Snorkel Hol Chan & Shark Ray Alley

Officially established in 1897, and by far the most popular site in the area, the Hol Chan Marine Reserve is located off the southern tip of Ambergris Caye, just a short 15-20 minute boat ride from San Pedro Town. Hol Chan means “little channel” in Mayan, and it is the dramatic coral walls that border this narrow, 30 foot-deepchannel,as well as the coral and sea grass perimeter that offers spectacular snorkeling and diving. Imagine marvelous creature encounters with turtles, eels, eagle and southern rays, trunk fish, trumpet fish, butterfly fish, squirrel fish, tangs, barracudas, crabs, parrot fish, wrasses, star fish, squid, damsels, groupers large and small, grunts, jacks, conch and perhaps a nurse shark or two!

If that isn’t enough marine life, jump in and surround yourself with the nurse sharks and southern stingrays at nearby Shark Ray Alley. Blue Tangs are plentiful in this area as well, adding bright flashes of blue to the dense browns and grays of the rays and sharks that happily swim nearby as you snorkel in awe of the creatures. There is nothing as exciting as sharing the water with these creatures! As long as you are in the company of a good guide (Belize Diving Adventures are some of the best) the encounter is quite safe. So prep those swimming muscles, get yourself a good set of snorkel/mask and fins, and jump in for a once in a lifetime experience!
