Belize Hol Chan Marine Reserve & Shark Ray Alley Snorkel Tour - Ambergris Caye

The trip was definitely the best part of my stay in San Pedro. The guides were super nice and knew what they were doing, so we felt safe the entire trip. Would definitely recommend going!!

We did the snorkeling adventure through Amigo Del Mar Dive Shop. Our guide Carlos (AKA Meow) was amazing. Made everyone comfortable and very professional. The knowledge and skill this guy has would be hard to beat. I would recommend this company all day long. Thanks for the Awsome experience Carlos. We will be back.

We did a half day tour with Jonathan and it was fantastic! He was able to point out and name all kinds of fish and marine life, including a puffer fish and spotted eagle ray. We spent about 45 min snorkeling at Hol Chan and it was the perfect amount of time. Only complaint is that I wish we stayed at Shark Ray Alley for longer than 15 minutes. We caught the tail-end of another boat feeding the nurse sharks and were able to see them for a few minutes, however once the food was gone the sharks were gone as well. Not sure why our guide didn't bring bait to keep the sharks around and give us time to swim.

Everything was perfect. We were picked up promptly, saw an abundance of fish- including enormous sharks and rays. One of the best things I’ve done. It would still be a bargain at twice the price! Excellent value.

The guys were so patient and helpful! We saw beautiful fish, nurse sharks, a sting ray, and amazing coral. Highly recommended!

This snorkeling tour was so much fun. Thanks to a smaller group, I was able to explore as much as I wanted. Hol Chan Marine Reserve is so beatiful!

I was so excited about this trip and it seemed like the reviews were great, but we did not have that same experience. They told us they would pick us up at 8:45 from our hotel's dock, they came at about 9:05 with no apologies for being late. I understand tours can run behind pick up other people, but it was so hot sitting in the direct sun for that long and having no idea what the boat looked like and having to ask every boat that came by if they were for us. They seemed put out to even be having to pick us up, but it's included in the price. When we got to Hol Chan we were informed that we were on a boat full of other people who were doing snuba. We were the only 2 snorkelers on this trip, I'm not sure why we'd have been put on the same trip as them. We had to sit there and wait forever while every one went out doing the snuba. It was such a waste of time. When we did get to snorkel they made us go out with a guide and he told us we had to stay with him, which was fine, but he seriously was the slowest swimmer I could ever imagine. I felt like we sat in the water waiting for him to catch up, I got so cold in the water being still waiting for him. The reefs were beautiful and shark ray alley was great, but overall this tour company was pretty awful. Rude, not helpful, and the fact that it was not as advertised being a snuba trip was a real disappointment.

Our guide was amazing. Small boat, but better than the other boats out there. We got a lot more time in the water than other companies doing the same tour. Plus since it was a smaller group there were a lot less people which is always better when snorkeling.

Absolutely gorgeous sites to snorkel! Hol Chan had amazing marine life - I am an experienced scuba diver of over 15 years and saw more on this snorkel than on some dives. We were treated to sea turtles, manatees, nurse shark, moray eels, stingrays, and more. Shark Ray Alley is treat for anyone who loves to swim with marine life! Definitely recommended!

Beautiful day, only one other couple on our tour. Calm, clear waters. We saw manta rays, sea turtles, lots of colorful fish, jelly fish no one got stung and quite a few nurse sharks to swim with. Got some great underwater pics and videos:
