Raggamuffin Tours one day sailing/ snorkeling adventure from Caye
Caulker is unrivalled in quality on the island. The trip is a three
stop cruise which includes all snorkel gear, lunch and water on
board.
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.
The cost of this one day sailing/ snorkeling is
$35US which includes the Marine Park Entrance
Fee, rental of all snorkel gear and a full lunch on board the boat
(please indicate if you require a vegetarian menu).
* Special prices for charters/ groups.
