Hol Chan Marine Reserve is the most popular snorkeling destination in Belize. The words hol chan mean ‘little channel’ in the Maya language and therefore the location is a natural hang out spot for marine life. The reserve covers about five square miles and about nine miles North East of Caye Caulker. The channel is about 30 feet deep, and since no fishing is permitted in the reserve, it is rich with sea life of every description . -Snorkellers can expect to see abundant angelfish, blue-stripped grunts, schoolmaster snappers and hundreds of other varieties. It is also known for the green moray eels living in tiny caves along the wall.

Shark and Ray Alley is another of our stops within the Reserve, located three miles south of Hol Chan Park. Locally known as the Aquarium, this spot is known as the shark and stingray city of Belize. This gives the snorkellers a prime opportunity to swim with the harmless Nurse Sharks and Southern Stingrays and the chance to get acquainted. This is a not to be missed spot!!!

The Coral Gardens are located two and a half miles south west of Shark and Ray Alley. The Belize Reef has such extraordinary clear water that looking through a diving mask brings you into a world of colour. The myriad hues of coral are rainbowlike: pale pink, flashy reds, deep purples, flamboyant greens and a multitude of colours in between.
