A small skiff slips away from the powder-dry docks of San Pedro as the sun lifts off the Caribbean; spray beads on your sunglasses and the guide in a COBA shirt calls a friendly welcome. The water opens in a dozen blues, and within minutes the engine hushes and the reef takes over—coral ridges, seagrass plains and the curved backs of nurse sharks moving like dark question marks below.
easy.
6 hours.
Suitable for most people with basic swimming ability; you should be comfortable floating and swimming short distances.
No formal certification required—basic snorkeling comfort and the ability to swim are sufficient; guides offer a brief orientation.
Interactions are supervised by trained guides; nurse sharks encountered are not aggressive but you must follow rules and keep movements calm.
The private tour includes private boat transport, snorkel equipment, snacks, English-speaking licensed guide, and a waterfront lunch stop as described in the itinerary.
Not recommended for pregnant travelers or guests with serious heart or spinal conditions; check cancellation policy for weather-related changes.
Ambergris Caye’s fishing communities have long relied on surrounding reefs; Hol Chan was one of the first marine reserves established to protect important fishing grounds and reef habitat.
Follow guide instructions and use reef-safe sunscreen; Belize enforces marine reserve rules to limit reef damage and protect species like manatees and reef sharks.
