You don't really need a life vest since there is so much salt in the water that you just float without even trying, but some like to use them anyways. This is our second time going on an excursion with this company and we couldn't speak more highly about the experience. A++

All in 1 Catamaran tour
The tour was amazing! Do not hesitate to book! 5 star tour. Started the day with a tour over to Hol Chan - with plenty of drinks offered - alcoholic and non available. Try a panty ripper - lol! Then snorkelling at the reef for approx an hour - incredible sightings of colourful fish - sting rays - nurse sharks and even a barracuda. Then over the shark ray alley for a fun experience swimming with the ... more nurse sharks and the rays. A full and delicious Belizian luncheon on the way to Caye Caulker - absolutely delicious! An hour to walk around CYe Caulker - tried the grilled lobster and ice cream! Back on the Catamaran for a tour and sunset! Fabulous day - staff were incredibly friendly! Thasks Charlie - Ramon and Raul - you made our day “wicked”!!!

Loved every minute
I booked this boat for my friend’s birthday while we were in Belize. The crew was extremely nice and the excursions were exciting and fun. The food was delicious and the drinks kept coming in. We were able to Bluetooth our music and the crew jumped in and treated us like family. I can’t wait to book with this crew again.

Great tour, food and crew
It's an incredibly long day the sun because there's no shade on the boat for the patrons so keep that in mind but they do tell you to bring sunblock and a towel. Besides that, the crew was amazing, nice and attentive. The stops are as described. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Incredible!
We had such an amazing time. From Antoin’s service to Ramon’s attitude and ceviche, we wouldn’t change a thing! The hospitality was next level and we had such a positive experience, we felt like we were there with long time friends. We took bicycles to the meeting point, and were planning to bike back to our hotel, but Noel couldn’t stand to let his “family” bike back alone at night. He threw our ... more bikes on the back of his golf cart and gave us a ride home. Every member of the crew made the day special for us, and the sharks were a really unique experience we’ll be talking about for years! The photos Antoin took of us in the water will help keep that memory alive. Don’t forget the sunscreen, but even with sunscreen if you’re as pale as we are, stay under the shade down below!

Best snorkel trip in my opinion
It’s not just a snorkel trip. It’s a whole day experience with free rum and good food. The break on Quay Caulker was just enough of Quay Caulker. The sunset cruise back to the dock was very relaxing and fun. Rum really broke out then. The crew is hilarious, helpful, professional- especially “wicked”. More expensive than other snorkel trips but worth it. Try to get a seat in the back under cover on ... more comfy cushions. Get in the water at Shark Alley. It is a trip. The only complaint, over which they have no control, is that there is so little marine life.
