Private Snorkeling Trips (just your group on the boat). IN BUSINESS 13 years now
We LOVE to take people snorkeling on the Belize Barrier Reef, one of the largest and most pristine reefs in the world. We visit many snorkel sites such as the famous Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley. For those that would like something different, we also visit many other less traveled sites along the barrier reef.
We are a different type of snorkel company located in San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. We cannot emphasize enough the huge difference in your experience having your own boat makes. No rushing with a more personable adventure!
Many seasoned snorkelers we have met desire to do multiple snorkel trips on the Belize Reef and visit many sites on and off the beaten trail. To get picked up and dropped off each day without concerns. Because we work alone we do every trip ourselves. Please let us know in advance if that is what you would like and we can discuss any special desire, or requests that you have.
We offer a personal and private service AND we never mix groups. Jolene and I do every snorkel trip ourselves, so you already know who your guides are. Our pictures are on the top left corner of every page of this website. Get away from tight schedules that visit the same sites every day (see yellow and blue areas below for trips). If you desire something different, please ask.
All our equipment is high quality and suitable for scuba, much better than snorkel sets found in most stores. We even have some prescription masks available for those that are near sited. Please ask if you would like to bring them.
Those with SPECIAL NEEDS
Assisting those with special needs has been one of our greatest pleasures. We have been able to offer a look at this wonderful undersea world to many who would otherwise not be able to go on a crowded snorkel boat for a variety of reasons. PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION
Underwater Digital Camera Rental Available
Cameras are of high quality. All the pictures in our photo gallery were taken with these cameras. You came take hundreds of pictures of great quality. (click here for details). |

Half day and FULL day trip details below (rates on the bottom)
Pick-up and drop off at your dock (within reasonable distance of town center).
|
| HALF Day Trips (in the yellow portion below) 9am to about Noon |
Hol Chan Marine Park and Shark Ray Alley ---(half day) |
|
The Fish are fed here and not afraid of you. Close encounters are the norm. There's a variety of fish....to many species to list. You can expect to see large Groupers, Snappers, perhaps Eagle Rays, multitudes of small beautifully colored fish. There is ALOT of life in this reserve. Hol Chan is a natural break in the reef and as result attracts a wide variety of marine life.
Shark Ray Alley is a historic location where local fishermen, in the past, had cleaned their catch of the day. This started the marine life hanging around the boats for scraps. They still do today as we feed them there. |
| Choose any 2 of the following 3 sites (1) Coral Forest, (2) Hol Chan Reserve and (3) Shark Ray Alley ---- (half day) |
| Choice of 2 of the 3 sites. Hol Chan, Shark ray Alley, (described above) and Coral Forest. These three sites are not to far from each other. Coral Forest is a large patch of coral in the vicinity of Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley. Coral Forest is combined on this half day trip with either Hol Chan Marine Reserve cut or Shark Ray. You choose. |
Mexico Rocks ---(half day) |
| Mexico Rocks is 7 Miles north of San Pedro Town center. It is a large coral area close to the reef. You can expect to see nice corals here as well as a variety of smaller reef fish. Dolphins come through on occasion as do Eagle Rays and Southern Rays. Because it is further from town it is generally less busy there. Many times we take our customers right up to the reef after they are done at Mexico Rocks for a bonus. Many have appreciated this in the past. Snorkeling right on the reef is interesting. In many areas you can actually stand on a sandy bottom next to coral formations. |
|
| FULL Day Trips (in the blue portion below) From 9:00 am to about 4:00 pm |
Mexico Rocks Area (full day) |
|
| This trip also includes the Mexico Rocks Snorkel site and other sites along the reef. We think that this is great fun. We just go to the reef and drive along until we find an interesting spot. If we or you see an interesting spot we can easily drop anchor in a sandy area check it out. We must confess that we are starting to find some favorite spots though. These trips usually find us alone on the reef and that is nice.We do 3 stops with lunch in a restaurant on the oceanfront between the 2nd and the 3rd stop. (each buys their own lunch) |
| 3 Stops - Coral Forest, Hol Chan Reserve and Shark Ray Alley ( full day) |
| Something a little different. Coral Forest is a very large patch of coral in the vicinity of Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley. The scenery underwater at Coral Forest is beautiful. (Very desirable to see if you are looking for beautiful coral formations) We visit Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley and Coral Forest during the day, Lunch at a restaurant after the first 2 sites(each buys their own) Lots of time in the water for those not interested on going to Caye Caulker. |
| The Caye Caulker Trip ( full day) |
| This is one of our most popular trips. We visit Hol Chan and then Shark Ray Alley. Following that we take you 6 miles south to Caye Caulker. This is an interesting small community that is worth visiting. You can wander there for a few hours, have a lunch in a great restaurant we know. You can walk around see some of the local culture, buy gifts, go for a swim at the famous Split and/or just relax. |
