Description

Explore the pristine Northern coast of Ambergris Caye, with amazing blue waters and beautiful views along the way. While we start our morning sail, we serve you fresh fruit and meat pies. At the end of 2015, Mexico Rocks became a part of the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, to protect its rich marine life and precious corals. We do our first stop for snorkeling there and then continue to our favorite spot - a shallow area close to the reef, that is just like a natural pool (great for non-swimmers as well)! Here we make a break to relax in the shallow warm water, while the crew prepares our famous Belizean buffet on-board. Traditional dishes like stewed chicken and rice and beans with our Captain’s secret recipe BBQ fish! After lunch, we return South doing a second snorkel stop at Tres Cocos. An open bar with local rum, vodka, gin, soft drinks, and juices is included. Try the specials, rum punch, and "panty rippers"! There are min. 8 and max. 16 guests on this tour.

Mexico RocksMexico Rocks is an area of huge coral heads scattered all over this snorkeling spot - making it look like a Mexican sombrero, as some say the name comes from. These enormous coral formations contain large brains corals, gorgonians, sea fans and sea whips which provide shelter for an abundance of critters. Common creatures like angelfish, butterfly fish, groupers, snappers, file fish, grunts can be seen swimming along these formations as well as a casual loggerhead turtle. In the end of 2015, it became a part of the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, to protect its rich marine life and precious corals.approx. 1 hour
Natural poolThis is an exclusive stop that only we make - we have the advantage of only drafting 2 feet which makes it possible to anchor in such shallow water, and we are also blessed with a Captain that know the spots where nobody else goes. This is a shallow area just by the reef and except from spectacular views it is also a unique setting and a refreshing break. The water is only 4-5 feet deep.approx. 1 hour
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
Tres CocosSouth of Mexico Rocks closer to town is Tres Cocos, a small concentration of marine life along the reef where a large amount of fish can be seen. You can encounter a large population of Elk Horn corals, Lettuce Coral, Brain Coral, Sergeant Majors, Angel Fish, Damselfish, Fairy Basslet, Hawks-bill Turtles and occasional Green Turtles just to name a few. This area is an entrance for large reef fish that usually lurk around these areas in search for food.approx. 1 hour
Open barCocktails: the Belizean national drinks Rum Punch & Panty Ripper (based on coconut rum and pineapple juice). Local rum (white, dark and coconut), local vodka and local gin all from the popular Cuello's Distillery Soft drinks: Coca Cola, Coca Cola Light, Sprite, Fanta (orange, fruit punch, ginger, grapefruit), tonic and soda water. Juices: Orange, pineapple, lime and fruit punch. Water.

The semi-private option has the same itinerary as our regular Mexico Rocks Day Sail (minimum 8 and maximum 16 guests) but with a minimum of only 4 guests and the guarantee of no more ... morethan 8 guests on board. This is something unique with us on the island, a great option to avoid crowds but yet share the fun with some other guests.
Our semi-private tours are also upgraded with our *Premium* Belizean buffet: Our captain's BBQ fish with veggies and secret sauce and our chef's home-made stewed chicken, rice and beans, flour tortillas, coleslaw, pico de gallo and fried sweet plantain.
*Premium* - the buffet on our semi-private tours also includes corn on the cob and your choice of 2 skewers: shrimp, beef, or mushroom

Favorite Snorkel Trip
Every part of this trip was fantastic! I had great conversations with Captain Claudio, and Anna and Louis were super attentive hosts on the boat, great guides in the water, and all around delightful folks. At one point it started to rain while we were snorkeling and Louis swam back to the boat to move my pack so it didn't get soaked. Anna took great pictures and shared with the group. During this ... more trip we saw many different species (colors and textures) of coral, as well as many colorful fish. Healthier coral, healthier eco-system. Would highly recommend!

Incredible snorkeling with a friendly and memorable crew
Abelito and Claudio were both amazing in making the sail and snorkel very pleasant and enjoyable. Mexico rocks and the other places we went were simply stunning and we had great weather the entire time. Besides the fun conversation and high spirits, Abelito gave me both assistance and confidence as a hesitant swimmer to both hang on to the support initially and then to venture out on my own. We had ... more more than a few accommodations that we'd needed and the organizers and crew came through fully - having a toddler on board (with one parent sitting out the snorkel), veggie meals and a last minute confirmation. They came through on all of these very well and helped us have an amazing experience. Would highly recommend!
