Description
Discover the highlights in the area on your private catamaran! We start the tour by 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!
After the snorkeling - if you choose afternoon schedule, we do a relaxed sunset cruise while serving you fresh ceviche. Enjoy the beauty of the sunset over the open water, then watch Ambergris Caye change into its nocturnal aspect and hopefully, also the first stars!

| Hol Chan | Hol 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 Alley | The 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. | approx 30 minutes | | Sunset Cruise | | | | Ceviche | Fresh ceviche: Fish, shrimp/conch (seasonal), onions, sweet peppers, tomatoes and coriander marinated in lime juice and a mix of spices. This is served with locally made tortilla chips. | | | Open bar | Cocktails: 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. | |
