Discover the highlights in the area on your private catamaran! We start the tour 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! On a full day, we serve our famous Belizean buffet lunch on-board. Traditional Belizean dishes like stewed chicken and rice and beans with our Captain’s secret recipe BBQ fish! We then stop at the neighbor island Caye Caulker for approx. 2 hours of free time to explore the island, followed by a relaxed sunset cruise back to San Pedro. You can also choose to return earlier to the boat for one more snorkel stop on our way back. During the sunset cruise a fresh ceviche is served. Open bar featuring local rum drinks like rum punch and "panty rippers" is included all day. Half day tours can be combined with sunset.

Catamaran Belize was our favorite part of our trip! The staff was amazing-- friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we were well-fed and that our drinks were never empty! Most importantly, we felt very safe at all the destinations and it was clear that the staff was well-liked throughout the island. I had never seen such beautiful scenes underwater and above :-) This is a must-do when you're in Belize!!

Corey and Norman were great tour guides!! We visited 3 different sites to snorkel and then they took us to see the sea horses and feed the tarpins. We got to swim with nurse sharks and sting rays at our first stop and were able to explore the reef on our own at the next two stops.Corey and Norman were very friendly and knowledgeable. We took tons of pictures on our go pro and will upload those later. Great tour and great tour guides!!! With love from Brittney, Brett, Wes, Kim, Roger, and Jenn!

Coral Gardens is one of the few places to see masses of large Elk Horn corals piled on top of dead corals, all forming a new thick bed of corals. You will also see beautiful Brown & Purple Sea Fans, Pencil Coral, Bright Orange Stag Horn, Finger Coral, and Yellow Tube Sponge along with beautiful marine life that the corals attract. Coral Gardens is right outside of Caye Caulker, south of Ambergris Caye. The depth there is only about 8 ft and some areas only get about 12 ft in depth.

This was by far our favorite stop on our cruise!! Makes me want to live there! Captain Patrick, Jose and amazing Stacy made it that much better!! Lots of time on a boat and in the beautiful ocean! Most amazing snorkeling we've seen! Better than Cozumel and the others we've been on. Nurse sharks were amazing, Stacy wrestled one up and we got to touch it and see it up close. Saw sea turtles, lots of sting rays and beautiful coral and fish. Fed the Tarpons - what an experience! You do it and try not to scream!! Lol Our boat was covered and so comfortable with water available, fresh pineapple and of course, delicious rum punch!! Stopped for an amazing lunch by the beach. So well organized on serving lunch and was delicious. The only down side was the long wait to get on the boat having to wait for other people to come. I was so nervous since I can't swim and they stayed right with me with a life vest and made sure I got to see everything. By the end I was ready to be on my own looking around! Stacy is a class act and amazing. Thank you all for making it a special day. Belize is a beautiful, relaxed place. Stacy taught us a lot about her country, the language and so much more.

Hol Chan Marine Reserve is located off the southern tip of Ambergris Caye. Hol Chan Marine Reserve is doubtfully one of the most popular dive sites in the Caribbean, and indeed in Belize and has burgeoned into a unique refuge, with vigorous coral formations and a richness of marine life. The entire reserve focuses on a cut through the reef (called a quebrada) which is little more than 25 yards wide and 30 feet deep about 4 miles southeast of San Pedro. The tour will then head to the neighbouring Shark Ray Alley, where you will snorkel or dive and view ecstatic Nurse Sharks and Southern Sting Rays. When you arrive, you will see the surface often boiling with rolling sharks and stingray as they compete for the scraps. These creatures have a great tolerance for spectators.

Inclusions: Bottled water, Professional guide, Port pickup and drop-off, Shared tour, Transport by air-conditioned minivan or Ford E-350 Van, Hotel pickup and drop-off

Exclusions: Lunch, Hotel pickup and drop-off outside of Belize City, Belize
